Fabric REST sample
Prototype sample REST server to demonstrate good Fabric Node SDK practices
The primary aim of this sample is to show how to write a long running client application using the Fabric Node SDK
The REST API is intended to work with the basic asset transfer example
To install the basic asset transfer chaincode on a local Fabric network, follow the Using the Fabric test network tutorial
To build and start the sample REST server, you'll need to download and install an LTS version of node
Clone this repository and change to the fabric-rest-sample/asset-transfer-basic/rest-api-typescript directory before running the following commands
Install dependencies
npm install
Build the REST server
npm run build
Create a .env file to configure the server for the test network (make sure TEST_NETWORK_HOME is set to the fully qualified test-network directory)
TEST_NETWORK_HOME=$HOME/fabric-samples/test-network npm run generateEnv
Start a Redis server
npm run start:redis
Start the sample REST server
npm run start:dev
If everything went well, you can now make REST calls!
For example, check whether an asset exists...
curl -v -X OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
Create an asset...
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"id":"asset7","color":"red","size":42,"owner":"Jean","appraisedValue":101}' http://localhost:3000/api/assets
Get an asset...
curl -v http://localhost:3000/api/assets/asset7
