PREREQUISITE: set up the holochain development environment.
Enter the nix shell by running this in the root folder of the repository:
nix-shell
npm install
Run all the other instructions in this README from inside this nix-shell, otherwise they won't work.
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.
npm test
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.
To package the web happ:
npm run package
You'll have the forum.webhapp
in workdir
. This is what you should distribute so that the Holochain Launcher can install it.
You will also have its subcomponent forum.happ
in the same folder`.
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.
