Balance transfer

A sample Node.js app to demonstrate fabric-client & fabric-ca-client Node.js SDK APIs

Prerequisites and setup:

• Docker - v1.12 or higher
• Docker Compose - v1.8 or higher
• Git client - needed for clone commands
• Node.js v6.9.0 - 6.10.0 ( Node v7+ is not supported )
• Download Docker images

cd fabric-samples/balance-transfer/

Once you have completed the above setup, you will have provisioned a local network with the following docker container configuration:

• 2 CAs
• A SOLO orderer
• 4 peers (2 peers per Org)

Artifacts

• Crypto material has been generated using the cryptogen tool from Hyperledger Fabric and mounted to all peers, the orderering node and CA containers. More details regarding the cryptogen tool are available here.
• An Orderer genesis block (genesis.block) and channel configuration transaction (mychannel.tx) has been pre generated using the configtxgen tool from Hyperledger Fabric and placed within the artifacts folder. More details regarding the configtxgen tool are available here.

Running the sample program

There are two options available for running the balance-transfer sample

Option 1:

Terminal Window 1

• Launch the network using docker-compose

docker-compose -f artifacts/docker-compose.yaml up

Terminal Window 2

• Install the fabric-client and fabric-ca-client node modules

npm install

• Start the node app on PORT 4000

PORT=4000 node app

Terminal Window 3

• Execute the REST APIs from the section Sample REST APIs Requests

Option 2:

Terminal Window 1

cd fabric-samples/balance-transfer

./runApp.sh

• This lauches the required network on your local machine
• Installs the fabric-client and fabric-ca-client node modules
• And, starts the node app on PORT 4000

Terminal Window 2

In order for the following shell script to properly parse the JSON, you must install jq:

With the application started in terminal 1, next, test the APIs by executing the script - testAPIs.sh:

cd fabric-samples/balance-transfer

./testAPIs.sh

Sample REST APIs Requests

Login Request

• Register and enroll new users in Organization - Org1:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:4000/users -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d 'username=Jim&orgName=org1'

OUTPUT:

{
  "success": true,
  "secret": "RaxhMgevgJcm",
  "message": "Jim enrolled Successfully",
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0OTQ4NjU1OTEsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoiSmltIiwib3JnTmFtZSI6Im9yZzEiLCJpYXQiOjE0OTQ4NjE5OTF9.yWaJhFDuTvMQRaZIqg20Is5t-JJ_1BP58yrNLOKxtNI"
}

The response contains the success/failure status, an enrollment Secret and a JSON Web Token (JWT) that is a required string in the Request Headers for subsequent requests.

Network configuration considerations

You have the ability to change configuration parameters by either directly editing the network-config.json file or provide an additional file for an alternative target network. The app uses an optional environment variable "TARGET_NETWORK" to control the configuration files to use. For example, if you deployed the target network on Amazon Web Services EC2, you can add a file "network-config-aws.json", and set the "TARGET_NETWORK" environment to 'aws'. The app will pick up the settings inside the "network-config-aws.json" file.

IP Address** and PORT information

If you choose to customize your docker-compose yaml file by hardcoding IP Addresses and PORT information for your peers and orderer, then you MUST also add the identical values into the network-config.json file. The paths shown below will need to be adjusted to match your docker-compose yaml file.

		"orderer": {
			"url": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:7050",
			"server-hostname": "orderer0",
			"tls_cacerts": "../artifacts/tls/orderer/ca-cert.pem"
		},
		"org1": {
			"ca": "http://x.x.x.x:7054",
			"peer1": {
				"requests": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:7051",
				"events": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:7053",
				...
			},
			"peer2": {
				"requests": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:7056",
				"events": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:7058",
				...
			}
		},
		"org2": {
			"ca": "http://x.x.x.x:8054",
			"peer1": {
				"requests": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:8051",
				"events": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:8053",
				...			},
			"peer2": {
				"requests": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:8056",
				"events": "grpcs://x.x.x.x:8058",
				...
			}
		}

Discover IP Address

To retrieve the IP Address for one of your network entities, issue the following command:

# this will return the IP Address for peer0
docker inspect peer0 | grep IPAddress
