React Blockchain Address Search w Live Socket Updates
Quick Setup
- Run npm install & npm start.
- Open the app on localhost:3000
- (optional) to run in ngrok copy and paste url from console
App runs on Node and express. Npm run will run a custom script to build the app, and open a server on public/build. On terminal you will see Gulp compiling the app. Once it's finished you will see the server in which the app is running. Go to localhost:3000 or copy and paster the ngrok address from console.
Using the App
Very simple, just put a blockchain address, and hit send. You will get transaction data (10), and automatically connect to blockchain's websocket to receive any new incoming transaction.
Code Walkthrough
I'm very new to React, but wanted to take the time to build something nice. Although it's a small app, created all components in a structure that I consider to be extensible, and that made the most sense to me. I also added an apiManager service to separate concerns a bit. Calls to blockchain's API are made from within the nodejs server since getting transactions is not allowed via CORS.
There are 4 components in the react app.
(Main App) requires (Address Search) requires (Address Form & Address Transaction List)
Thanks for reviewing.
