Demo Site: https://mit-ll.github.io/linkq

Created with React + TypeScript + Vite

Setup

1. Clone this repo
2. Install the necessary node packages

npm i

3. Get an API key from OpenAI https://openai.com/blog/openai-api
4. Duplicate .env and rename the new file to .env.local
5. Paste your API key into .env.local. DO NOT paste your API key into .env. It will be committed to the repo. .env.local will NOT be committed. You can read more about environment variables here https://vitejs.dev/guide/env-and-mode
6. Run the development server

npm run dev

7. Open the webapp in your browser at http://localhost:5173/

Change KG Data Source

src/utils/knowledgeBase contains most of the code that you would have to change to switch to a different KG data source. There are also some types in src/types/idTable.ts and src/types/resultsTable.ts that would need to be changed.
