SawtoothExplorer

SawtoothExplorer is an application that provides visibility into the Sawtooth Blockchain for Node Operators.

Dependencies

SawtoothExplorer is built using Angular and Angular Material. The project is managed using the Angular CLI. To run the project, you'll need Docker.

Getting Started

Before starting the SawtoothExplorer app, have the API running locally. Instructions for doing so are available in the Sawtooth documentation, under Installing and Running Sawtooth.

Once this is up and running, start the explorer container and rest api proxy container: docker-compose up

By default, the sawtooth API proxy is available at port 8090, so the apiUrl is already set to http://localhost:8090. To change where the explorer connects to the rest api, change the value of apiUrl in environments/environments.ts.

The minified and compiled web assets are also served at http://localhost:8091.

Local development

The explorer container is where you'll perform most development related functions, the container starts in serve mode, which will auto load changes. To connect to the container to perform builds and other functions: docker exec -it sawtooth-explorer /bin/bash

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|module. More information can be found on the Angular CLI github page. Run these commands inside of the explorer container.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build. These files must be served through a web server such as nginx.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma + Jasmine.

To run a single spec or test, update the spec from describe to fdescribe or fit to ffit respectively to run Jasmine in focused spec mode.

To generate a report on code coverage, run ng test --code-coverage. The report will be generated in the /coverage directory. To view, open the index.html page in a browser.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve.
