Node.js demo app for Node.js

A demo app that uses Prediction.io node.js SDK.

https://github.com/PredictionIO/PredictionIO

Install the demo app

1. Install Preditcion.io server - instructions: http://docs.prediction.io/current/installation/index.html
2. Install node.js - http://nodejs.org/
3. Extract repo to some directory (ex. C:/pio_demo)
4. Open cmd (windows) or terminal (mac)
5. change directory to the project directory: cd C:/pio_demo
6. Install module dependencies

  npm install

7. Run the webapp server

  node index

8. Open your browser to http://localhost:7676

Use the demo app

The demo has a 3-column interface: Users, Colors, and Recommendations

This simulates the typical prediction.io use case environment. In this case, we are simulating a community of users that have various color preferences. We want to present our users with color recommendations using Prediction.io.

In a real setup, colors would be something more useful - movies, music, places, etc. But this is a simplified sandbox to explore the functionality.

1. Add new users by filling out the name text field, and clicking the [+]
2. Add new colors by clicking the [+] next to Colors
3. Click a user in the Users table to work with a particular user.
4. Click colors to add them to the user's list of likes.
5. Recommendations for the user are shown in the Recommendations column.
