Hyperledger Composer开发流程
上一篇我们分享了Composer的概念,提到了Composer将一个区块链应用抽象成若干概念,本篇我们将看看Composer如何将这些概念体现到开发流程的。
Composer开发体系架构
照例先放出一张官网的示意图:
ComposerArchitecture.png可以发现相比直接使用Fabric,已经减少了大量的工作。可以通过generator-hyperledger-composer
生成Angular的应用,然后通过Hyperledger Composer的SDK部署并运行在Fabric网络环境中。
整个Composer由以下组件构成:
- 执行环境
- JavaScript SDK
- 命令行接口
- REST Server
- LoopBack连接器
- Playground Web UI
- Yeoman代码生成器
- VSCode和Atom编辑器插件
执行环境
Hyperledger Composer设计支持多种可插拔的运行环境,目前已经实现了三种运行环境:
- Hyperledger Fabric v1.1. State存储在分布式账本
- Web. 直接在Web内部执行,用于Playground演示。State存储在浏览器的local storage中
- 内嵌环境。直接在Node.js进程内部执行,主要用于商业逻辑的单元测试。State以KV形式存储在内存中
Connection Profiles
Connection Profiles用于指明Composer如何连接到一个执行环境的。每一种执行环境都有不同的配置选项。
JavaScript SDK
这是一组Node.js API,给开发者提供创建应用操控和部署Business Network。这些API分成两个npm模块:
-
compser-client
: 提交交易请求到business network,以及对资产和参与者执行的CURD操作 -
composer-admin
: 用于管理business network,安装、启动、升级等
命令行接口
composer
命令行工具提供部署和管理business network的功能
REST Server
Hyperledger Composer REST Server会自动为business network创建一个Open API(利用Swagger) REST接口。REST Server(基于LoopBack技术)将Composer模型转换为Open API的定义,并且实现CURD支持。
LoopBack连接器
Hyperledger Composer LoopBack连接器可以被REST Server使用,也可以通过支持LoopBack的集成工具单独使用。当然也可以通过LoopBack工具创建一个更复杂的自定义REST API。
Playground Web User Interface
这玩意用于定义和测试business network的。可以让商业分析人在Web上快速导入样本和商业逻辑模型。
Yeoman代码生成器
创建以下工程的脚手架:
- Angular web application
- Node.js application
- business network的脚手架
VSCode和Atom编辑器插件
尽管没有直接的IDE支持,但是这个插件可以替代一些IDE功能。
第一个Composer应用
基本概念介绍完毕之后,让我们动手创建和部署一个应用试试看。
第一步: 创建一个business network结构
Hyperledger Composer的一个关键构成就是business network definition (BND),BND为区块链定义了数据模型,交易逻辑和访问控制规则。
最简单的方式是直接通过Yeoman创建一个脚手架business network工程:
$ yo hyperledger-composer:businessnetwork
Welcome to the business network generator
? Business network name: tutorial-network
? Description: Here is a hello world example
? Author name: Feng Yu
? Author email: abcfy2@163.com
? License: Apache-2.0
? Namespace: org.example.mynetwork
? Do you want to generate an empty template network? No: generate a populated sample network
create package.json
create README.md
create models/org.example.mynetwork.cto
create permissions.acl
create .eslintrc.yml
create features/sample.feature
create features/support/index.js
create test/logic.js
create lib/logic.js
在一系列交互式询问之后,我们就创建了一个business network应用程序。
第二步: 定义一个business network
一个business network是由资产、参与者、交易、访问控制规则,以及可选的时间和查询组成的。在之前创建的脚手架工程中,已经有一个model(.cto
)文件了,包含了定义了在business network中存在的所有资产、参与者、交易。这个工程同样也包含了一个访问控制规则(permissions.acl
),一个包含了交易过程的函数脚本(logic.js
),package.json
包含了business network的元数据。
模型化资产、参与者以及交易
模型文件(.cto
)是由Hyperledger Composer Modelling Language编写的,我们直接编辑org.example.mynetwork.cto
文件:
/**
* My commodity trading network
*/
namespace org.example.mynetwork
asset Commodity identified by tradingSymbol {
o String tradingSymbol
o String description
o String mainExchange
o Double quantity
--> Trader owner
}
participant Trader identified by tradeId {
o String tradeId
o String firstName
o String lastName
}
transaction Trade {
--> Commodity commodity
--> Trader newOwner
}
添加JavaScript交易逻辑代码。model中用transaction
声明的Trade
,指明了一个交易和参与者之间的关系。后面需要定义具体的逻辑实现。编辑logic.js
文件:
/**
* Track the trade of a commodity from one trader to another
* @param {org.example.mynetwork.Trade} trade - the trade to be processed
* @transaction
*/
async function tradeCommodity(trade) {
trade.commodity.owner = trade.newOwner;
let assetRegistry = await getAssetRegistry('org.example.mynetwork.Commodity');
await assetRegistry.update(trade.commodity);
}
添加访问控制permission.acl
:
/**
* Access control rules for tutorial-network
*/
rule Default {
description: "Allow all participants access to all resources"
participant: "ANY"
operation: ALL
resource: "org.example.mynetwork.*"
action: ALLOW
}
rule SystemACL {
description: "System ACL to permit all access"
participant: "ANY"
operation: ALL
resource: "org.hyperledger.composer.system.**"
action: ALLOW
}
第三步: 打包business network
在tutorial-network/
目录下执行以下命令:
$ composer archive create -t dir -n .
Creating Business Network Archive
Looking for package.json of Business Network Definition
Input directory: /home/vagrant/tutorial-network
Found:
Description: Here is a hello world example
Name: tutorial-network
Identifier: tutorial-network@0.0.1
Written Business Network Definition Archive file to
Output file: tutorial-network@0.0.1.bna
Command succeeded
整个工程被打包成了.bna
文件。
第四步: 部署business network
需要按照安装Composer的文档,将docker环境启动(./startFabric.sh
),然后部署:
$ composer network install --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --archiveFile tutorial-network@0.0.1.bna
✔ Installing business network. This may take a minute...
Successfully installed business network tutorial-network, version 0.0.1
Command succeeded
之后就可以运行了:
composer network start --networkName tutorial-network --networkVersion 0.0.1 --networkAdmin admin --networkAdminEnrollSecret adminpw --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --file networkadmin.card
Starting business network tutorial-network at version 0.0.1
Processing these Network Admins:
userName: admin
✔ Starting business network definition. This may take a minute...
Successfully created business network card:
Filename: networkadmin.card
Command succeeded
然后导入网络管理员身份作为可用的business network card:
$ composer card import --file networkadmin.card
Successfully imported business network card
Card file: networkadmin.card
Card name: admin@tutorial-network
Command succeeded
检查已部署的网络可以用以下命令:
$ composer network ping --card admin@tutorial-network
The connection to the network was successfully tested: tutorial-network
Business network version: 0.0.1
Composer runtime version: 0.19.7
participant: org.hyperledger.composer.system.NetworkAdmin#admin
identity: org.hyperledger.composer.system.Identity#67624c0918f6ae837d7d3b90e7df8dc305b0cb4e412cc8d4265fbf4f72823600
Command succeeded
第五步: 生成一个REST server
$ composer-rest-server
? Enter the name of the business network card to use: admin@tutorial-network
? Specify if you want namespaces in the generated REST API: never use namespaces
? Specify if you want to use an API key to secure the REST API: No
? Specify if you want to enable authentication for the REST API using Passport: Yes
? Specify if you want to enable multiple user and identity management using wallets: No
? Specify if you want to enable event publication over WebSockets: Yes
? Specify if you want to enable TLS security for the REST API: No
To restart the REST server using the same options, issue the following command:
composer-rest-server -c admin@tutorial-network -n never -a true -w true

Added schemas for all types to Loopback
Web server listening at: http://localhost:3000
Browse your REST API at http://localhost:3000/explorer
第六步: 生成应用程序
$ yo hyperledger-composer:angular
Welcome to the Hyperledger Composer Angular project generator
? Do you want to connect to a running Business Network? Yes
? Project name: angular-app
? Description: Hyperledger Composer Angular project
? Author name: Feng Yu
? Author email: abcfy2@163.com
? License: Apache-2.0
? Name of the Business Network card: admin@tutorial-network
? Do you want to generate a new REST API or connect to an existing REST API? Connect to an existing REST API
? REST server address: http://localhost
? REST server port: 3000
? Should namespaces be used in the generated REST API? Namespaces are not used

即可访问应用。
小结
本篇文档大致展示了一下使用composer通过快速脚手架生成工程代码,快速部署Fabric应用。总体来说Composer开发体验比直接使用Fabric API的体验太好了。在大致了解Fabric的文档之后,开发者完全可以通过Composer上手开发应用,而不需要对接非常底层的Fabric。
