node-ner

Lightweight Nodejs Stanford NER Project module

Requirements

• Stanford NER Download
• Java 1.8+

Pre-installation

Stanford NER needs to be running as a tcp server, default is 8080. Copy server.sh to same directory as stanford-ner project.

/stanford-ner-2017-06-09
|  /classifiers
|  /lib
|  build.xml
|  stanford-ner.jar
|  ...
|  server.sh

Run the server

sudo ./server.sh 8080

If you change the TCP port from 8080, you need to make sure you define the port in your project method. The parse method defaults to port 8080.

Installation

npm install --save @enmaso/node-ner

Usage

const ner = require('@enmaso/node-ner')

let file = 'path/to/file.extension'
ner.parse(file, (tags) => {
  console.log(tags)
})

Returns JSON object. If you use a port other than 8080 for the NERServer, you will need to pass the port in with your parse method

ner.parse(file, 8080, (tags) => {
  console.log(tags)
})

Kill Stanford NERServer

$ ps -A |grep java
$ kill -9 PID

PID will be the first number of the server.sh process
