hashgraph/hedera-mirror-node-explorer

Visual Explorer for the Hiero DLT.

Project setup

npm install

Build

Compile and hot-reload for development

npm run dev

Compile and minify for production

npm run build

Lint files (find and fix problems)

npm run lint

Test

Run unit tests (based on Jest)

npm run test:unit

Run end-to-end tests (based on Cypress)

# Run the tests interactively
npm run test:e2e:dev 
# Or run the tests in headless browser mode
npm run test:e2e

Configuration

The configuration of the explorer is based on these 2 files, which need to be found at the root of the app in order for the Explorer to start:

• /public/core-config.json
• /public/networks-config.json

Details for these configuration files can be found in CONFIGURATION.md.

Run in Docker

# Build the Docker image locally
npm run docker:build

# Copy and adjust configuration of Hiero networks as needed
cp networks-config-http-example.json networks-config.json

# Start the Docker container
# (if not built locally, this will fetch a pre-built image from Google Container Registry)
npm run docker:start
open http://127.0.0.1:8080

# Stop the Docker container
npm run docker:stop

# then open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser

Run in Kubernetes

To run in Kubernetes the hiero-explorer Helm chart can be used. First, obtain access to a Kubernetes cluster running version 1.23 or greater. Minikube can be used for a local Kubernetes cluster.

helm upgrade --install hiero-explorer chart/

Configure custom networks

Core configuration and network configuration need to be provided to the Explorer in the values.yaml file (see CONFIGURATION.md for details on configuration parameters).

The network configuration needs to provide at least the description on one supported networks.

An example:

 config: |
  [
    {
      "name": "testnet",
      "displayName": "TESTNET",
      "url": "https://testnet.mirrornode.hedera.com/",
      "ledgerID": "01"
    }
  ]

Run local sourcify instance (for smart contract verification)

This set-up uses an nginx reverse proxy in front of the 3 sourcify services (ui, server, repository) in order to support HTTPS. The SSL set-up is based on a self-signed certificate obtained per the instructions at: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/

The design of the repository (itself based on an nginx reverse proxy) is such that it requires to be on a distinct host, so it cannot be accessed by localhost like ui and server. To this effect you need to define a hostname locally (see below)

# Define the domain repository.local` used by the repository
bash -c 'echo "127.0.0.1       repository.local" >> /etc/hosts'

# Start sourcify services
# in sourcify-setup directory do:
docker-compose up -d

# Invoke the server API once to make sure your browser accepts the self-signed certificate
open https://localhost/server/chains

# To open the sourcify UI
open https://localhost

# To open the sourcify repository UI
open https://repository.local

# Stop sourcify services
# in sourcify-setup directory do:
docker-compose down
