openblockchaininfo/frontend repository overview

⁠openblockchain: Frontend

Frontend is one of the microservices which comprise the openblockchain application.

⁠Architecture

The project is managed through the openblockchain⁠

The project is split into several services:

• Cassandra persists the data: blocks, transactions, and visualisations (analysed data).
• Bitcoin is used to connect to the Bitcoin blockchain. It's a simple Bitcoin Core node whose role is to index all the blocks and transactions and make them consumable through a HTTP JSON RPC interface.
• Scanner⁠ connects to the bitcoin service through its APIs and stores all the blocks and transactions in the Cassandra database.
• Spark⁠ analyses the Bitcoin blockchain data stored in Cassandra.
• API⁠ is a REST interface that allows clients to consume the data stored in Cassandra.
• Frontend⁠ is the web app used to explore the blockchain and visualise analysed data.

Each service contains 1 or more containers and can be scaled independently from each other.

⁠Installation

npm install

⁠Running Dev Server

npm run dev

The first time it may take a little while to generate the first webpack-assets.json and complain with a few dozen [webpack-isomorphic-tools] (waiting for the first Webpack build to finish) printouts, but be patient. Give it 30 seconds.

⁠Using Redux DevTools

Redux Devtools⁠ are enabled by default in development.

• CTRL+H Toggle DevTools Dock
• CTRL+Q Move DevTools Dock Position
• see redux-devtools-dock-monitor⁠ for more detailed information.

If you have the Redux DevTools chrome extension⁠ installed it will automatically be used on the client-side instead.

If you want to disable the dev tools during development, set __DEVTOOLS__ to false in /webpack/dev.config.js. DevTools are not enabled during production.

⁠Building and Running Production Server

npm run build
npm run start
