zetachain

Note: Zetachain is in beta, more updates will be performed regularly and will be released in the coming weeks.

zetachain is an open-source zetacoin blockchain explorer with complete REST and websocket APIs. Insight runs in NodeJS, uses AngularJS for the front-end and LevelDB for storage.

Insight project is now splitted in two repositories. One for the API and for the front-end. This repository is for the front-end, which will install the API as a NPM dependency.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v0.10.x - Download and Install Node.js.

• NPM - Node.js package manager, should be automatically installed when you get node.js.

Quick Install

Check the Prerequisites section above before installing.

To install Insight, clone the main repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/zbad405/zetachain.git && cd zetachain

Install dependencies:

$ npm install

Run the main application:

$ npm start

Then open a browser and go to:

http://localhost:3001

If zetachain reports problems connecting to zetacoind please check the CONFIGURATION section of zetachain-api README. To set the environment variables run something like:

 $ INSIGHT_NETWORK=livenet BITCOIND_USER=user BITCOIND_PASS=pass INSIGHT_PUBLIC_PATH=public  npm start

Please note that the app will need to sync its internal database with the blockchain state, which may take some time. You can check sync progress from within the web interface. More details about that process on zetachain-api README.

Nginx Setup

To use Nginx as a reverse proxy for Insight, use the following base configuration

Development

To run zetachain locally for development mode:

Install bower dependencies:

$ bower install

To compile and minify the web application's assets:

$ grunt compile

There is a convinent Gruntfile.js for automation during editing the code

$ grunt

In case you are developing zetachain and zetachain-api together, you can do the following:

• Install zetachain and zetachain-api on the same path ($IROOT)

  $ cd $IROOT/insight
  $ grunt

in other terminal:

  $ cd $IROOT/insight-api
  $ ln -s ../insight/public
  $ INSIGHT_PUBLIC_PATH=public node insight.js

INSIGHT_PUBLIC_PATH=insight/public grunt at insight-api's home path (edit the path according your setup).

also in the insight-api path. (So you will have to grunt process running, one for insight and one for insight-api).

Note

For more details about the zetachain API configs and end-point, just go to zetachain API github repository or read the documentation
