Libplanet Explorer

Explorer blocks, transactions, and addresses on your Libplanet-powered distributed games. For the frontend, see also libplanet-explorer-frontend.

How to build and develop

You need to install .NET Core 3.1 or higher. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. After you install them, execute the following command to run a development server:

dotnet watch -p Libplanet.Explorer.Executable run -- \
  --store-path BLOCKCHAIN_STORE_PATH

BLOCKCHAIN_STORE_PATH refers to a directory or a file made by a Libplanet-powered game. If you need a sample data file please contact us on our Discord chat!

If you omit --store-path switch in online mode, explorer will use memory to store blockchain instead of storage.

How to use progressive features

Now, it uses IRichStore to improve transaction query speed and provide more usable features (e.g., blockRef).

It provides some implementations like below:

• LiteDBRichStore
• MySQLRichStore

To use MySQLRichStore, it needs to fill command line arguments started with mysql- prefix fully and correctly. Else, it will use LiteDBRichStore as default.
