This document is currently a scratchpad for developer setup and temporary hacks to run the project. It will be made more user-friendly in the future

Requirements: Go, protoc, nodejs

One-time Setup

Create certificate for browser to backend proxy communication

openssl genrsa -out https.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -key https.key -out https.cert -days 365

Install client app dependencies

npm install -g yarn # if yarn isn't already installed
cd app/
yarn

Development

• Spin up a local regtest env with nautilus and loopd (See docker-regtest)
• Copy admin.macaroon hex into App.tsx
• Start backend server

  go run . --lndhost=localhost:10011 --loophost=localhost:11010
  

• Run the client app in a separate terminal

  cd app
  yarn start
  

Open browser at https://localhost:3000 and accept invalid cert (may not work in Chrome, use Firefox)
