eat-transactions

An amazing web application that shows a way to process a payment regarding the Ethereum blockchain

How to set everything up (assuming that you have Node installed - Yarn is optional)

• Open your terminal :)
• Clone the repository
  • git clone https://github.com/caffeinealgorithm/eat-transactions.git
• Enter to the repository directory
  • cd eat-transactions
• Install all the dependencies
  • yarn install or npm install
• Get your Etherscan API Token (optional)
  • https://etherscan.io/apis
• Set your token in the .env file (optional)
  • REACT_APP_API_TOKEN=""
• To start everything up
  • yarn start or npm run start
• To run the tests
  • yarn test or npm run test
• Open your browser and feed me some yummy transactionaly goodies
  • http://localhost:3000/

Random thoughts

• Etherscan API already checks for 0x, so, the request to get the transaction data by hash works with or without 0x;
• Not including external requests in unit testing (ex. Not making an actual request ~ but checking if the status code is different from 200);
• Best way (without using third party services) to check transaction confirmations will be using web3;
• For the future, checking out the transaction receipt status for this kind of things is important;
• axios would also be a good dependency for the web application regarding HTTP requests;
• Can't miss the importance of an CI workflow.

Reminder

• Be careful, don't eat too many transactions (I'm already getting fat with all this tests).
