Golos.io

Golos.io is the react.js web interface to the world’s first and best blockchain-based social media platform. It uses STEEM/Golos, a fork of Steem/Steemit blockchain powered by Graphene 2.0 technology to store JSON-based content for a plethora of web applications.

Why would I want to use Golos.io?

Learning how to build blockchain-based web applications using STEEM/Golos as a content storage mechanism in react.js
Reviewing the inner workings of the golos.io social media platform
Assisting with software development for golos.io

Installation

Clone the repository and make a tmp folder

git clone https://github.com/GolosChain/tolstoy
cd tolstoy
mkdir tmp

Install dependencies

# Install at least Node v6.3 if you don't already have it ([NVM](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) recommended)
sudo nvm install v6

npm install
sudo npm install -g babel-cli

Create config file

cd config
cp example/client-example.js client_config.js
cp example/golos-example.json golos-dev.json
cp example/golos-example.json golos.json

Generate a new crypto_key and save under server_session_secret in ./golos-dev.json.

node
> crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64')

(note: it’s golos.json in production)

Install mysql server

OS X :

brew update
brew doctor
brew upgrade
brew install mysql
mysql.server restart

Debian based Linux:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

On Ubuntu 16.04+ you may be unable to connect to mysql without root access, if so update the mysql root user as follows::

mysql -u root
> DROP USER 'root'@'localhost';
> CREATE USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now launch mysql client and create golos_dev database:

mysql -u root
> create database golos_dev;

Install sequelize-cli globally:

sudo npm install -g sequelize sequelize-cli mysql

Run sequelize db:migrate in db/ directory.

Development

npm start

You now have your development front end running at localhost:3002, connected to the main public golos blockchain. You don’t need to run golos locally, by default you will connect to wss://ws.golos.io. Use your regular account name and credentials to login – there is no separate dev login.

Style Guides

File naming and location

Prefer CamelCase js and jsx file names
Prefer lower case one word directory names
Keep stylesheet files close to components
Component’s stylesheet file name should match component name

Js & Jsx

We are using Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide with some modifications (see .eslintrc). Please run eslint in the working directory before committing your changes and make sure you didn’t introduce any new styling issues.

CSS & SCSS

If component requires a css rule, please use its uppercase name for the class, e.g. “Header” class for the header’s root div. We adhere to BEM methodology with exception for Foundation classes, here is an example for the Header component:

<!-- Block -->
<ul class="Header">
  ...
  <!-- Element -->
  <li class="Header__menu-item">Menu Item 1</li>
  <!-- Element with modifier -->
  <li class="Header__menu-item--selected">Element with modifier</li>
</ul>

Production

If you want to test it locally in production mode, just run the following commands:

npm run build
npm run prod

or via pm2:

npm run build
sudo npm install -g pm2 # one time
cp example/process-example.json process.json
pm2 start config/process.json

Issues

To report a non-critical issue, please file an issue on this GitHub project.

If you find a security issue please report details to: https://github.com/GolosChain/tolstoy/issues

We will evaluate the risk and make a patch available before filing the issue.

API Reference

Introduction

Welcome to the Golos API and developer wiki portal! Golos is the social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content.

The following API documents provide details on how to interact with the Golos blockchain database API which can get information on accounts, content, blocks and much more!

The developer portal will also serve as a toolbox for Golos clients, libraries, and language wrappers.

The developer portal is currently in early release. Our developer portal docs are open source and Golos developers are encouraged to contribute as this becomes the ultimate developer resource for Golos.io.

Please visit developers.golos.io
