Flow GoDoc

Flow is a fast, secure, and developer-friendly blockchain built to support the next generation of games, apps and the digital assets that power them. Read more about it here.

Table of Contents

Getting started

Documentation

You can find an overview of the Flow architecture on the documentation website.

Development on Flow is divided into work streams. Each work stream has a home directory containing high-level documentation for the stream, as well as links to documentation for relevant components used by that work stream.

The following table lists all work streams and links to their home directory and documentation:

Work Stream Home directory
Access Node /cmd/access
Collection Node /cmd/collection
Consensus Node /cmd/consensus
Execution Node /engine/execution
Verification Node /cmd/verification
HotStuff /consensus/hotstuff
Storage /storage
Ledger /ledger
Networking /network
Cryptography /crypto

Installation

Clone Repository
  • Clone this repository
  • Clone this repository's submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Install Dependencies
  • Install Go (Flow supports Go 1.13 and later)
  • Install CMake, which is used for building the crypto library
  • Install Docker, which is used for running a local network and integration tests
  • All remaining dependencies can be installed automatically:
make install-tools

At this point, you should be ready to build, test, and run Flow! 🎉

Note: if there is error about "relic" or "crypto", trying force removing the relic build and reinstall the tools again:

rm -rf crypto/relic
make install-tools

Development Workflow

Testing

Flow has a unit test suite and an integration test suite. Unit tests for a module live within the module they are testing. Integration tests live in integration/tests.

Run the unit test suite:

make test

Run the integration test suite:

make integration-test
Building

The recommended way to build and run Flow for local development is using Docker.

Build a Docker image for all nodes:

make docker-build-flow

Build a Docker image for a particular node role (replace $ROLE with collection, consensus, etc.):

make docker-build-$ROLE
Local Network

A local version of the network can be run for manual testing and integration. See the Local Network Guide for instructions.

Code Generation

Generated code is kept up to date in the repository, so should be committed whenever it changes.

Run all code generators:

make generate

Generate protobuf stubs:

make generate-proto

Generate mocks used for unit tests:

make generate-mocks
