A Tari block explorer API

Tari Blockchain Explorer API

Development

The Express API requires a Redis and Tari base node instance.

cp .env.sample .env
# Change GRPC_URL from tari:18142 to localhost:18142.
# Change REDIS_URL from redis://redis:6379 to redis://localhost:6379.
cp .env.docker.frontend.sample .env.docker.frontend
docker-compose up -d redis
docker-compose up -d tari
npm install
npm run dev
# Use `NO_CRON=1 npm run dev` to stop the cronjobs from running.

Notes: If you already have an existing setup and need to clear out the data (for instance due to a network change) you need to do the following:

docker stop blockchain-explorer-api_tari_1
cd _data
rm -rf tari
docker exec -it blockchain-explorer-api_redis_1 redis-cli FLUSHALL
docker stop blockchain-explorer-api_redis_1
rm -rf redis

If you are testing new code for the base node against the blockchain explorer locally, you can build the tari image dependency with the following (from the root of the tari repository):

cd buildtools
docker build  -t quay.io/tarilabs/tari_base_node:latest -f base_node.Dockerfile ..

Deployment

Set your env's for the frontend in .env.docker.frontend REACT_APP_EXPLORER_API_URL=https://explorer.example.com

docker-compose up -d
