GraphSense Dashboard

GraphSense’s Web GUI for interactive cryptocurrency analysis written in Elm.

Requirements

• NodeJS
• pre-commit

Configuration

Run cp config/Config.elm.tmp config/Config.elm and optionally configure plugins and your custom theme here.

Install plugins

1. Place plugins in the plugins folder.
2. Run make clean-generated-plugins && make
3. Configure the plugin in config/Config.elm, eg:

import Myplugin
...
plugins : Plugin.Plugins
plugins =
    Plugin.empty
    |> Plugin.myplugin (Myplugin.plugin {- plugin specific arguments here -})

Development setup

Run make serve. It starts Vite’s development server.

Production build

Run make build. It builds the app together with all configured plugins to ./dist.

Develop plugins

Bootstrapping

Use plugin_stub as a starting point: cp -r plugin_stub plugins/myplugin

The name of the plugin is case insensitive. Elm package name of the plugin is the plugin name with the first letter capitalized, eg. Myplugin.

Adapt the stub accordingly:

• rename ./Stub, ./Stub.elm and stub.js to your plugin’s name. Keep the respective capitalization.
• replace Stub in the stub Elm files with your plugin’s Elm package.

Place plugin specific dependencies in plugin’s ./dependencies.txt.

Development

Plugins can hook into the dashboard functionality in order to extend it.

Plugin’s hook implementations need to be set in your plugin’s root module which was derived from ./Stub.elm.
Please see the comments in the respective files of ./src/PluginInterface for detailed documentation.
