Getting Started

Create a Weaviate database

Create a Weaviate cloud sandbox instance as described in this guide. Collect the API key and URL from the Details tab in Weaviate Cloud (WCD).

Create a .env file and add the following API keys

• your OpenAI API key as OPENAI_APIKEY (you can get this in your OpenAI platform settings)
• your Weaviate API key as WCD_API_KEY (you can get this in your Weaviate dashboard under sandbox details)
• your Weaviate host URL as WCD_URL (you can get this in your Weaviate dashboard under sandbox details)

Running Weaviate

To start the Weaviate instance, run the following command using the docker-compose.yml file.

docker compose up -d

Importing Data

Before you can import data, add any images in the public/images folder.

To install all project dependencies, run:

npm i

To import your data into Weaviate and initialize a collection, run the following:

npm run import

Running your web app

Ensure your Weaviate instance runs with imported data before starting your web app.

To run the web app:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
