The app is a React app built with [Gatsby.js](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) + TypeScript + CSS modules and will connect to Ocean components in Rinkeby by default.
If you prefer to connect to locally running components instead of remote connections, you can spin up [`barge`](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/barge) and use a local Ganache network in another terminal before running `npm start`:
Barge will deploy contracts to the local Ganache node which will take some time. At the end the compiled artifacts need to be copied over to this project into `node_modules/@oceanprotocol/contracts/artifacts`. This script will do that for you:
To use the app together with MetaMask, importing one of the accounts auto-generated by the Ganache container is the easiest way to have test ETH available. All of them have 100 ETH by default. Upon start, the `ocean_ganache_1` container will print out the private keys of multiple accounts in its logs. Pick one of them and import into MetaMask.
To fully test all [The Graph](https://thegraph.com) integrations, you have to run your own local Graph node with our [`ocean-subgraph`](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/ocean-subgraph) deployed to it. Barge does not include a local subgraph so by default, the `config.subgraphUri` is hardcoded to the Rinkeby subgraph in our [`NetworkMonitor` component](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/market/blob/main/src/helpers/NetworkMonitor.tsx).
> Cleaning all Docker images so they are fetched freshly is often a good idea to make sure no issues are caused by old or stale images: `docker system prune --all --volumes`
The `app.config.js` file is setup to prioritize environment variables for setting each Ocean component endpoint. By setting environment variables, you can easily switch between Ocean networks the app connects to, without directly modifying `app.config.js`.
All displayed data in the app is presented around the concept of one data set, which is a combination of:
- metadata about a data set
- the actual data set files
- the datatoken which represents the data set
- financial data connected to this datatoken, either a pool or a fixed rate exchange contract
- calculations and conversions based on financial data
- metadata about publishers
All this data then comes from multiple sources:
### Aquarius
All initial data sets and their metadata (DDO) is retrieved client-side on run-time from the [Aquarius](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/aquarius) instance for each network. All app calls to Aquarius are done with 2 internal methods which mimic the same methods in ocean.js, but allow us:
- to cancel requests when components get unmounted in combination with [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios)
- hit Aquarius as early as possible without relying on any ocean.js initialization
Aquarius runs Elasticsearch under the hood so its stored metadata can be queried with [Elasticsearch queries](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/full-text-queries.html) like so:
```tsx
import { QueryResult } from '@oceanprotocol/lib/dist/node/metadatacache/MetadataCache'
import { queryMetadata } from '../../utils/aquarius'
For components within a single data set view the `useAsset()` hook can be used, which in the background gets the respective metadata from Aquarius.
```tsx
import { useAsset } from '../../../providers/Asset'
function Component() {
const { ddo } = useAsset()
return <div>{ddo}</div>
}
```
### Ocean Protocol Subgraph
Most financial data in the market is retrieved with GraphQL from [our own subgraph](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/ocean-subgraph), rendered on top of the initial data coming from Aquarius.
The app has [Apollo Client](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/) setup to query the respective subgraph based on network. In any component this client can be used like so:
```tsx
import { gql, useQuery } from '@apollo/client'
const query = gql`
query PoolLiquidity($id: ID!, $shareId: ID) {
pool(id: $id) {
id
totalShares
}
}
`
function Component() {
const { data } = useQuery(query, {}, pollInterval: 5000 })
return <div>{data}</div>
}
```
### 3Box
Publishers can create a profile on [3Box Hub](https://www.3box.io/hub) and when found, it will be displayed in the app.
For this our own [3box-proxy](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/3box-proxy) is used, within the app the utility method `get3BoxProfile()` can be used to get all info:
```tsx
import get3BoxProfile from '../../../utils/profile'
Based on [list-purgatory](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/list-purgatory) some data sets get additional data. Within most components this can be done with the internal `useAsset()` hook which fetches data from the [market-purgatory](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/market-purgatory) endpoint in the background.
All displayed chain & network metadata is retrieved from `https://chainid.network` on build time and integrated into Gatsby's GraphQL layer. This data source is a community-maintained GitHub repository under [ethereum-lists/chains](https://github.com/ethereum-lists/chains).
Within components this metadata can be queried for under `allNetworksMetadataJson`. The `useWeb3()` hook does this in the background to expose the final `networkDisplayName` for use in components:
```tsx
export default function NetworkName(): ReactElement {
[Storybook](https://storybook.js.org) is set up for this project and is used for UI development of components. Stories are created inside `src/components/` alongside each component in the form of `ComponentName.stories.tsx`.
To run the Storybook server, execute in your Terminal:
```bash
npm run storybook
```
This will launch the Storybook UI with all stories loaded under [localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000).
The latest deployment of the `main` branch is automatically aliased to `market.oceanprotocol.com`, where the deployment on Netlify is the current live deployment.
