# Web UI
Exograph includes an embedded web interface powered by Phoenix LiveView and Monaco Editor.
## Starting
mix exograph.web --prefix exograph --port 4200
Options:
- `--repo` — Ecto repo module (uses built-in if omitted)
- `--prefix` — table prefix (default: `exograph`)
- `--port` — HTTP port (default: `4200`)
- `--database-url` — Postgres URL (or set `EXOGRAPH_DATABASE_URL`)
## Search Modes
**Structural** (default) — ExAST pattern matching:
from(f in Fragment,
where: matches(f, "def handle_call(_, _, _) do ... end"),
limit: 20
)
**Text** — full-text search in source code:
TODO
deprecated
GenServer
Toggle between modes with the Structural/Text buttons in the header.
## Editor Features
- Elixir syntax highlighting (Monaco built-in)
- Autocompletion for DSL macros (`from`, `matches`, `contains`), sources (`Fragment`, `Definition`), and field access
- Auto-closing brackets and quotes
- Format button (Cmd+Enter to run, Format button to reformat)
- Error diagnostics with red underlines on the error line
## Results
Results are grouped by package, then by file:
- Package headers link to hex.pm and are collapsible
- File paths link to hex.pm package version
- Code previews show syntax-highlighted context around the match
- "Load more" button for pagination
