— How to execute contract in UI
— * Also, sample javascript code using blockapps.js is shared at location C:\Programming_BlocApps\app\indexBlockChain-HelloWorld.html
— * We can use this code from UI point of view and do the necessary integration
— ================================================
Once the server is started using command “bloc start” then run following URL http://localhost:8008/contracts in browser and click on “Generate HTML”

— Issues Faced/Resolved
— ================================================
(1) How to Check Versions of Node and NPM
C:\Programming_BlocApps>npm -v
3.10.5
C:\Programming_BlocApps>node -v
v5.7.0
(2) Unable to start the server using command :- bloc start
[Comments also updated at URL:-https://github.com/blockapps/bloc/issues/185]
Steps followed for Resolution:-
(a) C:\Programming_BlocApps>node app.js start
module.js:341
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module './tatus/template'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:339:15)
at Function.require.resolve (internal/module.js:23:19)
at create (C:\Programming_BlocApps\app\components\contracts\template.marko.js:10:46)
at Object.Template.c (C:\Programming_BlocApps\node_modules\marko\runtime\marko-runtime.js:103:18)
at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Programming_BlocApps\app\components\contracts\template.marko.js:37:51)
(b) Edit/Update a file :- C:\Programming_BlocApps\app\components\contracts\template.marko.js
...
...
___contractFunctionsCall_template = __helpers.l(require.resolve("../contractFunctionsCall/template"));
//___tatus_template = __helpers.l(require.resolve("../tatus/template"));
...
...
//___tatus_template.render({"contractMeta": data.contractMeta, "apiURL": data.apiURL}, out);
...
...
(c) C:\Programming_BlocApps>bloc start
bloc is listening on http://0.0.0.0:8000
api is pointed to http://strato-dev4.blockapps.net with profile strato-dev
(3) How to see contract in UI?
Once the server is started using command “bloc start” then run following URL http://localhost:8008/contracts in browser
(4) How to change the port for server in node.js?
It could be done by modifying the port settings in file C:\Programming_BlocApps\app.js
At line no. 45, we do have the port number specifications i.e. given below
var port = process.env.PORT || 8000;
(5) Any online tool for compilation of Solidity code?
Code could be compiled at https://ethereum.github.io/browser-solidity/
