Tables

Holochain hApp for collaborative data tables.

Real-time colloaboration delivered by syn.

Environment Setup

PREREQUISITE: set up the holochain development environment.

Outside of nix shell you will need rust installed:

https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install or https://rustup.rs/

Enter the nix shell by running this in the root folder of the repository:

nix develop
npm install

Run all the other instructions in this README from inside this nix-shell, otherwise they won't work.

Running 2 agents

npm start

This will create a network of 2 nodes connected to each other and their respective UIs. It will also bring up the Holochain Playground for advanced introspection of the conductors.

Running solo dev environment

npm run dev

This will not launch a UI, you will have to open a browser window and navigate to the Local address provided by VITE. It can take a moment for the UI to come up after visiting the URL, let it load.

Running the backend tests

npm test

Bootstrapping a network

Create a custom network of nodes connected to each other and their respective UIs with:

AGENTS=3 npm run network

Substitute the "3" for the number of nodes that you want to bootstrap in your network. This will also bring up the Holochain Playground for advanced introspection of the conductors.

Packaging

To package the web happ:

npm run package

You'll have the tables.webhapp in workdir. This is what you should distribute so that the Holochain Launcher can install it. You will also have its subcomponent tables.happ in the same folder`.

Documentation

This repository is using these tools:

• NPM Workspaces: npm v7's built-in monorepo capabilities.
• hc: Holochain CLI to easily manage Holochain development instances.
• @holochain/tryorama: test framework.
• @holochain/client: client library to connect to Holochain from the UI.
• @holochain-playground/cli: introspection tooling to understand what's going on in the Holochain nodes.
