asal-reviews

Our Online Review Creation/Management solution using Blockchain named "AsalReviews"

We have three folders for three different layers

Network

This folder contains all Hyperledger Fabric related cryptographic material, channel artifacts, genesis block,chaincode and docker-compose YAML files.

asal-reviews-api

This folder is a Web server based on Node.js and Express.js framework. It facilitates following things -

• Acts like a Web server that wraps all the Fabric interaction logic as REST API (GET, POST endpoints).
  
• Acts as client for Fabric network by using Fabric-Client NODE SDK
  
• Bridge between an user interface layer and fabric network layer.

asal-reviews-ui

This folder is Customer's interface developed using Angular 6. This consumes REST API to contact with Web server.
