gnodev

Gnodev allows for quick and efficient development of Gno code.

By watching your development directory, gnodev detects changes in your Gno code, reflecting them in the state of the node immediately. Gnodev also runs a local instance of gnoweb, allowing you to see the rendering of your Gno code instantly.

Features

• In-Memory Node: Gnodev starts an in-memory node, and automatically loads the examples folder and any user-specified paths.
• Web Interface Server: Gnodev automatically starts a gnoweb server on localhost:8888.
• Hot Reload: Gnodev monitors the examples folder and any specified for file changes, reloading and automatically restarting the node as needed.
• State Maintenance: Gnodev replays all transactions in between reloads, ensuring the previous node state is preserved.

Installation

Gnodev can be found in the contribs folder in the monorepo. To install gnodev, run make install.

Usage

Gnodev can be run from anywhere on the machine it was installed on, and it will automatically load the examples folder, providing all the packages and realms found in it for use.

For hot reloading, gnodev watches the examples folder, as well as any specified folder:

gnodev ./myrealm

While gnodev is running, the following shortcuts are available:

• To reload manually, press R.
• To reset the state of the node, press CMD+R.
• To see help, press H.
• To stop gnodev, press CMD+C.

Options

Flag	Effect
--minimal	Start gnodev without loading the examples folder.
--no-watch	Disable hot reload.
