Reusable Module Template

This repository is meant to be a scaffolding starting point to build reusable holochain modules (zome & UI module).

This is what is has included:

  • UI and Zome Instructions to use the module in a bigger app
  • Github Actions automatic integration with building and testing
  • Zome
    • Basic sample code
    • Integrated tests with tryorama
    • Instructions to include the zome as a crate in any DNA
  • UI
    • Reusable CustomElements with lit-element
    • Automated demoing with storybook, also publishing to gh-pages
    • Automated testing with web-test-runner
    • Automated end-to-end testing with the holochain zome
    • GraphQl common libraries and scaffold code
    • See open-wc for all the available tools and documentation

How to scaffold a holochain reusable module

  1. Create a new repository from this template (you can use the Use this template button on the top of this page).
  2. Look for all the TODO keyword to see the places that need to be changed. (NOTE: replacing it inside the files can easily be done with your IDE, and for renaming files & directories you can use this bash one-liner: new_name=YOUR_NEW_NAME_HERE find . -name "*todo_rename*" | while read line ; do mv $line $(echo $line | sed 's/todo_rename/$new_name/g') ; done)
  3. Remove this section of this README.md until this next line.

TODO_RENAME_MODULE

TODO: carefully change whatever needed in this README.

Small zome to create and see calendar events, in holochain RSM.

This module is designed to be included in other DNAs, assuming as little as possible from those. It is packaged as a holochain zome, and an npm package that offers native Web Components that can be used across browsers and frameworks.

Documentation

See our storybook.

Assumptions

These are the things you need to know to decide if you can use this module in your happ:

  • Zome:
  • UI module:
    • ApolloClient as the state-management and data-fetching engine.
    • The resolvers are declared in the frontend using makeExecutableSchema.
    • No framework or library assumed.

Installation and usage

Including the zome in your DNA

  1. Create a new folder in the zomes of the consuming DNA, with the name you want to give to this zome in your DNA.
  2. Add a new Cargo.toml in that folder. In its content, paste the Cargo.toml content from any zome.
  3. Change the name properties of the Cargo.toml file to the name you want to give to this zome in your DNA.
  4. Add this zome as a dependency in the Cargo.toml file:
[dependencies]
todo_rename_zome = {git = "TODO_CHANGE_MODULE_URL", package = "todo_rename_zome"}
  1. Create a src folder besides the Cargo.toml with this content:
extern crate todo_rename_zome;
  1. If you haven't yet, in the top level Cargo.toml file of your DNA, add this to specify which version of holochain you want to target:
hc_utils = {git = "https://github.com/guillemcordoba/hc-utils", branch = "develop", package = "hc_utils"}
hdk3 = {git = "https://github.com/holochain/holochain", rev = "7037aa2ccfb1ad9a8ece98eb379686f605dc1a0c", package = "hdk3"}
holo_hash = {git = "https://github.com/holochain/holochain", rev = "7037aa2ccfb1ad9a8ece98eb379686f605dc1a0c", package = "holo_hash"}
  1. Add the zome into your *.dna.workdir/dna.json file.
  2. Compile the DNA with the usual CARGO_TARGET_DIR=target cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown.

Using the UI module

  1. Install the module with npm install @holochain-open-dev/calendar-events.

OR

Add it in your package.json with a reference to holochain-open-dev/TODO_RENAME_MODULE_REPOSITORY#ui-build

  1. Add the GraphQl schema and resolvers to your ApolloClient setup:
import { AppWebsocket } from "@holochain/conductor-api";
import {
  calendarEventsTypeDefs,
  calendarEventsResolvers,
} from "@holochain-open-dev/calendar-events";

export async function setupClient(url) {
  const appWebsocket = await AppWebsocket.connect(String(url));

  const appInfo = await appWebsocket.appInfo({ app_id: "test-app" });

  const cellId = appInfo.cell_data[0][0];

  const executableSchema = makeExecutableSchema({
    typeDefs: [rootTypeDef, calendarEventsTypeDefs],
    resolvers: [calendarEventsResolvers(appWebsocket, cellId)],
  });

  const schemaLink = new SchemaLink({ schema: executableSchema });

  return new ApolloClient({
    typeDefs: allTypeDefs,
    cache: new InMemoryCache(),
    link: schemaLink,
  });
}
  1. In the root file of your application, install the module:
import { CalendarEventsModule } from "@holochain-open-dev/calendar-events";
async function initApp() {
  const client = await setupClient(`ws://localhost:8888`);

  const calendarEventsModule = new CalendarEventsModule(client);

  await calendarEventsModule.install();
}
  1. If you haven't yet, add the icons and font for material elements in your <head>:
<head>
  <link
    href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500"
    rel="stylesheet"
  />
  <link
    href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Material+Icons&display=block"
    rel="stylesheet"
  />
</head>
  1. Once you have installed the module, all the elements you see in our storybook will become available for you to use in your HTML, like this:
...
<body>
  <hod-cal-full-calendar></hod-cal-full-calendar>
</body>

Take into account that at this point the elements already expect a holochain conductor running at ws://localhost:8888.

Developer setup

This respository is structured in the following way:

  • ui/: UI library.
  • zome/: example DNA with the todo_rename_zome code.
  • Top level Cargo.toml is a virtual package necessary for other DNAs to include this zome by pointing to this git repository.

Read the UI developer setup and the Zome developer setup.
