ChiaWeb2Gateway

ChiaWeb2Gateway is a gateway for hosting and accessing web content on the Chia network via the DataLayer protocol. The gateway allows you to create a datastore, publish content to it, and access the content using a web browser.

Features

• Serve static websites from the Chia network using DataLayer.
• Support for Single Page Applications (SPAs) by redirecting all not-found routes to the base path.
• Serve multipart files by stitching together file parts, with caching for repeated access.
• Automatically embed the correct base URL in index.html files to ensure correct relative path resolution.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You will need Node.js installed on your system to run and test this application. Also, it's crucial that Chia Wallet and Chia Datalayer must be running while using this software.

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/MichaelTaylor3D/ChiaWeb2Gateway.git

2. Navigate into the cloned directory:

   cd ChiaWeb2Gateway

3. Install the required dependencies:

   npm install

Configuration

The gateway can be configured by changing the values in defaultConfig located in ./utils/defaultConfig.js. The configuration parameters are as follows:

• FULL_NODE_HOST: The hostname of the full node.
• DATALAYER_HOST: The hostname of the data layer.
• WALLET_HOST: The hostname of the wallet.
• CERTIFICATE_FOLDER_PATH: The path to the certificate folder.
• DEFAULT_WALLET_ID: The default wallet ID.
• WEB2_GATEWAY_PORT: The port for the gateway server.
• WEB2_BIND_ADDRESS: The bind address for the gateway server.

Usage

To start the gateway server:

node server.js start

If you install this module as a local or global npm module, you can run

chiaweb2 start

The server will start and display a console message with the server's URL.

Integration in Your Own Projects

You can easily integrate ChiaWeb2Gateway into your own projects:

const gateway = require("chia-web2-gateway");
gateway.start();

This will start the gateway server within your application.
