dfuse-eosio

dfuse for EOSIO

All dfuse.io services for EOSIO, running from your laptop or from a container, released as a single statically linked binary.

See the general dfuse repository for other blockchain protocols implementations.

Getting started

Prerequisites

If it's the first time you boot a nodeos node, please review https://developers.eos.io/welcome/latest/tutorials/bios-boot-sequence and make sure you get a grasp of what this blockchain node is capable.

You might want to have the eosio.cdt tools installed, as well as cleos (from EOSIO/eos) or eosc.

Install

Get a release from the Releases tab in GitHub. Install the binary in your PATH.

See INSTALL.md to install the dependencies (like an instrumented nodeos).

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/dfuse-io/dfuse-eosio
cd dfuse-eosio
go install -v ./cmd/dfuseeos

Usage

Initialize a new dfuse.yaml config file (answer 'y' for a quick start) with:

dfuseeos init

The created file will contain the private and public keys generated for the booted chain.

Boot your instance with:

dfuseeos start

If you answered 'y', this will boot a producer node, a reader node, both communicating together, boot all dfuse services and expose a dashboard and all the APIs.

A terminal prompt will list the graphical interfaces with their relevant links:

Dashboard: http://localhost:8080
GraphiQL: http://localhost:13019
Eosq: http://localhost:8081

The Dashboard is a diagnostic tool to monitor the status of each component of dfuse for EOSIO. It also provides a graph to visualize how far their head block has drifted from the current block.

To run the dashboard in dev mode:

cd dashboard/client
yarn install
yarn start

Head to the GraphiQL interface, and do a streaming search of what's happening on chain! All dfuse GraphQL queries are available here.

Eosq, our high precision block explorer is also integrated in box. Use it to test out search queries and view organized information such as accounts, transaction data, and inline actions. The built javascript folder is committed with the code for convenience. See eosq README for build instructions
