the meetup.com clone for a user groups consortium blockchain

Gather

Development

Gather is built using Substrate (Rust), for the UI we are using React and Material-UI.

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/gnunicorn/gather
cd gather

Backend / Blockchain / Substrate

To install the Substrate Development environment follow the official guide for a full install. On Linux and Mac this boils down to running:

curl https://getsubstrate.io -sSf | bash -s -- --fast

Then you can compile and run the local development client with:

cargo run -- --dev

Frontend / React

You need Node.js and the yarn package manager.

The frontend lives in /app. To run the dev server for the UI, just cd into that directory and run:

yarn start

This will open the browser showing the JS app locally, connecting to the local blockchain node via an unsecure websocket. It automatically reloads the UI on changes in /app/src.

To start the UI connecting to a remote server, put the address in the enviornment variable $REACT_APP_WS_TARGET when starting the server, e.g.:

REACT_APP_WS_TARGET="ws://otherhost.tld:9944" yarn start
