Manual

1. Frontend

On the commandline navigate into the directory ./frontend and run

env GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js go build -ldflags "-s -w" -trimpath -o ../static/main.wasm

to compile the frontend code into wasm.

2. Static files

Make a copy of the wasm_exec.js file from $GOROOT/misc/wasm/ directory and put it in the ./static directory. This must be from the same golang version that you used to build main.wasm.

Get back to the root path and run yarn to install and compile the required style assets.

If you want to renew the styles, run yarn gulp, or in case you wanna watch for changes, yarn gulp sass:watch.

There's also a gulp task for watching .go files changes in ./frontend files and regenerating the main.wasm file: yarn gulp go:watch.

You can watch both .go and .scss file changes by just using

yarn gulp watch

4. Backend

After steps 1, and 2, navigate back into vocexplorer and run

go run main.go

Then in your favorite web browser navigate to localhost at the specified port.

Options for main.go:

• --dataDir (string) directory where data is stored (default "/Users/natewilliams/.vocexplorer")
• --refreshTime (int) number of seconds between each content refresh (default 10)
• --gatewayUrl (string) vocdoni node URL to query for data
• --disableGzip use to disable gzip compression on web server
• --hostURL (string) url to host block explorer (default "http://localhost:8081")
• --logLevel (string) log level <debug, info, warn, error> (default "error")
