The transaction logger takes care of intercepting any responses coming from the
blockchain proxy, determines what response it's dealing with and then extracts
information from the response to output useful log information to the user, such as
when a contract methods has been called etc.
It turned out that it didn't properly handle cases where value transactions
from account to account (such as done here in [Status Teller](a5ab4d4b26/embarkConfig/data.js (L100-L110))) have been made.
Since Embark couldn't map any of those accounts to actual contracts, while
still having stored corresponding transactions, it logged them as transactions
from "Unknown Smart Contracts".
This commit ensures via heuristics that, if the address a transactions is sent to is
included in any of the nodes accounts, the transaction logger logs a useful message
that a certain value is sent from one to anover account.
What is Embark
Embark is a framework that allows you to easily develop and deploy Decentralized Applications (DApps).
A Decentralized Application is a serverless html5 application that uses one or more decentralized technologies.
Embark currently integrates with EVM blockchains (Ethereum), Decentralized Storages (IPFS), and Decentralized communication platforms (Whisper and Orbit). Swarm is supported for deployment.
With Embark you can:
Blockchain (Ethereum)
- Automatically deploy contracts and make them available in your JS code. Embark watches for changes, and if you update a contract, Embark will automatically redeploy the contracts (if needed) and the dapp.
- Contracts are available in JS with Promises.
- Do Test Driven Development with Contracts using Javascript.
- Keep track of deployed contracts; deploy only when truly needed.
- Manage different chains (e.g testnet, private net, livenet)
- Easily manage complex systems of interdependent contracts.
Decentralized Storage (IPFS, Swarm)
- Easily Store & Retrieve Data on the DApp through EmbarkJS. Including uploading and retrieving files.
- Deploy the full application to IPFS or Swarm.
- Import and deploy contracts hosted on Swarm.
Decentralized Communication (Whisper, Orbit)
- Easily send/receive messages through channels in P2P through Whisper or Orbit.
Web Technologies
- Integrate with any web technology including React, Foundation, etc..
- Use any build pipeline or tool you wish, including grunt, gulp and webpack.
