UI

Overview

The uiFOSSA StatusNode.js CI repository contains the source code for the official user interface of the Polygon Open-Source Project. This user interface allows users to interact with the Polygon core instance.

Features

• Local Execution: Users can run the Polygon’s UI locally by setting environment variables in a .env.local file.
• Environment Variables: Users need to set the POLYGON_CORE_URL variable, which is the URL of the Polygon core instance, and the IRON_SESSION_SECRET variable, a 512-bit random string for cookie encryption.
• Production Build: Users can also run an optimized production build of the UI.
• Cloud Deployment: Users can deploy their instance of Polygon’s UI to popular cloud providers like Netlify or Vercel. Deployment with these providers is made easy by clicking deployment buttons.

Installation

To run Polygon’s UI locally, follow these steps:

1. Set several environment variables in a .env.local file in the project’s root:

   • POLYGON_CORE_URL: The URL of your Polygon core instance.
   • IRON_SESSION_SECRET: A 512-bit random string for cookie encryption.

2. After setting the variables, run the following command to start the UI:
