---

blocace-covid19 is a COVID-19 data update dashboard based on Black Dashboard by Creative Tim as UI (React) and Blocace as backend service (blockchain).

Why bothering using a blockchain rather than a relational or document database as the data provider?

It provides technically:

• immutable (blockchain structure and P2P consensus)
• verifiable (digital signature)

data store, which intrinsically deliveries greater data accountability.

Quick Start

Only run the UI by making REST calls to the demo Blocace at endpoint https://www.blocace.com:16899

1. Make sure you have Node installed
2. Clone this repo https://github.com/codingpeasant/blocace-covid19.git
3. Go to the repo directory and run npm install
4. Run npm start to start a dev server at http://localhost:3000

Slow Start

Run both Blocace and the UI locally

1. Make sure you have Node installed
2. Get a copy of Blocace v0.0.6 executable for you operation system at: https://github.com/codingpeasant/blocace/releases
3. In the terminal, start a Blocace instance: <YOU_DIR>/blocace_<OS>_amd64_v0.0.6(.exe) server or its Windows Shell equivalent
4. Take a note of the PRIVATE KEY in the output
5. Open another terminal or tab ane clone this repo https://github.com/codingpeasant/blocace-covid19.git
6. Go to the repo directory and run node ./setup/load_blocace.js <PRIVATE KEY> or its Windows Shell equivalent to load demo COVID-19 data to Blocace (PRIVATE KEY is from Step 4). If you see an error { message: 'public key not valid' }, switch back to the Blocace terminal/tab and delete ./data folder and redo Step 3 to generate a new PRIVATE KEY to rerun this step.
7. In the same terminal, edit the 4th line of ./src/actions/index.js by replacing 'https', 'www.blocace.com', '16899' with 'http', 'localhost', '6899'
8. Run npm install
9. Run npm start to start a dev server at http://localhost:3000
