Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Hyperledger Fabric Client SDK for Node.js

Build Status Documentation Status

The Hyperledger Fabric Client SDK (HFC) provides a powerful and easy to use API to interact with a Hyperledger Fabric blockchain.

As an application developer, to learn about how to install and use the Node.js SDK, please visit the fabric documentation.

The following section targets a current or future contributor to this project itself. It describes the main object hierarchy, plus HFC's pluggability and extensibility design.

Build and Test

To build and test, the following pre-requisites must be installed first:

  • node runtime version 4.3 or later (which also installs the npm tool)
  • gulp command
  • docker (not required if you only want to run the headless tests with npm test, see below)

Clone the project and launch the following commands in the project root folder to install the dependencies and perform various tasks:

  • npm install to install all dependencies
  • gulp doc to generate API docs
  • npm test to run the headless tests that do not require any additional set up

The following tests require setting up a local blockchain network as the target. Because v1.0 is still in active development, you still need the vagrant environment to build the necessary Docker images needed to run the network. Follow the steps below to set it up.

  • cd fabric/devenv
  • Open the file Vagrantfile and insert the following statement below the existing config.vm.network statements:
    • config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 5151, host: 5151 # orderer service
  • run vagrant up to launch the vagrant VM
  • Once inside vagrant, cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric
  • run make images to build the docker images
  • copy docker-compose.yml file in home directory (/home/vagrant) and copy the following content into the file
  • run docker-compose up --force-recreate to launch the network
  • Back in your native host (MacOS, or Windows, or Ubuntu, etc), run the following tests:
    • Clear out your previous keyvalue store if needed (rm -fr /tmp/KeyValStore*)
    • Test user management with a member services, run node test/unit/ca-tests.js
    • Test happy path from end to end, run node test/unit/end-2-end.js
    • Test transaction proposals, run node test/unit/endorser-tests.js
    • Test sending endorsed transactions for consensus, run node test/unit/orderer-tests.js

Contributor Check-list

The following check-list is for code contributors to make sure their changesets are compliant to the coding standards and avoid time wasted in rejected changesets:

Check the coding styles, run the following command and make sure no ESLint violations are present:

  • gulp

Run the full unit test bucket:

  • node test/unit/headless-tests.js
  • node test/unit/ca-tests.js
  • node test/unit/end-2-end.js
  • node test/unit/endorser-tests.js
  • node test/unit/orderer-tests.js
  • node test/unit/orderer-member-tests.js

HFC objects and reference documentation

For a high-level design specificiation for Fabric SDKs of all languages, visit this google doc (Work-In-Progress).

HFC is written in CommonJS modules and is object-oriented. It's comprised of the following modules.

  • index.js is the top-level module that provides the main API surface into the HFC package. It's mainly a collection of convenient methods.
  • The main top-level class is Chain. It is the client's view of a blockchain network. HFC allows you to interact with multiple chains. Each chain object can be configured with a different member service or share a common member service, depending on how the target blockchain networks are set up. Each chain object has a KeyValueStore to store private keys and certificates for authenticated users. Each chain object can be configured with an ordering service, to which HFC connects to send transactions for consensus and committing to the ledger.
  • The KeyValueStore is a very simple interface which HFC uses to store and retrieve all persistent data. This data includes private keys, so it is very important to keep this storage secure. The default implementation is a simple file-based version found in the FileKeyValueStore class.
  • The MemberServices interface provides security and identity related features such as user registration and enrollment, transaction certificate issuance. The Hyperledger Fabric has a built-in implementation that issues ECerts (enrollment certificates) and TCerts (transaction certificates). ECerts are for enrollment identity and TCerts are for transactions.
  • The Member class represents an end user who transacts on the chain. From the Member class, you can register and enroll users. This class interacts with the MemberServices object. You can also deploy, query, and invoke chaincode from this class, which interact with the Peer objects.
  • The EventHub class encapsulates the interaction with the network peers' event streams.

Pluggability

HFC defines the following abstract classes for application developers to supply extensions or alternative implementations. For each abstract class, a built-in implementation is included with the ability to load alternative implementations via designated environment variables:

  1. To replace FileKeyValueStore with a different implementation, such as one that saves data to a database, specify "KEY_VALUE_STORE" and provide the full require() path to an alternative implementation of the api.KeyValueStore abstract class.

  2. The cryptography suite used by the default implementation uses ECDSA for asymmetric keys cryptography, AES for encryption and SHA2/3 for secure hashes. A different suite can be plugged in with "CRYPTO_SUITE" environment variable specifying full require() path to the alternative implementation of the api.CrytoSuite abstract class.

  3. If the user application uses an alternative membership service than the one provided by Hyperledger Fabric, the client code will likely need to use an alternative client to interact with the membership service. Use the "MEMBER_SERVICE" environment variable to specify a full require() path to the alternative implementation.
