Practical overview
When it fits
Use it to explore or develop a medical-record application prototype using Ethereum contracts and the repository's documented test-network workflow.
Who it is for
- Developers exploring blockchain-backed medical-record applications.
- People who want to run the project and inspect its test and Solidity compile/deploy workflows.
Documented uses
- Run the medical-record application with a MetaMask wallet configured for the documented test network.
- Run the repository's test command.
- Compile and deploy Solidity code after contract changes.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under MIT. The setup instructions specify the MetaMask browser extension and Rinkeby test network.
- The documented setup is tied to MetaMask and Rinkeby.
- The README provides start, test, compile, and deploy commands, but only briefly describes the app workflow.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Rinkeby demo and start the app
Prepare the documented MetaMask test-network setup and start the application.
Before you start
- MetaMask browser extension
- Rinkeby test-network selection
- Test ETH from a Rinkeby faucet
Steps
Install the MetaMask browser extension.
Set the wallet to the Rinkeby test network.
Get ETH from a Rinkeby faucet.
Run the command below.
npm run start
Expected outcome
The repository's application start command is run with the documented test-network wallet setup.
Guide limitations
- The README does not specify further application interaction steps.
- The instructions describe the Rinkeby test-network workflow.
Compile and deploy after Solidity changes
Run the repository's documented compile and deploy commands after modifying Solidity code.
Before you start
- The project repository
- A Solidity code change
Steps
Change to the
ethereumdirectory.Run the command below.
node compile.jsRun the command below.
node deploy.js
Expected outcome
The documented compile and deploy commands are run for the Solidity changes.
Guide limitations
- The README does not describe deployment configuration or additional prerequisites.
