Viglet Turing ES: Developer Guide

Viglet Turing ES (https://viglet.com/turing) is an open source solution (https://github.com/openviglet), which has Semantic Navigation and Chatbot as its main features. You can choose from several NLPs to enrich the data. All content is indexed in Solr as search engine.

More Documentation​

Technical documentation on Turing ES is available at https://docs.viglet.com/turing.

Open Source Development​

You can collaborate with Turing, participating in its development. Below are the steps to create your Turing environment.

Development Structure​

Frameworks​

Turing ES was developed using Spring Boot for its backend.

The UI is currently using AngularJS, but a new UI is being developed using Angular 12 with Primer CSS.

In addition to Java, you also need to have Git and NodeJS installed.

Databases​

By default it uses the H2 database, but can be changed to other databases using Spring Boot properties. It comes bundled with OpenNLP in the same JVM.

Programming Language and Deploy​

It uses Java 14 and its deployment is done with Gradle 7.4 and works on Unix and Windows.

Docker​

To use Semantic Navigation and Chatbot you must have a Solr service available. If you prefer to work with all the services Turing depends on, you can use docker-compose to start these services, we use the Docker Desktop installed on computer.

IDE​

You can use Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse or Eclipse or Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ as IDEs.

Download​

Use the git command line to download the repository to your computer.

Turing Server and Connectors​

git clone https://github.com/openviglet/turing.git

Run during Development​

To run Turing ES, execute the following lines:

Turing Server​

Development​
With UI​
cd turing
./gradlew turing-app:bootrun
Without update UI​
cd turing
./gradlew turing-app:bootrun -Pno-ui
New Turing UI​

Start the Turing Server using dev-ui profile:

cd turing
./gradlew turing-app:bootrun --args='--spring.profiles.active=dev-ui' -Pno-ui

And start one of the components of turing-ui:

cd turing/turing-ui

## Console
ng serve console

## Search
ng serve sn

## Chatbot
ng serve converse

## Welcome
ng serve welcome
important

You need to start the Turing Server and Solr first.

Build​
cd turing
./gradlew turing-app:build

Java SDK​

Development​
cd turing-java-sdk
./gradlew build
java -cp build/libs/turing-java-sdk-all.jar com.viglet.turing.client.sn.sample.TurSNClientSample
important

You need to start the Turing Server and Solr first.

Build​
cd turing-java-sdk
./gradlew build

Or use jitpack in your project at https://jitpack.io/#openviglet/turing-java-sdk

WEM Listener​

cd turing
./gradlew turing-wem:shadowJar

For development, copy the turing-wem/build/libs/turing-wem-all.jar into WEM_DIR/libs and test the listener using turing-wem command line.

Database Connector​

cd turing
./gradlew turing-jdbc:shadowJar

Filesystem Connector​

cd turing
./gradlew turing-filesystem:shadowJar

Nutch​

Nutch 1.18​
cd turing/
./gradlew turing-nuch:nutch1_18:packageDistribution
