Generate simple html website from orderbook #1495

Closed kilrau closed 4 years ago

kilrau commented 4 years ago

Step 1:

create a simple .html website with some JS connecting to xud's webproxy endpoint
features: pair switcher (default to btc/usdt), orderbook buy/sell, node alias, node advertised address (pubkey@hostname:port), connected peers count
use https://api.exchangeunion.com/#subscribeorders to show showing the current local orderbook of a node
color scheme should be dark (e.g. like this, or grey/orange OpenDEX colors)
needs external webserver like nginx/apache to host this

Step 2:

add an (default false) config option to enable (orderbook ui) container which includes nginx to host this
add price chart, visual depth and other fancy things

What is the goal? An easy display into the OpenDEX network, a way to show the public what's going on on the network by clicking on a link, e.g. ob.kilrau.com will host the orderbook of my mainnet node.

What is not the goal? A performanet web UI to control xud, a trade UI. It is display only.

Idea for architecture: daemon listening to xud subscribeorders on machine -> EventSource HTTP stream -> frontend listening to stream

We could do some light research if we can use grpc-web to subscribeorders directly in the future. At the moment this would also require that we have read-only macaroons because we wouldn't want the client being able to access other gRPC calls.

For now subscribeorders -> wrapper service -> client/frontend would be the easiest to implement.

Something for you? @hatmer

Something reusable from the exchange orderbook UI you built a while ago? @reliveyy

@kilrau I'd like to give is a try in watchdog container which combines my previous created reactjs app in the later PRs in xud-docker repo.

hatmer commented 4 years ago

macaroons can be JSON serialized and grpc-web allows for custom headers, so Karl's idea would work

hatmer commented 4 years ago

@reliveyy you could use JSON-serialized macaroons from reactjs too

I like https://github.com/ExchangeUnion/xud/issues/1495#issuecomment-618246954.

Interested in taking the xud "backend" part of this one? @hatmer @reliveyy can provide a simple orderbook frontend he already cooked a while ago I think :)

hatmer commented 4 years ago

Yes sure, it will go nicely with the macaroons project
