Getting Started

This repository contains Substrate based runtime for Paralink Network.

Makefile

This project uses a Makefile to document helpful commands and make it easier to execute them.

1. make init - Run the init script to configure the Rust toolchain for WebAssembly compilation.
2. make run - Build and launch this project in development mode.

Build

The make run command will perform an initial build. Use the following command to build the node without launching it:

make build

Embedded Docs

Once the project has been built, the following command can be used to explore all parameters and subcommands:

./target/release/paralink-node -h

Run

The make run command will launch a temporary node and its state will be discarded after you terminate the process. After the project has been built, there are other ways to launch the node.

Single-Node Development Chain

This command will start the single-node development chain with persistent state:

./target/release/paralink-node --dev

Purge the development chain's state:

./target/release/paralink-node purge-chain --dev

Start the development chain with detailed logging:

RUST_LOG=debug RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ./target/release/paralink-node -lruntime=debug --dev

Run in Docker

Then run the following command to start a single node development chain.

./scripts/docker_run.sh

This command will firstly compile your code, and then start a local development network. You can also replace the default command (cargo build --release && ./target/release/paralink-node --dev --ws-external) by appending your own. A few useful ones are as follow.

# Run Substrate node without re-compiling
./scripts/docker_run.sh ./target/release/paralink-node --dev --ws-external

# Purge the local dev chain
./scripts/docker_run.sh ./target/release/paralink-node purge-chain --dev

# Check whether the code is compilable
./scripts/docker_run.sh cargo check
