Danish Folklore Nexus

This is the home of the Danish Folklore Nexus (DFN), first conceived and developed as an Adobe Flash application by Dr. Tim Tangherlini (UCLA) and Pete Broadwell (UCLA). DFN is designed to aid students, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore the vast folklore collection of Evald Tang Kristensen from 19th century Denmark. This Wiki will outline the use cases of the application as well as development objectives and upcoming features.

Version 2 (Post Flash Application)

The objective of this version is to replicate the original application as closely as possible with updated UI/UX features. Features include:

  • Data and Topic & Index Navigators
  • People, Places, Story views
  • Dynamic tabs
  • Related people, places, stories

Getting Started

  1. Install node.js which comes with npm, a JS package manager.
  2. On terminal, run npm to check if node has been successfully installed
  3. Once installed, navigate to repository directory (i.e. C:/Users/[username]/Desktop/Nexus2) and run npm install
  4. After all packages have been installed, run application with npm start
  5. Once server is successfully running, open on browser at localhost:3000

Troubleshooting

If you are getting errors with failed to compile, it's likely that node needs to be updated to a specific version. Set npm 6.1.0v and node 8.9.4v
