NoNodo is a development node for Cartesi Rollups that was designed to work with applications running in the host machine instead of the Cartesi machine. So, the application developer doesn't need to be concerned with compiling their application to RISC-V. The application back-end should run in the developer's machine and call the Rollup HTTP API to process advance and inspect inputs. NoNodo is a valuable development workflow help, but there are some caveats the developer must be aware of.
NoNodo uses the Anvil as the underlying Ethereum node. To install Anvil, read the instructions on the Foundry book.
npm i -g nonodo
Download the binaries from the relase page.
Installing NoNodo using the go install
command is possible.
To use this command, install Go following the instructions on the Go website.
Then, run the command below to install NoNodo.
go install github.com/calindra/nonodo@latest
The command above installs NoNodo into the bin
directory inside the directory defined by the GOPATH
environment variable.
If you don't set the GOPATH
variable, the default install location is $HOME/go/bin
.
So, to call the nonodo
command directly, you should add it to the PATH
variable.
The command below exemplifies that.
export PATH="$HOME/go/bin:$PATH"
To start NoNodo with the default configuration, run the command below.
nonodo
With the default configuration, NoNodo starts an Anvil node with the Cartesi Rollups contracts deployed.
NoNodo uses the same deployment used by sunodo, so the contract addresses are the same.
NoNodo offers some flags to configure Anvil, starting with --anvil-*
.
NoNodo exposes the Cartesi Rollups GraphQL (/graphql
) and Inspect (/inspect
) APIs for the application front-end, and the Rollup (http://127.0.0.1:5004/finish
) API for the application back-end.
NoNodo uses the HTTP address and port set by the --http-address
and --http-port
flags.
By default, NoNodo binds to the http://127.0.0.1:8080/
address.
To display the contract addresses, run:
nonodo address-book
The image above illustrates the interaction between NoNodo, Anvil, and the application front-end and back-end.
NoNodo can run the application back-end as a sub-process.
If this process exits, NoNodo will also stop its execution.
This option is helpful to keep the whole development context in a single terminal.
To use this option, pass the command to run the application after --
.
nonodo -- ./my-app
NoNodo has a built-in echo application that generates a voucher, a notice, and a report for each advance input.
The echo also generates a report for each inspect input.
This option is useful when testing the application front-end without a working back-end.
To start NoNodo with the built-in echo application, use the --enable-echo
flag.
nonodo --enable-echo
This is useful for searching for more behavior as described in this README.
You can see any additional flags or commands with --help
like:
nonodo --help
You can increase the default timeout by passing a flag. Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".
nonodo --sm-deadline-advance-state 30s --sm-deadline-inspect-state 30s
To send an input to the Cartesi application, you may use cast, a command-line tool from the foundry
package. For instance, the invocation below sends an input with contents 0xdeadbeef
to the running
application.
INPUT=0xdeadbeef; \
INPUT_BOX_ADDRESS=0x58Df21fE097d4bE5dCf61e01d9ea3f6B81c2E1dB; \
APPLICATION_ADDRESS=0xab7528bb862fb57e8a2bcd567a2e929a0be56a5e; \
cast send \
--mnemonic "test test test test test test test test test test test junk" \
--rpc-url "http://localhost:8545" \
$INPUT_BOX_ADDRESS "addInput(address,bytes)(bytes32)" $APPLICATION_ADDRESS $INPUT
NoNodo exposes the GraphQL reader API in the endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8080/graphql
.
You may access this address to use the GraphQL interactive playground in your web browser.
You can also make POST requests directly to the GraphQL API.
For instance, the command below gets the number of inputs.
QUERY='query { inputs { totalCount } }'; \
curl \
-X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d "{\"query\": \"$QUERY\"}" \
http://127.0.0.1:8080/graphql
NoNodo exposes the Inspect API in the endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8080/inspect
.
Like the Rollups Node, you may send inspect requests with GET or POST methods.
For instance, the command below sends an inspect input with payload hi
to NoNodo.
curl -X POST -d "hi" http://127.0.0.1:8080/inspect
NoNodo can connect to an external Ethereum node instead of setting up a local Anvil node.
To do so, pass the RPC URL to the --rpc-url
command-line parameter.
When connecting to an external node, you must pass the input-box deployment block number to the parameter --contracts-input-box-block
.
As an example, the command below reads all the inputs sent to the echo application on the Sepolia test net.
nonodo \
--enable-echo \
--contracts-application-address 0x9f12D4365806FC000D6555ACB85c5371b464E506 \
--contracts-input-box-address 0x59b22D57D4f067708AB0c00552767405926dc768 \
--contracts-input-box-block 3963384 \
--rpc-url wss://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/$ALCHEMY_API_KEY
Start a PostGres instance locally, "cd" to db folder and use docker-compose.yml example. Set PostGres connection details using environment variables
export POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
export POSTGRES_PORT=5432
export POSTGRES_DB=mydatabase
export POSTGRES_USER=myuser
export POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword
When running nonodo, set flag db-implementation with the value postgres
Graphile can be called using http://localhost:5001/graphql
and you can test queries using http://localhost:5001/graphiql
You can change Graphile address and port using the flags graphile-url.
/nonodo --graphile-url http://mygraphileaddress:5034
