Neo4j Browser

Explore the graph, one query at a time.

Neo4j Browser is Neo4j’s built-in client application, a mashup of a REPL, data visualization and lightweight IDE.

Goals

• developer focused

• every interaction is a demonstration

• uses only public APIs

• for modern browsers, with reasonable fallbacks

Development

Set up your environment

• Install node.js

• Clone this Github repository

• npm install

  This installs npm modules needed to build the browser code.

• npm install -g grunt-cli

  This puts the grunt command on your path.

Run in development mode

• Run Neo4j server (from a downloaded distribution of Neo4j, or from your IDE)

• grunt server

  This listens on port 9000, serving up static documents, and forwarding other HTTP requests to Neo4j on port 7474. Bolt requests are not forwarded, they are sent directly to the Neo4j server on port 7687. Any local changes to the browser code will be applied immediatley by reloading the page.

Sync server

To setup a local sync login server go to project root and invoke node sync-server/server.js. An express server now started on https://localhost:9001 with self signed TLS certificates.
