Internet Computer: Ecosystem Stats

This is a WIP open source canister which will contain stats for the adoption of the Internet Computer so other apps can query and use the data.

Data Available in the this canister:

• Canisters deployed to the IC: https://ic.rocks/charts/canisters
• Motoko repos on Github
• Members on developer forum: https://forum.dfinity.org/
• Grants submitted to the DFINITY foundation: https://dfinity.org/grants/

Running the project locally

If you want to test your project locally, you can use the following commands:

# Starts the replica, running in the background
dfx start --background

# Deploys your canisters to the replica and generates your candid interface
dfx deploy

Once the job completes, your application will be available at http://localhost:8000?canisterId={asset_canister_id}.

Additionally, if you are making frontend changes, you can start a development server with

npm start

Which will start a server at http://localhost:8080, proxying API requests to the replica at port 8000.

Note on frontend environment variables

If you are hosting frontend code somewhere without using DFX, you may need to make one of the following adjustments to ensure your project does not fetch the root key in production:

• setNODE_ENV to production if you are using Webpack
• use your own preferred method to replace process.env.NODE_ENV in the autogenerated declarations
• Write your own createActor constructor
