planet-node

planet-node is a .NET CLI application as example for Libplanet. This application was developed as an example of blockchain node configuration using Libplanet, and is not suitable for production environment operation.

Prerequisites

You need to install .NET SDK 6+. Read and follow the instruction to install .NET SDK on the .NET download page.

Build

$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ dotnet build

TODO: Docker build

How to Run

$ dotnet run --project PlanetNode

About configuration

Currently, planet-node produces and uses storage and settings via appsettings.json and PN_ prefixed environment variables. if you want to change settings, please edit that files or set environment variables.

$ PN_StorePath="/tmp/planet-node" dotnet run --project PlanetNode

GraphQL

planet-node runs GraphQL server and GraphQL Playground automatically. (backed by GraphQL.NET) you can check the current chain status on playground. (default endpoint is http://localhost:38080/ui/playground)

The following query is a GraphQL query that returns the last 10 blocks and transactions.

query
{
  explorer
  {
    blockQuery
    {
      blocks (limit: 10 desc: true)
      {
        index
        hash
        timestamp

        transactions
        {
          id
          actions
          {
            inspection
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
