Brainy Examples

This directory contains examples demonstrating various features and use cases of the Brainy vector graph database.

Browser-Server Search Example

The browser-server-search example demonstrates how to use Brainy in a browser, call a server-hosted version for search, store the results locally, and then perform further searches against the local instance.

This approach allows you to:

• Search a server-hosted Brainy instance from a browser
• Store the search results in a local Brainy instance
• Perform further searches against the local instance without needing to query the server again
• Add data to both local and server instances

See the browser-server-search README for detailed instructions.

Other Examples

Augmentation Examples

• conduitAugmentationExample.js - Demonstrates how to use conduit augmentations for syncing Brainy instances
• memoryAugmentationExample.js - Shows how to use memory augmentations for custom storage

Pipeline Examples

• sequentialPipelineExample.js - Demonstrates the sequential pipeline for processing data

Demo

• demo.html - A web demo showcasing Brainy's capabilities

Configuration Examples

• configurationTest.js - Shows how to configure Brainy with custom options
• readOnlyTest.js - Demonstrates using Brainy in read-only mode
• buildTimeRegistration.js - Shows how to register augmentations at build time

Data Inspection

• dataInspectionExample.js - Demonstrates how to inspect data stored in Brainy

Running the Examples

Most JavaScript examples can be run using Node.js:

node examples/sequentialPipelineExample.js

For HTML examples, you can open them directly in a browser or serve them using a local HTTP server:

# Using a simple HTTP server
npx http-server

Then navigate to the appropriate URL in your browser (e.g., http://localhost:8080/examples/demo.html).
