# A Datomic entity browser for prod

This app is an easy way to get a generic web-based support/diagnostics UI for any production Datomic service, with the ability to extend using Clojure to add custom queries, routes, and views.

## Features

Standalone **Datomic Browser** mode (connect by Datomic URI)
* Out of the box, a general Datomic entity browser
* schema views, db-stats, history views, searchable EAVT index, entity navigation, reverse refs, etc
* large database support, fluent virtual scroll over 50k+ records
* "It has everything you would want"

Integrated **Service Browser** mode (service intermediated query)
* securely embed in your service as a Clojure lib -- no direct Datomic URI connection
* invoke and navigate your actual service query endpoints (Clojure fns)
* integrate your secure production ring middlewares for auth, etc
* custom entrypoint and dependency injection – integrate your standard service dependencies to invoke the service endpoints you already have
* first class support for **PII protection**
* built-in query supervision feature to safeguard against slow queries

By the way, it's only like 300 LOC: [datomic_browser2.cljc](https://github.com/hyperfiddle/datomic-browser/blob/main/src/dustingetz/datomic_browser2.cljc). Fork it! Program it!

## Getting started

Prerequisites
* `java -version` modern version, we use `openjdk version "23.0.2"`
* Clojure CLI https://clojure.org/guides/install_clojure

```shell
git clone git@github.com:hyperfiddle/datomic-browser.git
cd datomic-browser
./datomic_fixtures_mbrainz_small.sh       # Download Datomic w/ mbrainz dataset
#./datomic_fixtures_mbrainz_full.sh       # optional
./run_datomic.sh
clj -A:dev -M -m datomic-browser.main
# Browse databases: http://datomic.localhost:8080
# Admin dashboard:  http://admin.localhost:8080

# boot with Datomic transactor URI
clj -A:dev -M -m datomic-browser.main datomic-uri 'datomic:dev://localhost:4334/*'
```

Repl: jack-in with `:dev` alias, then eval `(dev/-main)`

## License
* free for individual use on local dev machines, free use requires login to activate (we are a business)
* deploying in prod at work requires a license, contact us.
* still working out the details
