## Setup
```shell script
cd concordia
yarn
```
You can find detailed instructions on how to get started with each service in the respective package directories. The
overall setup pipeline **for development** is this though:
## Compile contracts
```shell script
cd packages/concordia-contracts
yarn compile
```
## Run app
```shell script
cd packages/concordia-app
yarn start
```
## Build app
```shell script
cd packages/concordia-app
yarn build
```
- start rendezvous server and ganache
- migrate contracts
- start application
## Using Docker images

Concordia uses a distributed database to store forum data. A rendezvous server is needed in order for users to discover
peers in the network and get access to the data.
### Contracts Provider
Contracts provider is a **very** simple resource provider server that handles saving the contract artifacts produced
during contracts migration and serving them to the users (and pinner).
### Pinner
Pinner is a bot node of the network that pins all IPFS content, so the forum data may be available even if the users
that create it are not.

# Concordia
The Concordia application is a React app that handles interactions with the contracts and the distributed database used.
This document provides information about the Concordia React Application and how to get it running for development.
## Prerequisites
Concordia requires at the minimum two services to work, a blockchain and a rendezvous server.
Furthermore, the deployed contract artifacts must be made available. This can be done in two ways, migrate the contracts
and make sure the artifacts are present in the `concordia/packages/concordia-contracts/build` directory, or migrate the
contracts and upload the artifacts to a contracts-provider instance.
## Running Concordia
To start the application in development mode simply execute the `start` script:
```shell
yarn start
```
The application makes use of the environment variables described below.
| Environment variable | Default value | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| REACT_APP_CONCORDIA_HOST | `127.0.0.1` | Set the hostname of the concordia application |

| REACT_APP_CONTRACTS_VERSION_HASH | `latest` | Set the contracts tag that will be pulled |
**Attention**: if using a contracts provider, make sure that the provider is set to allow CORS from the host-port combo
defined by `REACT_APP_CONCORDIA_HOST` and `REACT_APP_CONCORDIA_PORT`.

# Concordia Contracts
In this package live the contracts that power Concordia.
This document provides information about how to build and migrate the contracts.
## Prerequisites
To migrate the contracts, the targeted blockchain must be up and running. Furthermore, if uploading to a contracts
provider, the provider must be available.
## Compiling
To compile the contracts execute the `compile` script:
```shell
yarn compile
```
## Linting
To lint the contracts execute the `lint` script:
```shell
yarn lint
```
## Testing
Default host and port values of the blockchain used for testing are:
| host | port |
|---|---|
| 127.0.0.1 | 8546 |
Test using the default network:
```shell script
yarn test
```
### Using different host and port values for testing blockchain
Define the host and port of the blockchain using environment variables (see below). Test using the `env` network:
```shell script
yarn test --network env
```
## Migrating
Default host and port values of the blockchain are:
| host | port |
|---|---|
| 127.0.0.1 | 8545 |
Migrate (using the development network by default):
```shell script
yarn migrate
```
### Setting different host and port values
Define the host and port of the blockchain using environment variables (see below). Migrate using the `env` network:
```shell script
yarn _migrate --network env
```
**Notice the underscore `_` prefix in the script name. This is not a mistake.**
## Uploading
Default hash and tag values used during contracts upload:
| hash | tag |
|---|---|
| <npm_package_version>-dev | latest |
To upload the contracts to a contracts provider instance execute the `upload` script:
```shell
yarn upload
```
### Setting different hash and tag values
Pass the hash and tag of the contracts during script call:
```shell script
yarn _upload <hash> <tag>
```
**Notice the underscore `_` prefix in the script name. This is not a mistake.**
## Environment Variables
The environment variables used are described below.
| Environment variable | Default value | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| WEB3_HOST | `127.0.0.1` | Set the hostname of the blockchain |
| WEB3_PORT | `8545` | Set the port of the blockchain |
| CONTRACTS_PROVIDER_HOST | `http://127.0.0.1` | Set the hostname of the contracts provider |
| CONTRACTS_PROVIDER_PORT | `8400` | Set the port of the contracts provider |

### Setting different host and port values
Define the host and port of the blockchain in use.
Linux:
```shell script
export CHAIN_HOST="127.0.0.1"
export CHAIN_PORT="7545"
```
Windows:
```shell script
SET CHAIN_HOST="127.0.0.1"
SET CHAIN_PORT="7545"
```
Migrate using the `env` network :
```shell script
yarn _migrate --network env
```
**Notice the underscore `_` suffix in the script name. This is not a mistake.**
## Test contracts
Default host and port values of the blockchain are:
| host | port |
|---|---|
| 127.0.0.1 | 8546 |
Test:
```shell script
yarn test
```
### Setting different host and port values
Define the host and port of the blockchain in use like above.
Test:
```shell script
yarn test --network env
```
