Sui Explorer Frontend

Sui Explorer is a network explorer for the Sui network, similar in functionality to Etherscan or Solana Explorer. Use Sui Explorer to see the latest transactions and objects.

Set Up

Requirements: Node 14.0.0 or later.

Dependencies are managed using pnpm. You can start by installing dependencies in the root of the Sui repository:

$ pnpm install

All pnpm commands are intended to be run in the root of the Sui repo. You can also run them within the apps/explorer directory, and remove change pnpm explorer to just pnpm when running commands.

Developing the Sui Explorer

To start the explorer dev server, you can run the following command:

pnpm explorer dev

This will start the dev server on port 3000, which should be accessible on http://localhost:3000/

How to Switch Environment

By default, the Sui Explorer attempts to connect to a local RPC server. For more information about using a local RPC server, see Local RPC Server & JSON-RPC API Quick Start.

If you want to use the explorer with another network, you can select your preferred network in the header of the explorer.

To run end-to-end localnet test

Start validators locally:

cargo run --bin sui-test-validator

In a a separate terminal, you can now run the end-to-end tests:

pnpm explorer playwright test

Other pnpm commands

pnpm explorer test

This runs a series of end-to-end browser tests using the website as connected to the static JSON dataset. This command is run by the GitHub checks. The tests must pass before merging a branch into main.

pnpm explorer build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.

It bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

pnpm explorer lint

Run linting check (prettier/eslint).

pnpm explorer lint:fix

Run linting check but also try to fix any issues.

Currently the Explorer supports

  • Landing page with latest transactions
  • Transaction details page

  • Address page with owned objects
  • Search for transactions, addresses, and Objects by ID

See Experiment with Sui DevNet for use.
