Contexture Showcase

[chrislatorres]

I created a website to showcase Contexture's power and ability to adapt to diverse datasets. The datasets include: car crashes, restaurant locations, COVID-19, SAT scores, school grants, bank failures.

Site link here: Contexture.site

It is a great way to introduce someone to Contexture, as they can explore different types of data and have their own unique findings from exploring.

By accident, while working with a diverse set of datasets, I came up with an almost completely automated system for creating searches since there needed to be a lot of conversion from one data type to the ES bulk JSON format.

In the end, it can probably be as easy as dropping in a <csv|json|pdf|xslx|ods> file , convert it to the elastic search bulk JSON format (using elastic search as the provider in this case), create an index in elastic search, and then have an interface that automatically detects the schema and dynamically pick the right components. This doesn't account for some of the ES stuff like creating an index pattern and possibly updating security settings for access.

I wanted to put the idea out to the Contexture community and see if it would be valuable project to go forward with, if it would solve anyone's problem.

Added a link to documentation on the Contexture.site navbar to allow developers to instantly be able to learn more about Contexture after demoing.

I created a awesome-contexture repo.

This list includes the best applications, libraries, documentation, and other resources from the Contexture ecosystem. It is a great way for the community to see the best of Contexture in one place and to be able to contribute to the growing ecosystem

Here is the PR to the official awesome repo (128k+ stars, number 8 top-stared repo in all of GitHub):

• Add Contexture sindresorhus/awesome#1727
  • merged to official repo
  • tweeted out by official account

Created a few repos to help Contexture users get started quickly:

• contexture-api - A simple FeathersJS REST API for querying a Contexture tree. (was previously mentioned in contexture-api #35)
• contexture-website - A basic website to build an interface for contexture-api.

Screenshot of Contexture Website connected to Contexture API connected to MongoDB:

Created a Contexture search interface that allows users to search and filter through their cryptocurrency account balances via the Zabo API. This provides another use case to show how Contexture can be used.

The applications pulls account information and balances from the API, sends it to MongoDB, and then has a service that queries a Contexture tree by sending Contexture DSL to a contexture-api endpoint.

update: Anyone can try it out themselves now at https://zabo.site/ .

@softwarebycl Hi it looks Contexture.site is a great showcase for Contexture's power. However, When I clicked the link I could only see a blank page.
