The loklak_search creates a website using the loklak server as a data source. The goal is to get a search site, that offers timeline search as well as custom media search, account and geolocation search.

In order to run the service you can use the API of http://api.loklak.org or install your own loklak server data storage engine. loklak_server is a server application which collects messages from various social media tweet sources, including twitter. The server contains a search index and a peer-to-peer index sharing interface. All messages are stored in an elasticsearch index.

The site of this repo is deployed on the GitHub gh-pages branch and automatically deployed here: http://loklak.org

• HTML - Structure of the web page generated.
• CSS - Styling options and details of the web page.
• JavaScript(JSON) - Used to store information for deploying the application such as dependencies.
• Angular2 - Structure for deployment of the web page.

• Bower - The goal is to use Bower to manage front-end dependencies in future.

• Angular-cli
• node --version >= 6
• npm --version >= 3

First we will need to install angular-cli by using the following command:

$ npm install -g @angular/cli

After installing angular-cli we need to install our required node modules, so we will do that by using the following command:

$ npm install

• Step 1: Fork loklak_search repository and clone it to your desktop
• Step 2: Then cd into that cloned folder
• Step 3: Deploy locally by running this :$ ng serve

• Step 1: Install the Redux Devtools extension.
• Step 2: We don't enable the ReduxDevtools by default due to performance considerations. To enable this, un-comment the StoreDevtools import in app.module.ts.

Note: Please make sure that you comment the StoreDevtools import again before making the PR.

With these very simple steps you can have loklak_search deployed:

• Step 1: Fork loklak_search repository and clone it to your desktop
• Step 2: Then checkout to your master branch $ git checkout master
• Step 3: Deploy running this : $ npm run deploy
• Step 4: Visit https://yourusername.github.io/loklak_search and you should see the search running
• Step 5: As you search you might see that it can't find anything, to resolve this, on search you will see there is a red shield on search bar, click on it and allow to load scripts
• Step 6: Reload and you will have a function loklak search page deployed with github pages.

See here to run your own https://github.com/loklak/loklak_server (recommended), and change apiUrl in config accordingly. Last resource, or for production is http://api.loklak.org
