This is a project built using React and Giraffe Library integrated with InfluxDB and Express.

Objective

Visualise real time data for Internet of Things devices. Allow user to select different kinds of graph types. Users will also be able to customise their dashboard to fit any number of different graphs on their customizable dashboard.

What's inside:

Client

React app created with create-react-app that uses Giraffe and RGL to render plots and customize dashboard. See the client directory.

Server

ExpressJS server that uses both the InfluxDB API and the influxdb-client-js library to query data from an InfluxDB instance. See server directory. You will need to set up your own InfluxDB environment and add your credentials to dotenv file.

Uses Nodemon to allow automatic restart upon saving code in editor for continuous testing.
