# @polkadot/apps
|
|
|
|
A Portal into the Polkadot and Substrate networks. Provides a view and interaction layer from a browser.
|
|
|
|
This can be accessed as a hosted application via [https://polkadot.js.org/apps/](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/) or you can access the [IPFS hosted version](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/ipfs) to explore any of the supported Polkadot and Substrate chains
|
|
|
|
**Important** If you are a chain developer and would like to add support for your chain to the UI, all the local configuration (API types, settings, logos) can be customized in [the apps-config package](packages/apps-config#README.md), complete with instructions of what goes where.
|
|
|
|
## overview
|
|
|
|
The repo is split into a number of packages, each representing an application. These are -
|
|
|
|
- [apps](packages/apps/) This is the main entry point. It handles the selection sidebar and routing to the specific application being displayed.
|
|
- [apps-electron](packages/apps-electron/) Desktop app running [apps](packages/apps/).
|
|
- [page-accounts](packages/page-accounts/) A basic account management app.
|
|
- [page-address-book](packages/page-address-book/) A basic address management app.
|
|
- [page-democracy](packages/page-democracy/) A basic voting app, allowing votes on activate proposals and referenda.
|
|
- [page-explorer](packages/page-explorer/) A simple block explorer. It only shows the most recent blocks, updating as they become available.
|
|
- [page-extrinsics](packages/page-extrinsics/) Submission of extrinsics to a node.
|
|
- [page-js](packages/page-js/) An online code editor with [@polkadot-js/api](https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/tree/master/packages/api) access to the currently connected node.
|
|
- [page-settings](packages/page-settings/) A basic settings management app, allowing choice of language, node to connect to, and theme
|
|
- [page-staking](packages/page-staking/) A basic staking management app, allowing staking and nominations.
|
|
- [page-storage](packages/page-storage/) A simple node storage query application. Multiple queries can be queued and updates as new values become available.
|
|
- [page-toolbox](packages/page-toolbox/) Submission of raw data to RPC endpoints and utility hashing functions.
|
|
- [page-transfer](packages/page-transfer/) A basic account management app, allowing transfer of Units/DOTs between accounts.
|
|
|
|
In addition the following libraries are also included in the repo. These are to be moved to the [@polkadot/ui](https://github.com/polkadot-js/ui/) repository once it reaches a base level of stability and usability. (At this point with the framework being tested on the apps above, it makes development easier having it close)
|
|
|
|
- [react-components](packages/react-components/) A reactive (using RxJS) application framework with a number of useful shared components.
|
|
- [react-signer](packages/react-signer/) Signer implementation for apps.
|
|
- [react-query](packages/react-query) Base components that use the RxJS Observable APIs
|
|
|
|
## development
|
|
|
|
Contributions are welcome!
|
|
|
|
To start off, this repo (along with others in the [@polkadot](https://github.com/polkadot-js/) family) uses yarn workspaces to organize the code. As such, after cloning dependencies _should_ be installed via `yarn`, not via npm, the latter will result in broken dependencies.
|
|
|
|
To get started -
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repo locally, via `git clone https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps <optional local path>`
|
|
2. Ensure that you have a recent LTS version of Node.js, for development purposes [Node >=10.13.0](https://nodejs.org/en/) is recommended.
|
|
3. Ensure that you have a recent version of Yarn, for development purposes [Yarn >=1.10.1](https://yarnpkg.com/docs/install) is required.
|
|
4. Install the dependencies by running `yarn`
|
|
5. Ready! Now you can launch the UI (assuming you have a local Polkadot Node running), via `yarn run start`
|
|
6. Access the UI via [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
|
|
|
|
## I want to code around
|
|
|
|
There is a base template available [page-123code](packages/page-123code/) that acts as a simple starting point for adding additional apps to the UI. Alternatively if you just want some place where you can write some code, it does the trick.
|
|
|
|
While it is hidden from the sidebar, it is accessible via [http://127.0.0.1:3000/#/123code](http://127.0.0.1:3000/#/123code)
|
|
|
|
Be sure to follow the [page-123code/README.md](packages/page-123code/README.md) instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
You can run a docker container via -
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm -it --name polkadot-ui -e WS_URL=ws://someip:9944 -p 80:80 chevdor/polkadot-ui:latest
|
|
|
|
To build a docker container containing local changes -
|
|
|
|
docker build -t chevdor/polkadot-ui .
|
|
|
|
When using these Docker commands, you can access the UI via http://localhost:80 (or just http://localhost)
