config/

It contains config file. currently we use yaml, but JSON is good like as yaml.

peer/

It contains main.cpp

smart_contract/

It contains smart_contract logic what user defines.
Currently use java virtual machine.

test/

There's few tests for iroha. 🙇 We accept pull requests.

core/

It contains main.

We adopt a Domain-Driven Development structure as much as possible.

core/connection (consensus layer)

It contains the P2P messaging function interface.

  void initialize_peer( std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> config);

  bool sendAll(std::string message);
  bool send(std::string to,std::string message);
  bool receive(std::function<void(std::string from,std::string message)> callback);

core/consensus (consensus layer)

It contains the consensus algorithm(s).

core/crypto (service)

It contains digital signature algorithms, base64, hash function interfaces, etc.

core/model (domain)

It contains asset model, transaction logic. independent of infra knowledge.

core/infra (infra layer)

It contains some source depend on vendor (third party) libraries. If any source depends on vendor libraries, it should be in infra.

filename

basically, filename is "function"_with_"lib name".cpp

connection
 └── connection_with_aeron.cpp
repository
 └── world_state_repository_with_level_db.cpp

core/server (UI layer)

It contains the server interface, currently.

void server();

core/smart_contract (service)

It contains the Java virtual machine interface.

void initializeVM(std::string contractName);
void finishVM();    
void invokeFunction(
    std::string functionName,
      std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> params);

core/util (other)

It contains logger, random, datetime, exception...

Environment

JAVA_HOME  := java's home
IROHA_HOME := iroha's root

Requirement

cmake(3.5.2)
gRPC
LevelDB

Recommended

fabric3 (python library, not hyperledger/fabric)

Using docker and docker-compose for development

Refer to this guide.

Installation

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

(in server) or

$ fab deploy

(in local)

Rebuilding gRPC stubs

This step should only be necessary if protobuf definitions changes, or version of gRPC or protoc has been updated.

(invoked from $IROHA_HOME)

protoc  --cpp_out=core/infra/connection core/infra/connection/connection.proto
protoc  --grpc_out=core/infra/connection  --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_cpp_plugin` core/infra/connection/connection.proto
