Users want consistent experiences across platforms, but delivering this leads to headaches for developers of decentralized applications. Developers often end up duplicating Ethereum-related application logic between native and web-based clients to support the advanced functionalities of smart contracts, such as identity management and ENS address resolution.
eth-explorer is an extensible and general purpose GraphQL gateway for Ethereum. Thanks to the composability of GraphQL queries, its interface makes it convenient to walk the Ethereum blockchain from block to transaction to address, provides methods for common action such as retrieving address balances, supports inspecting/sending transactions, and more. Better yet, you can use it right within your browser. This library works by proxying requests via web3 to the wonderful Infura service, with caching handled using the DataLoader pattern. Its simple, stateless architecture lends itself toward extension: you can use eth-explorer as a starting point for your decentralized application's backend to support native and web clients.
This service has or will have first-class support for a number of existing or emerging standards in the Ethereum ecosystem, including:
A hosted instance is available at eth-explorer-gbirnihhso.now.sh.
git clone git@github.com:dsys/eth-explorer.git
cd eth-explorer
yarn install
yarn start # listening on localhost:4000
