| 1 | +# node-text-intelligence |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Node.js demo app for Deepgram Text Intelligence. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Architecture |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- **Backend:** Node.js (JavaScript) on port 8081 |
| 8 | +- **Frontend:** Vite + vanilla JS on port 8080 (git submodule: `text-intelligence-html`) |
| 9 | +- **API type:** REST — `POST /api/text-intelligence` |
| 10 | +- **Deepgram API:** Text Intelligence / Read API (`/v1/read`) |
| 11 | +- **Auth:** JWT session tokens via `/api/session` (WebSocket auth uses `access_token.<jwt>` subprotocol) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Key Files |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +| File | Purpose | |
| 16 | +|------|---------| |
| 17 | +| `server.js` | Main backend — API endpoints and request handlers | |
| 18 | +| `deepgram.toml` | Metadata, lifecycle commands, tags | |
| 19 | +| `Makefile` | Standardized build/run targets | |
| 20 | +| `sample.env` | Environment variable template | |
| 21 | +| `frontend/main.js` | Frontend logic — UI controls, API calls, result rendering | |
| 22 | +| `frontend/index.html` | HTML structure and UI layout | |
| 23 | +| `deploy/Dockerfile` | Production container (Caddy + backend) | |
| 24 | +| `deploy/Caddyfile` | Reverse proxy, rate limiting, static serving | |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Quick Start |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```bash |
| 29 | +# Initialize (clone submodules + install deps) |
| 30 | +make init |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +# Set up environment |
| 33 | +test -f .env || cp sample.env .env # then set DEEPGRAM_API_KEY |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +# Start both servers |
| 36 | +make start |
| 37 | +# Backend: http://localhost:8081 |
| 38 | +# Frontend: http://localhost:8080 |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Start / Stop |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +**Start (recommended):** |
| 44 | +```bash |
| 45 | +make start |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +**Start separately:** |
| 49 | +```bash |
| 50 | +# Terminal 1 — Backend |
| 51 | +node server.js |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +# Terminal 2 — Frontend |
| 54 | +cd frontend && corepack pnpm run dev -- --port 8080 --no-open |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +**Stop all:** |
| 58 | +```bash |
| 59 | +lsof -ti:8080,8081 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +**Clean rebuild:** |
| 63 | +```bash |
| 64 | +rm -rf node_modules frontend/node_modules frontend/.vite |
| 65 | +make init |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Dependencies |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +- **Backend:** `package.json` — Uses `corepack pnpm` — Node's built-in package manager version pinning. |
| 71 | +- **Frontend:** `frontend/package.json` — Vite dev server |
| 72 | +- **Submodules:** `frontend/` (text-intelligence-html), `contracts/` (starter-contracts) |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Install: `corepack pnpm install` |
| 75 | +Frontend: `cd frontend && corepack pnpm install` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## API Endpoints |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +| Endpoint | Method | Auth | Purpose | |
| 80 | +|----------|--------|------|---------| |
| 81 | +| `/api/session` | GET | None | Issue JWT session token | |
| 82 | +| `/api/metadata` | GET | None | Return app metadata (useCase, framework, language) | |
| 83 | +| `/api/text-intelligence` | POST | JWT | Analyzes text for summaries, topics, sentiment, and intents. | |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +## Customization Guide |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### Toggling Analysis Features |
| 88 | +The API supports four analysis features, each enabled independently via query parameters: |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +| Feature | Parameter | Values | Effect | |
| 91 | +|---------|-----------|--------|--------| |
| 92 | +| Summarize | `summarize` | `true`, `v2` | Generate text summary | |
| 93 | +| Topics | `topics` | `true` | Detect discussed topics | |
| 94 | +| Sentiment | `sentiment` | `true` | Analyze sentiment (positive/neutral/negative) | |
| 95 | +| Intents | `intents` | `true` | Detect user intents | |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +**Backend:** These are passed as query parameters to the Deepgram Read API. Enable/disable them in the backend handler or let the frontend control them. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +**Frontend:** The frontend has checkboxes for each feature. Users select which analyses to run. To change defaults (e.g., always enable sentiment), edit `frontend/main.js`. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +### Changing the Language |
| 102 | +Add `language=<code>` as a query parameter. Default is `en`. Supported languages depend on the feature — check Deepgram docs. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +### Input Modes |
| 105 | +The app supports two input modes: |
| 106 | +1. **Text** — User pastes text directly |
| 107 | +2. **URL** — User provides a URL; the backend fetches and analyzes the text content |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +### Customizing the Response |
| 110 | +The full Deepgram response includes: |
| 111 | +- `results.summary.text` — Summary text |
| 112 | +- `results.topics.segments[].topics[].topic` — Detected topics with confidence |
| 113 | +- `results.sentiments.average` — Overall sentiment with score |
| 114 | +- `results.sentiments.segments[]` — Per-segment sentiment |
| 115 | +- `results.intents.segments[].intents[].intent` — Detected intents with confidence |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +You can modify the backend response formatter to include/exclude specific fields or add post-processing. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## Frontend Changes |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +The frontend is a git submodule from `deepgram-starters/text-intelligence-html`. To modify: |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +1. **Edit files in `frontend/`** — this is the working copy |
| 124 | +2. **Test locally** — changes reflect immediately via Vite HMR |
| 125 | +3. **Commit in the submodule:** `cd frontend && git add . && git commit -m "feat: description"` |
| 126 | +4. **Push the frontend repo:** `cd frontend && git push origin main` |
| 127 | +5. **Update the submodule ref:** `cd .. && git add frontend && git commit -m "chore(deps): update frontend submodule"` |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +**IMPORTANT:** Always edit `frontend/` inside THIS starter directory. The standalone `text-intelligence-html/` directory at the monorepo root is a separate checkout. |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +### Adding a UI Control for a New Feature |
| 132 | +1. Add the HTML element in `frontend/index.html` (input, checkbox, dropdown, etc.) |
| 133 | +2. Read the value in `frontend/main.js` when making the API call or opening the WebSocket |
| 134 | +3. Pass it as a query parameter or request body field |
| 135 | +4. Handle it in the backend `server.js` — read the param and pass it to the Deepgram API |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +## Environment Variables |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose | |
| 140 | +|----------|----------|---------|---------| |
| 141 | +| `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY` | Yes | — | Deepgram API key | |
| 142 | +| `PORT` | No | `8081` | Backend server port | |
| 143 | +| `HOST` | No | `0.0.0.0` | Backend bind address | |
| 144 | +| `SESSION_SECRET` | No | — | JWT signing secret (production) | |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +## Conventional Commits |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +All commits must follow conventional commits format. Never include `Co-Authored-By` lines for Claude. |
| 149 | + |

| 157 | +## Testing |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +```bash |
| 160 | +# Run conformance tests (requires app to be running) |
| 161 | +make test |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +# Manual endpoint check |
| 164 | +curl -sf http://localhost:8081/api/metadata | python3 -m json.tool |
| 165 | +curl -sf http://localhost:8081/api/session | python3 -m json.tool |
| 166 | +``` |
