eIquidus - 1.0.0
================

The Exor block explorer.

This project is a fork of [Ciquidus Explorer](https://github.com/suprnurd/ciquidus) which is a fork of [Iquidus Explorer](https://github.com/iquidus/explorer). Shoutouts to both Luke Williams for the original code and Alan Rudolf for all the additional bonus featues which saved me tons of time! I'm only standing on the shoulders of giants. Thank you both!!!

### See it in action

- https://explorer.exor.io/

### Requires

- node.js >= 10.15.3
- mongodb >= 4.0.9
- *coind

### Create database

Enter MongoDB cli:

$ mongo

Create database:

> use explorerdb

Create user with read/write access:

> db.createUser( { user: "eiquidus", pwd: "Nd^p2d77ceBX!L", roles: [ "readWrite" ] } )

### Get the source

git clone https://github.com/team-exor/eiquidus explorer

### Install node modules

cd explorer && npm install --production

### Configure

cp ./settings.json.template ./settings.json

*Make required changes in settings.json*

### Start Explorer

npm start

**NOTE:** mongod must be running to start the explorer

The explorer defaults to cluster mode, forking an instance of its process to each cpu core. This results in increased performance and stability. Load balancing gets automatically taken care of and any instances that for some reason die, will be restarted automatically. For testing/development (or if you just wish to) a single instance can be launched with

node --stack-size=10000 bin/instance

To stop the cluster you can use

npm stop

### Syncing databases with the blockchain

sync.js (located in scripts/) is used for updating the local databases. This script must be called from the explorers root directory.

Usage: node scripts/sync.js [database] [mode]

database: (required)
index [mode] Main index: coin info/stats, transactions & addresses
market Market data: summaries, orderbooks, trade history & chartdata

mode: (required for index database only)
update Updates index from last sync to current block
check checks index for (and adds) any missing transactions/addresses
reindex Clears index then resyncs from genesis to current block

notes:
* 'current block' is the latest created block when script is executed.
* The market database only supports (& defaults to) reindex mode.
* If check mode finds missing data(ignoring new data since last sync),
index_timeout in settings.json is set too low.

*It is recommended to have this script launched via a cronjob at 1+ min intervals.*

**crontab**

*Example crontab; update index every minute and market data every 2 minutes*

*/1 * * * * /path/to/explorer/scripts/index.sh /path/to/nodejs > /dev/null 2>&1
*/2 * * * * cd /path/to/explorer && /path/to/nodejs scripts/sync.js market > /dev/null 2>&1
*/5 * * * * cd /path/to/explorer && /path/to/nodejs scripts/peers.js > /dev/null 2>&1

### Wallet

The wallet connected to eIquidus must be running with the following flags:

-daemon -txindex

You may either call your coins daemon using this syntax:

```
coind -daemon -txindex
```

or else you can add the settings to your coins config file (recommended):

```
daemon=1
txindex=1
```

### CORS support

eIquidus has basic CORS support which is useful for taking advantage of the block explorer api in your other web projects.

#### What is CORS?

*CORS description taken from [MaxCDN One](https://www.maxcdn.com/one/visual-glossary/cors/)*

>To prevent websites from tampering with each other, web browsers implement a security measure known as the same-origin policy. The same-origin policy lets resources (such as JavaScript) interact with resources from the same domain, but not with resources from a different domain. This provides security for the user by preventing abuse, such as running a script that reads the password field on a secure website.
>In cases where cross-domain scripting is desired, CORS allows web developers to work around the same-origin policy. CORS adds HTTP headers which instruct web browsers on how to use and manage cross-domain content. The browser then allows or denies access to the content based on its security configuration.
#### How to benefit from using CORS?

You must first set up CORS in eIquidus by editing the settings.json file and setting the value for `usecors` to true.

```
"usecors": true,
```

The `corsorigin` setting defaults to "\*" which allows all requests from any origin. Keeping this setting at "\*" can lead to abuse and is not recommended. Therefore, you should change the `corsorigin` setting to an external origin that you control, as seen in the following example:

```
"corsorigin": "http://example.com",
```

The above example would allow sharing of resources from eIquidus for all data requests coming from the example.com domain while all requests coming from any other domain would be rejected as per normal.

Below is an example of a simple javascript call using [jQuery](https://jquery.com) that could be used on your example.com website to return the current block count from eIquidus:

```
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://your-eiquidus-url/api/getblockcount",
cache: false
}).done(function (data) {
alert(data);
});
});
```

### Backup/Restore Database Scripts

A pair of scripts to backup or restore the internal mongo database are included. There are a few different usage options:

**Backup Database (No filename specified)**

`sh create_backup.sh`: Backs up to the explorer/backups directory by default with the current date as the filename in the format yyyy-MMM-dd.tar.gz

**Backup Database (Partial filename specified)**

`sh create_backup.sh test`: Backs up the the explorer/backups directory by default with the filename test.tar.gz

**Backup Database (Full filename specified)**

`sh create_backup.sh today.tar.gz`: Backs up the the explorer/backups directory by default with the filename today.tar.gz

**Backup Database (Full path with partial filename specified)**

`sh create_backup.sh /usr/local/bin/abc`: Backs up the the /usr/local/bin directory with the filename abc.tar.gz

**Backup Database (Full path and filename specified)**

`sh create_backup.sh ~/new.tar.gz`: Backs up the the users home directory with the filename new.tar.gz

**Restore Database (Partial filename specified)**

`sh restore_backup.sh old`: Restores the explorer/scripts/backups/old.tar.gz file

**Restore Database (Full filename specified)**

`sh restore_backup.sh working.tar.gz`: Restores the explorer/scripts/backups/working.tar.gz file

**Restore Database (Full path with partial filename specified)**

`sh restore_backup.sh /home/explorer/backup`: Restores the /home/explorer/backup.tar.gz file

**Restore Database (Full path and filename specified)**

`sh restore_backup.sh ~/archive.tar.gz`: Restores the ~/archive.tar.gz file

### Known Issues

**exceeding stack size**

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Nodes default stack size may be too small to index addresses with many tx's. If you experience the above error while running sync.js the stack size needs to be increased.

To determine the default setting run

node --v8-options | grep -B0 -A1 stack_size

To run sync.js with a larger stack size launch with

node --stack-size=[SIZE] scripts/sync.js index update

Where [SIZE] is an integer higher than the default.

*note: SIZE will depend on which blockchain you are using, you may need to play around a bit to find an optimal setting*
