HOW TO

Guides on how to run this project

Setting up hypeledger fabric (hlf) testnet

1. The first thing you need to do is to setup the fabric network

• while in the project root switch to script dir

    # change directory to scripts
    cd scripts

• run setup script (this scripts helps setup the network and create a channel "mychannel" with couchDb and CA enabled)

    # setup hlf testnet
    ./setup.sh

2. After setting up the fabric testnet, you can deploy the chaincode to the channel (mychannel)

    # deploy chaincode to "mychannel"
    ./deploy.sh

3. Now you can simulate creating a user

   • To simulate creation of userA, run the simulate script

       # simulate creation of default user [userA]
       ./simulate.sh

   • To simulate creation of another user, pass the username as an argument

       # simulate creation of custom user 
       ./simulate.sh userB

The testnetwork should now be completely setup with atleast on user.

Running the go application

To run the gateway application for simulating user activities,

    # cd into gateway dir from root
    cd gateway

    # run go app
    go run .

NOTE: To simulate different smart contract functions, you have to make some edits to the app.go for function calls and connect.go to change the current user interacting with the blockchain network.
