Running the App

This codebase targets Node 8.9.4 (LTS). After npm installing all dependencies (You may be required to install additional system dependencies, due to some node modules relying on them) you can run various commands depending on what you want to do:

Development

# run app in dev mode in browser, rebuild on file changes
npm run dev

# run app in dev mode in electron, rebuild on file changes
npm run dev:electron

Build Releases

# builds the production server app
npm run build

# builds the downloadable version of the site
npm run build:downloadable

# builds the electron apps
npm run build:electron

# builds only one OS's electron app
npm run build:electron:(osx|linux|windows)

All of these builds are output to a folder in dist/.

Unit Tests:

# run unit tests with Jest
npm run test

Integration Tests:

# run integration tests with Jest
npm run test:int

Dev (HTTPS):

Some parts of the site, such as the Ledger wallet, require an HTTPS environment to work. To develop on HTTPS, do the following:

1. Create your own SSL Certificate (Heroku has a nice guide here)
2. Move the .key and .crt files into webpack_config/server.*
3. Run the following command:

npm run dev:https

Address Derivation Checker:

EthereumJS-Util previously contained a bug that would incorrectly derive addresses from private keys with a 1/128 probability of occurring. A summary of this issue can be found here.

As a reactionary measure, the address derivation checker was created.

To test for correct address derivation, the address derivation checker uses multiple sources of address derivation (EthereumJS and PyEthereum) to ensure that multiple official implementations derive the same address for any given private key.

The derivation checker utility assumes that you have:

1. Docker installed/available
2. dternyak/eth-priv-to-addr pulled from DockerHub

Docker setup instructions:

1. Install docker (on macOS, Docker for Mac is suggested)
2. docker pull dternyak/eth-priv-to-addr

Run Derivation Checker

The derivation checker utility runs as part of the integration test suite.

npm run test:int
