This project is a website to filter anime/video/tv characters based on some character-specific tags and properties.

• TypeScript
• Node.js
• Express.js
• MySQL
• Bulma.css

This project relies heavily on Full-text-search to return ranked queries.

1. Setup the project

   git clone https://github.com/lepasq/cosplay-filter.git
   cd cosplay-filter
   npm install
   tsc public/js/script.ts

2. Next you need to set up your MySQL server, fill in your environment variables and run schema.sql. As an example, you should have a look at .env:

   #.env
   DB_PORT=3306
   PORT=4000
   USR=root
   HOST=localhost
   DATABASE=Cosplay
   PASSWORD=12345678
   CONNECTION_LIMIT=20

3. Next you need to change the path of your .csv files in the file src/models/schema.sql to your local path.

4. Finally, start the server

   npm start

Example: human strong genre=amine will query all anime characters with the tags human and strong will query all anime characters with the tags human and strong.

It is also possible to use MySQL query specific operators, like + to indicate that a word must be present in each row, or - to indicate that a word must not be present in a row.
