LionGov

Website: https://www.liongov.io/

v2.0 - React frontend and new interface
v1.2 - basic proposals feature; fixed double voting problem; additional security stuff (signature verification)
v1.1 - Integrated @imsys' code to do vote weight calculation; store vote weight in database and display on site.
v1.0 - Web app that signs votes and stores in database; thanks @imsys for authentication and vote calculation code! need to integrate the vote calculation part still

Setting the server

Moralis API key

Grap a Moralis API key and export them as an environmental variable. Save it in your ~/.bashrc

export MORALIS_SERVER_URL=
export MORALIS_APP_ID=

It's possible to cache the voting points weight and save stressing Moralis servers. Just set LIONGOV_CACHE_TIME to the time in seconds you believe to be necessary. It will store in DynamoDB. If you prefer to store in Redis, just set LIONGOV_CACHE_REDIS with the connection string to the server, and the app will use it instead of DynamoDB. In caching (TTL - Time to live), Redis is much more time precise than DynamoDB, in Dynamo it may take some more minutes than what is set in the configuration.

export LIONGOV_CACHE_TIME=600   # 10 minutes
export LIONGOV_CACHE_REDIS=redis://localhost

DynamoDB database

• To use it, create an account in AWS, you can use it the Free Tier while developing.

• You can then set up the credentions locally by installing AWS CLI and running aws configure. Or just by setting the credentials in config files.

If you install the AWS CLI, you can quickly set up all the tables with the following commands:

Votes Table:

aws dynamodb create-table --table-name Votes --attribute-definitions \
        AttributeName=VoteClass,AttributeType=S \
        AttributeName=WalletAddress,AttributeType=S \
	AttributeName=CreationTime,AttributeType=S \
    --key-schema \
        AttributeName=VoteClass,KeyType=HASH \
        AttributeName=WalletAddress,KeyType=RANGE \
    --global-secondary-indexes \
        IndexName=VoteClass-CreationTime-index,KeySchema=["\
{AttributeName=VoteClass,KeyType=HASH}","\
{AttributeName=CreationTime,KeyType=RANGE}"],\
Projection="{ProjectionType=ALL}",ProvisionedThroughput="\
{ReadCapacityUnits=1,WriteCapacityUnits=1}"\
    --provisioned-throughput \
        ReadCapacityUnits=1,WriteCapacityUnits=1

Proposals Table:

aws dynamodb create-table --table-name Proposals --attribute-definitions \
        AttributeName=VoteClass,AttributeType=S \
        AttributeName=ProposalId,AttributeType=S \
    --key-schema \
        AttributeName=VoteClass,KeyType=HASH \
    --provisioned-throughput \
        ReadCapacityUnits=1,WriteCapacityUnits=1

Cache Table: (Optional)

aws dynamodb create-table --table-name Cache --attribute-definitions \
        AttributeName=Key,AttributeType=S \
    --key-schema \
        AttributeName=Key,KeyType=HASH \
    --provisioned-throughput \
        ReadCapacityUnits=1,WriteCapacityUnits=1

Set Cache TTL attribute.

aws dynamodb update-time-to-live --table-name Cache --time-to-live-specification "Enabled=true, AttributeName=ttl"

Building dependencies and starting the service

• yarn - Build the dependencies
• yarn build - Do the webpack build process
• yarn start - Start the service

Debugging / development mode

Open two console instanses:

• Run the server with yarn debug. You can debug the server side by going to Google Chorme (or Chromium) chrome://inspect/, there should appear an "inspect" option there under "Remote Target".
• Run the front end with yarn dev and open the browser at http://localhost:8080/ you should be able to develop/debug using javascript source files. (unminified)
