Development Setup
1. Local Development Environment
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start development server
npm run dev
# Run tests
npm test
# Build project
npm run build
2. Development Tools
{
"devDependencies": {
"@types/jest": "^29.5.0",
"@types/node": "^18.15.11",
"jest": "^29.5.0",
"ts-jest": "^29.1.0",
"typescript": "^5.0.4"
}
}
Contributing Guidelines
1. Code Style
TypeScript Standards
// Use interfaces for plugin definitions
interface BlockchainPlugin {
connect(): Promise<void>;
disconnect(): Promise<void>;
// ... additional methods
}
// Use classes for implementations
class EthereumPlugin implements BlockchainPlugin {
private web3: Web3;
private contract: Contract;
constructor(config: EthereumConfig) {
// Implementation
}
}
Naming Conventions
- Use PascalCase for class names and interfaces
- Use camelCase for methods and variables
- Use UPPER_CASE for constants
- Use descriptive names that reflect purpose

3. Pull Request Process
- Create feature branch
- Implement changes
- Add tests
- Update documentation
- Submit PR with description
Testing
1. Unit Testing
// Example test suite
describe('AccessControl', () => {
let accessControl: AccessControl;
let blockchain: BlockchainPlugin;
beforeEach(() => {
blockchain = new MockBlockchainPlugin();
accessControl = new AccessControl(blockchain);
});
test('should grant access', async () => {
const result = await accessControl.grantAccess(
'did:example:123',
'did:example:456',
'testKey',
Date.now() + 3600000
);
expect(result).toBeTruthy();
});
});
2. Integration Testing
describe('Node Integration', () => {
let node: any;
beforeAll(async () => {
node = await runNode();
});
afterAll(async () => {
await node.stop();
});
test('should store and retrieve data', async () => {
const key = 'test_key';
const value = { test: 'data' };
await node.dataStore.setData(key, value);
const retrieved = await node.dataStore.getData(key);
expect(retrieved).toEqual(value);
});
});
3. Performance Testing
describe('Performance Tests', () => {
test('should handle multiple concurrent requests', async () => {
const requests = Array(100).fill(null).map(() =>
accessControl.grantAccess(
'did:example:123',
'did:example:456',
'testKey',
Date.now() + 3600000
)
);
const results = await Promise.all(requests);
expect(results.every(Boolean)).toBeTruthy();
});
});
Debugging
1. Debug Configuration
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug TravlrNode",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/index.ts",
"preLaunchTask": "tsc: build - tsconfig.json",
"outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js"],
"env": {
"DEBUG": "travlrnode:*"
}
}
]
}
2. Logging
const debug = require('debug')('travlrnode');
class BlockchainService {
async connect() {
debug('Connecting to blockchain...');
try {
// Connection logic
debug('Connected successfully');
} catch (error) {
debug('Connection failed:', error);
throw error;
}
}
}
Deployment
1. Build Process

Performance Optimization
1. Caching Strategies
class CacheManager {
private cache: Map<string, any>;
private ttl: number;
constructor(ttl: number = 3600000) {
this.cache = new Map();
this.ttl = ttl;
}
async get(key: string, fetchFn: () => Promise<any>) {
if (this.cache.has(key)) {
return this.cache.get(key);
}
const value = await fetchFn();
this.cache.set(key, value);
return value;
}
}
2. Memory Management
class MemoryManager {
private maxSize: number;
private currentSize: number;
constructor(maxSize: number) {
this.maxSize = maxSize;
this.currentSize = 0;
}
async cleanup() {
if (this.currentSize > this.maxSize) {
// Implement cleanup logic
}
}
}
Security Guidelines
1. Code Security
// Input validation
function validateInput(input: any): boolean {
// Implement validation logic
return true;
}
// Secure data handling
async function handleSensitiveData(data: any): Promise<void> {
// Implement secure handling
}
2. Authentication
class AuthenticationManager {
async validateToken(token: string): Promise<boolean> {
// Implement token validation
return true;
}
async generateToken(userId: string): Promise<string> {
// Implement token generation
return 'token';
}
}
Documentation
1. Code Documentation
/**
* Manages access control for data sharing
* @class AccessControl
*/
class AccessControl {
/**

* @param {string} granterDID - The DID of the access granter
* @param {string} granteeDID - The DID of the access grantee

* @returns {Promise<string>} The transaction hash
*/
async grantAccess(
granterDID: string,
granteeDID: string,
dataKey: string,
expirationTime: number
): Promise<string> {
// Implementation
