# Concepts
| | Implemented | Notes |
| ------- | ----------- | ----- |
| Peering | Yes | Currently using RHIZOME_SEED_PEERS, no gossip / discovery |
| Schemas | Not really | Currently very thin layer allowing TypedCollections |
| Relationships | No | Supporting relational algebra among domain entities |
| Views | Yes | Currently using functions rather than JSON-Logic expressions |
| Functions | No | Arbitrary subscribers to delta stream (that can also emit deltas?) |
| Tests | Minimal | So far we have a few `ts-jest` tests. Need a plan for multi-node tests. |
| Identity | No | Probably a public key / private key system |
| Contexts | No | Each context may involve different lossy functions and delta filters |
| HTTP API | Yes | Basic peering info and entity CRUD |
# Development / Demo
## Setup
Install [`nvm`](https://nvm.sh)
Clone repo
```bash
git clone https://gitea.dgov.io/ladd/rhizome
```
Use `nvm` to install and activate the target nodejs version
```bash
nvm install
```
Install nodejs packages
```bash
npm install
```
## Build
Compile Typescript
```bash
npm run build
```
During development, it's useful to run the compiler in watch mode:
```bash
npm run build:watch
```
## Run
To demonstrate the example application, you can open multiple terminals, and in each terminal execute something like the following:
```bash
export DEBUG="*,-express"
export RHIZOME_REQUEST_BIND_PORT=4000
export RHIZOME_PUBLISH_BIND_PORT=4001
export RHIZOME_SEED_PEERS='127.0.0.1:4002, 127.0.0.1:4004'
export RHIZOME_HTTP_API_PORT=3000
export RHIZOME_PEER_ID=peer1
npm run example-app
```
```bash
export DEBUG="*,-express"
export RHIZOME_REQUEST_BIND_PORT=4002
export RHIZOME_PUBLISH_BIND_PORT=4003
export RHIZOME_SEED_PEERS='127.0.0.1:4000, 127.0.0.1:4004'
export RHIZOME_HTTP_API_PORT=3001
export RHIZOME_PEER_ID=peer2
npm run example-app
```
```bash
export DEBUG="*,-express"
export RHIZOME_REQUEST_BIND_PORT=4004
export RHIZOME_PUBLISH_BIND_PORT=4005
export RHIZOME_SEED_PEERS='127.0.0.1:4000, 127.0.0.1:4002'
export RHIZOME_HTTP_API_PORT=3002
export RHIZOME_PEER_ID=peer3
npm run example-app
```
In a separate terminal, you can use `curl` to interact with an instance.
`jq` is helpful for formatting the json responses.
Query the number of peers seen by a given node (including itself)
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/peers/count | jq
```
Query the list of peers seen by a given node (including itself)
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/peers | jq
```
Query the number of deltas ingested by this node
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/deltas/count | jq
```
Query the list of deltas ingested by this node
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3000/deltas | jq
```
