Run your App

This page explains how to run your application locally.

Amazing, we have written the code we need to compile a HelloWorld resource object and can create a transaction to initialize our HelloWorld resource. Let's run through these steps by starting with the setup of the local Anoma Client and Node.

Anoma Client and Node

The following way of running the Anoma Client and Node are temporary and thus, Work-In-Progress areas which are specific to the current stage of the devnet.

First and foremost, we need a local version of the 6a07f590a5a1addb52fa7f6e39dd9315accc93c5 commit of Anoma's codebase, install its dependencies, and compile the code. For a detailed description on how to do these steps, please follow this README.

As we continue to work towards a stable testnet release, we will further update recommended commits of the Anoma codebase.

Before we can create the necessary makefile, we need to install its dependencies.

macOS

If you use the Homebrew package manager, you can install al dependencies via

brew install jq
brew install yq
brew install grpcurl

Linux

Assuming you have successfully compiled the Anoma codebase and installed the above dependencies, you can now use the following makefile to start the Anoma Client and Anoma Node. Copy the following code into a makefile at your project root.

Please mind that the makefile is temporary and an artifact of the current stage of the devnet.

ANOMA_PATH ?= $(error set the ANOMA_PATH variable to a path to an anoma clone)
base-path = .
base = HelloWorld
get-message = GetMessage
root = $(shell pwd)

ifneq ($(XDG_CONFIG_HOME),)
    juvix-cmd = XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$(XDG_CONFIG_HOME) juvix
else
    juvix-cmd = juvix
endif

anoma-build-dir = anoma-build
anoma-build = $(anoma-build-dir)/.exists

temp-file := $(anoma-build-dir)/temp_line

juvix = $(base-path)/$(base).juvix

proved = $(anoma-build-dir)/$(base).proved.nockma

get-message-juvix = $(base-path)/$(get-message).juvix
get-message-nockma = $(anoma-build-dir)/$(get-message).nockma
get-message-proved = $(anoma-build-dir)/$(get-message).proved.nockma

unspent-resources = $(anoma-build-dir)/unspent-resources
last-message-txt = $(anoma-build-dir)/last-message.txt

port = $(anoma-build-dir)/port
host = $(anoma-build-dir)/host

$(anoma-build):
	mkdir -p $(anoma-build-dir)
	touch $(anoma-build)

.PHONY: clean
clean:
	juvix clean
	rm -rf $(anoma-build-dir)

		mix phx.server --no-halt $(root)/../start-config.exs

endif

.PHONY: anoma-stop
anoma-stop:
ifdef ANOMA_DEBUG
	@echo "ANOMA_DEBUG is incompatible with anoma-stop" && false
else
	$(juvix-cmd) dev anoma stop
endif

.PHONY: $(message-file)

	@echo $(message) \
	> $(message-file)

	cp $(ANOMA_PATH)/config.yaml $(config)

	$(juvix-cmd) dev anoma print-config > $(config)
endif

.PHONY: add-transaction

	$(juvix-cmd) dev anoma -c $(config) add-transaction $(proved)

	$(juvix-cmd) dev nockma encode --cue --from bytes --to bytes < anoma-build/GetMessage.proved.nockma > $(last-message-txt)

$(nockma): $(juvix) $(anoma-build)
	$(juvix-cmd) compile anoma $(juvix) -o $(nockma)

$(proved): $(nockma) $(config)
	$(juvix-cmd) dev anoma -c $(config) prove $(nockma) -o $(proved)

$(get-message-nockma): $(anoma-build) $(get-message-juvix)
	$(juvix-cmd) compile anoma $(get-message-juvix) -o $(get-message-nockma)

.PHONY: $(unspent-resources)
$(unspent-resources): $(anoma-build) $(host) $(port)
	curl -X GET $$(cat $(host)):$$(cat $(port))/indexer/unspent-resources | jq -r '.unspent_resources[-1] // error("no messages exist")' > $(unspent-resources)

$(host): $(config)
	yq -r '.url' $(config) | tr -d '\n' > $(host)

$(port): $(config)
	yq -r '.port' $(config) | tr -d '\n' > $(port)

Importantly, we first need to set the environment variable $ANOMA_PATH to the path of the Anoma node clone (use something like export ANOMA_PATH=... in the terminal to set it).

# Set path to the folder where Anoma is cloned and compiled
# Example:
# export ANOMA_PATH=~/anoma/anoma
export ANOMA_PATH=#INSERT_PATH_TO_ANOMA_FOLDER

Open a new terminal in your project root:

HelloWorld

make anoma-start # start the Anoma node

Calling the Transaction Function

Now, once the Anoma Client and Node have started in your first terminal which you will keep open, we want to call our transaction function. We do so by opening a new terminal and running the following makefile command:

HelloWorld

make add-transaction # Submit the HelloWorld transaction to anoma
make get-last-message # Get the message from the latest HelloWorld Resource
# ...
make anoma-stop # stop the Anoma node when you've finished
make clean # clean up after yourself

🎉 Congrats! You have successfully built and deployed your first Resource Object. We will soon add more functionality, e.g. to index your Resource and make use of custom Projection functions.
