@polkadot/apps

A Portal into the Polkadot network. Provides a view and interaction layer from a browser.

This can be accessed as a hosted application via https://polkadot.js.org/apps/.

overview

The repo is split into a number of packages, each representing an application. These are -

• apps This is the main entry point. It handles the selection sidebar and routing to the specific application being displayed.
• app-accounts A basic account management app.
• app-addresses A basic address management app.
• app-explorer A simple block explorer. It only shows the most recent blocks, updating as they become available.
• app-extrinsics Submission of extrinsics to a node.
• app-rpc Sumission of raw data to RPC endpoints.
• app-storage A simple node storage query application. Multiple queries can be queued and updates as new values become available.
• app-toolbox Utilities to manage data.
• app-vanitygen A toy that allows you to generate vanity addresses. Running yarn run vanitygen --match <string> runs the generator as a Node CLI app. (Orders of a magnitude faster due to the use of libsoldium bindings)

In addition the following libraries are also included in the repo. These are to be moved to the @polkadot/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)

• ui-keyring A browser-specific wrapper around the base @polkadot/util-keyring libary.
• ui-app A reactive (using RxJS) application framework with a number of useful shared components.
