ENS Application

Installation

Manual

$> git clone https://github.com/ensdomains/ens-app.git
$> cd ens-app
$> yarn install
$> yarn start

Open your browser at localhost:3000 and open metamask.

To start the ipfs-enabled build:

yarn start:ipfs

The main difference of the ipfs-build is that it uses HashRouter instead of BrowserRouter and makes sure all links are relative.

Unit Testing

All tests are run with Jest for both the front-end application and testing blockchain functionality. For blockchain based tests it uses ganache-cli by default. If you want to see the transactions in the Ganache GUI, you can change the environment in the test file from GANACHE_CLI to GANACHE. Then you can open Ganache on your computer and test manually after the test runner deploys the contracts.

To run the tests:

npm test

To speed up the tests, the contracts are compiled before the tests. If you need to update the solidity code, you can run npm run compile to recompile the code. Alternatively you can uncomment the code that compiles the contracts in the tests, which will slow down the tests considerably.

Troubleshooting tests

If you get this error:

$ npm test

> [email protected] test /Users/youruser/drive/projects/ens-app
> react-scripts test --env=jsdom

Coding Style and Contribution Guide

Importing and Exporting

Global modules will be imported first regardless, e.g. React, ReactDOM and any other libraries that are installed via NPM. Imports thereafter will be separated by type with line separating each type. Generally React components will only have one export, unless there are multiple versions of that component, or it's a collection of related styled components. Since there are generally only one export, we will use export default to allow more flexibility.

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react'
import styled from '@emotion/styled/macro'

import util from '../utils'

import ComponentA from '../components/ComponentA'
import ComponentB from '../components/ComponentB'

export

React Style

We use a functional components, using hooks instead of class based components. For basic state we use useState and for more complicated state useReducer. If they reusable, then you can abstract them to the hooks file, which can additionally by split up into a folder once we have enough hooks.

import React, { useState } from 'react'

export default function Component({ someProp }) {
  const [state, setState] = useState(null)
  return <div>...</div>
}

CSS/Styling

Styling in this app is done with Emotion, with styled components style CSS. We do not use css or classNames, unless we are passing through the styles to a component. We use the babel plugin macros import as this enables labels and source mapping for our components. We also use parentheses for all styled components to keep consistency when we create components that compose with each other.

import styled from '@emotion/styled/macro'

const Component = styled('div')`
  display: flex;
`

Media Queries

The main way to use media queries is with the helper function mq located in the root at mediaQuery. We have absolute URL support, so you can just import it directly as mediaQuery. It has properties for all the breakpoints supported by our app. We also have a useMediaMin hook, which we plan to roll out to replace the render prop version when we can convert all our components to functional components.

Currently supported breakpoints:

const breakpoints = {
  small: 576,
  medium: 768,
  large: 992,
  xLarge: 1200
}

You can use it as follows:

import styled from '@emotion/styled/macro'
import mq from 'mediaQuery'

const SomeComponent = styled('div')`
  font-size: 14px;
  ${mq.small`
    font-size: 22px;
  `}
`

The second way is using hooks, which uses useEffect and useState underneath. This must be used with functional components.

import { useMediaMin } from './mediaQuery'

function Component(){
  const mediumBP = useMediaMin('medium')
  return <>
    {mediumBP ? <LargeComponent /> : <SmallComponent />}
  <>
}

Internationalisation

We use the i18next and react-i18next package for internationlisation.

Currently we use /public/locales/[language].json for translation. Each property should be a page or reusable component. The only exception to this is c which is a namespace we are using for common language throughout the app that will have to be reused over and over.

Adding a new language

To add a new language, copy the public/locals/en.json file, and name it [language].js and then you can begin to translate each label one by one.

The other thing that needs to be changed is LanguageSwitcher.js, which has a list of currently supported languages. This will add the language to our dropdown menu.

Once this has been done, please create a pull request for us to review and check it has been done correctl.y

End to end Testing

The main package for the E2E tests is ensdomains/mock, which exposes a script that will prepopulate ganache with ENS so you have everything setup to run Cypress on.

The ENS app has end to end tests with Cypress. To run them you need to start ganache, run the seed script, run the app and then run cypress. This should start chrome and the Cypress GUI. Each time the test run, the script needs to be re-run and the app restarted for it to work.

ganache-cli

yarn run preTest

This runs the app in local ganache mode:

yarn start:test

yarn run cypress:open

To test the ipfs-build use the respective ":ipfs"-variants of the scripts:

yarn start:test:ipfs

yarn run cypress:open:ipfs

Setting up subgraph

Subgraph is used to list subdomains and all the names you have registered.

Prerequisite

Get ens subgraph

git clone https://github.com/graphprotocol/ens-subgraph
cd ens-subgraph
yarn

Get graph-node

git clone https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node

From now on, we assume that graph-node, ens-app, and ens-subgraph all exist under the same directory

Start ganache

ganache-cli

Download and start docker

Download and start docker first

Start thegraph node

This starts up docker with ipfs, postgresdb, and the-graph node.

cd graph-node/docker
docker-compose up

Deploy ENS contracts and update subgraph.yml

cd ens-app
yarn preTest
yarn subgraph

subgraph job updates ENS contract addresses and updates environment from mainnet to dev

Deploy ENS subgraph

Generate deployment code

cd ../ens-subgraph
yarn
yarn codegen

Deploy

yarn create-local
yarn deploy-local

NOTE: If it raises error, try to delete graph-node/docker/data and startup the docker again.
