Overview

This project implements a blockchain in Go. It includes core blockchain functionalities, a CLI for interaction, networking for peer-to-peer communication, a React.js client, wallet management, and tests.

Directory Structure

• blockchain: Core blockchain logic including block creation, validation, and chain management.
• cli: Command Line Interface for interacting with the blockchain.
• network: Peer-to-peer communication logic.
• reactjs-client: React.js front-end client for web interaction.
• test: Test cases for various components.
• wallet: Cryptographic operations for managing wallets and transactions.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go (1.18.4)
• Node.js and npm (for React.js client)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/AminMortezaie/golang-blockchain.git
   cd golang-blockchain

2. Build the Application

   go build -o main.exe main.go

3. Run the Application

   ./main.exe

4. Running the React Client Navigate to the reactjs-client directory and run:

   npm install
   npm start

Configuration

• main.go: Entry point for the Go application. Initializes the blockchain and starts the CLI and network.
• blockchain/blockchain.go: Core blockchain functionalities.
• cli/cli.go: CLI commands.
• network/network.go: Networking functionalities.
• wallet/wallet.go: Wallet functionalities.

Usage

• CLI Commands: Use the CLI to interact with the blockchain. Examples:

  ./main.exe createblockchain -address ADDRESS
  ./main.exe addblock -data "Some data"
  ./main.exe printchain

• React Client: Access the React.js client at http://localhost:3000 after starting the React server.

Testing

Run tests using:

go test ./test/...
