Quick Start
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start development server (port 5174)
npm run dev
# Build for production
npm run build
Configuration
The UI proxies requests to NornicDB server at localhost:7475. Configure in vite.config.ts:
proxy: {
'/api': { target: 'http://localhost:7475' },
'/db': { target: 'http://localhost:7475' },
'/nornicdb': { target: 'http://localhost:7475' },
'/auth': { target: 'http://localhost:7475' },
}
Theme
The UI uses a Norse-inspired dark theme with NornicDB's signature emerald green accent:
- Background:
#0a0e1a (Norse Night)
- Cards/Panels:
#141824 (Norse Shadow)
- Primary:
#10b981 (Nornic Green)
- Accent:
#4a9eff (Frost Ice)
- Highlight:
#d4af37 (Valhalla Gold)
Authentication Modes
- None (
--no-auth): Skip login, direct access to browser
- Dev Mode: Username/password form (configured via server flags)
- OAuth: SSO with external providers (enterprise)
Usage
Cypher Queries
Execute Neo4j-compatible Cypher queries:
# Count all nodes
MATCH (n) RETURN count(n)
# Find nodes by label
MATCH (n:File) RETURN n LIMIT 10
# Search properties
MATCH (n) WHERE n.title CONTAINS 'typescript' RETURN n
Semantic Search
Search nodes by meaning, not just keywords:
- Enter natural language queries
- Results ranked by BM25 + vector similarity (RRF)
- Click any result to view details
- Use "Find Similar" to discover related content
