This repository is a monorepo aimed at kickstarting application chain development using the Protokit framework.

The monorepo contains 1 package and 1 app:

• packages/chain contains everything related to your app-chain
• apps/web contains a demo UI that connects to your locally hosted app-chain sequencer

Prerequisites:

• Node.js v18
• pnpm
• nvm

If you're on windows, please use Docker until we find a more suitable solution to running the @proto-kit/cli. Run the following command and then proceed to "Running the sequencer & UI":

docker run -it --rm -p 3000:3000 -p 8080:8080 -v %cd%:/starter-kit -w /starter-kit gplane/pnpm:node18 bash

git clone https://github.com/proto-kit/starter-kit my-chain
cd my-chain

# ensures you have the right node.js version
nvm use
pnpm install

# starts both UI and sequencer locally
pnpm dev

# starts UI only
pnpm dev -- --filter web
# starts sequencer only
pnpm dev -- --filter chain

# run and watch tests for the `chain` package
pnpm run test --filter=chain -- --watchAll

Navigate to localhost:3000 to see the example UI, or to localhost:8080/graphql to see the GQL interface of the locally running sequencer.
