private-publication

This is an intermidiate Holochain training, with step by step exercises and their tests.

It consists of a private publication hApp that has already been implemented, but only its backend.

Your goals

Your goal is to re-implement this private publication happ, one step at a time.

To do that, go into EXERCISES.md and follow its instructions. Have fun!

Environment Setup

1. Install the holochain dev environment: https://developer.holochain.org/docs/install/

2. Clone this repo and cd inside of it.

3. Enter the nix shell by running this in the root folder of the repository:

nix develop
npm install

This will install all the needed dependencies in your local environment, including holochain, hc and npm.

Run all the other instructions in this README from inside this nix develop shell, otherwise they won't work.

Testing

npm test
