Advanced tools
Run a local Arweave gateway-like server.
Make sure you already have NodeJS + NPM installed.
To run arlocal
it's as simple as doing an npx
which means running the latest version available on npmjs.com
.
npx arlocal
That's it! You are running a local slim gateway on http://localhost:1984
How about if I want to run it on another port?! It's as simple as doing:
npx arlocal 8080
This will start arlocal on port 8080
.
Other options:
--hidelogs = This will hide the logs from ArLocal.
You can also use arlocal
as a library on your own code. This is useful if you want to make sure everyone who tests your app has this instance installed.
yarn add arlocal -D
Then you can import it just like any other node module:
import ArLocal from 'arlocal';
(async () => {
const arLocal = new ArLocal();
// Start is a Promise, we need to start it inside an async function.
await arLocal.start();
// Your tests here...
// After we are done with our tests, let's close the connection.
await arLocal.stop();
})();
The ArLocal
class has a few options, all of them are optional.
ArLocal(port = 1984, showLogs = true, dbPath = '.db', persist = false)
port = What port to use for ArLocal.
showLogs = Should we show logs.
dbPath = folder where the db will be temporary stored.
persist = Whether or not data stored should be persisted among server restarts.
Before sending a transaction to ArLocal, make sure you mint new AR tokens for the wallet you'll be using. This is done using the endpoint /mint/<address>/<balance>
.
Sending a new transaction is done just like with the default gateway, use ArweaveJS to create your transaction, sign and post it.
After this transaction is sent, to confirm (mine
) your transactions, you need to hit the /mine
endpoint. You can do this programmatically or by simply going to http://localhost:1984/mine
.
You can also mine more than one block at a time by hitting /mine/{blocks}
, this will increase the current blocks to the set blocks
.
PRs are greatly appreciated, help us build this hugely needed tool so anyone else can easily test their own transactions and SmartWeave contracts.
Before doing a PR, remember that if this is a route or an extisting feature of the gateway, you need to respect the same path/default of the existing mainnet gateway. Example: /tx
should be kept as /tx
, this is so the user doesn't have to do many changes for their unit tests, compared to normal transaction on mainnet.
