Tail Database Electron Application using DataLayer

Primary LanguageTypeScript

Tail Database

This is a web3 app which connects to a Tail Database data store in DataLayer running on the Chia blockchain.

How to run

The quickest way to run the app is to execute the following command.

npm run electron:dev

How data is retrieved from DataLayer

The application is configured to use Context Isolation with a Context Bridge to facilitate communication between the UI (Main world) and Node processes running in the back-end. This allows the UI to trigger RPC calls to a locally running full node securely without being able to access Electron internals.

The DataLayer RPC provided by the full node is used for creating, updating, and deleting data from DataLayer.

Todo

The following needs to be implemented:

  • UI should display discord/website/twitter URL
  • Production build artifact for running in non-dev mode
