BlockReader

BlockReader application extract and showcase the complete data structure of a Block that contains several details for a transaction. The application will require a transaction id to query the ledger to retrieve the associated block. Then the application will follow the Block data structure to read the content of the Block.

Run the application

1. Compile the application using following commands

   cd /go/src/github.com/blockreader
   go build            
   

   You can see blockreader executable is generated.

2. Now type following commands to read the Block.

    ./blockreader -txnId="cd2b072c880cdefbea66c5f9d73a5a5eb3c3977e77772fba42cec59204ca2980" -channelId="employeeledger"            
    -txnId : The transaction id to be query to retrieve the Block for that transaction from the ledger.
    -channelId: The network ChannelId
   

3. After that, you will see the Block details in a JSON format.
