Hyperledger Composer

This tutorial is inspired by the two tutorials linked at the end of this page.

Prerequisites

Tools:

npm install -g composer-cli
npm install -g composer-rest-server
npm install -g generator-hyperledger-composer
npm install -g yo

Hyperledger Fabric:

mkdir ~/fabric-tools && cd ~/fabric-tools
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/composer-tools/master/packages/fabric-dev-servers/fabric-dev-servers.zip
unzip fabric-dev-servers.zip

cd ~/fabric-tools
./downloadFabric.sh

Launch some Fabric dockers

cd ~/fabric-tools
./startFabric.sh

Generate a business network structure

yo hyperledger-composer:businessnetwork

• Enter tutorial-network for the network name, and desired information for description, author name, and author email.
• Select Apache-2.0 as the license.
• Select org.acme.biznet as the namespace.

Defining a business network

A business network is made up of assets, participants, transactions, access control rules, and optionally events and queries. In the skeleton business network created in the previous steps, there is a model (.cto) file which will contain the class definitions for all assets, participants, and transactions in the business network. The skeleton business network also contains an access control (permissions.acl) document with basic access control rules, a script (logic.js) file containing transaction processor functions, and a package.json file containing business network metadata.

The first document to update is the model (.cto) file. This file is written using the Hyperledger Composer Modelling Language. The model file contains the definitions of each class of asset, transaction, participant, and event. It implicitly extends the Hyperledger Composer System Model described in the modelling language documentation.

Open the org.acme.biznet.cto model file to edit it.

The transaction processor function file contains the JavaScript logic to execute the transactions defined in the model file.

Open the logic.js script file to edit 

Adding access control (optionnal)

• Create a permissions.acl file in the tutorial-network directory.
• Add the following access control rules to permissions.acl:

 /**
 * Access control rules for tutorial-network
 */
 rule Default {
    description: "Allow all participants access to all resources"
    participant: "ANY"
    operation: ALL
    resource: "org.acme.biznet.*"
    action: ALLOW
 }

 rule SystemACL {
   description:  "System ACL to permit all access"
   participant: "ANY"
   operation: ALL
   resource: "org.hyperledger.composer.system.**"
   action: ALLOW
 }

Generate a business network archive

Now that the business network has been defined, it must be packaged into a deployable business network archive (.bna) file. From the tutorial-network directory, run the following command:

composer archive create -t dir -n .

Deploying the business network

composer runtime install --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --businessNetworkName tutorial-network
composer network start --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --networkAdmin admin --networkAdminEnrollSecret adminpw --archiveFile tutorial-network@0.0.1.bna --file networkadmin.card
composer card import --file networkadmin.card
composer network ping --card admin@tutorial-network

Generating a REST server

composer-rest-server

• admin@tutorial-network
• never use namespaces
• No
• Yes
• No

Congratulation !

You should see this result in your browser :-)
