We are proud to announce the new release of a Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain Browser open source web application. This application utility allows developers and operators of Hyperledger blockchain networks to have visibility into transactions and blocks as they are added to the network.

The KHS Blockchain Browser is a React/Node.js web application that…
Let’s say you’ve stepped into a React application to make some updates or been involved in building one yourself. You have been at it a while, and feel somewhat comfortable using React, you understand React’s lifecycle and you may be using React libraries like Redux or MobX to some extent.
As with any technology, you start to notice that a few of the pages are looking a little slow. You know performance tuning too early is often a bad idea, but you feel like you might be at that point. After all, in your experience, end users notice even small lags and no one wants that. So what do you do now?
In this blog, I introduce six tips for improving performance and design in your React application.
There are many options when it comes to managing the state of a React application. Choosing the right one for your application can feel daunting.
The most popular choice, Redux, is often thought of as verbose because it requires a lot of boilerplate code, thus slowing down development. Redux is also very opinionated so it will take time for those unfamiliar with its functional programming paradigm to become comfortable with it.
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at an alternative that aims to solve issues in React application state: MobX. To do that, I built a simple calorie counter application that will be used to showcase MobX in use.
I have been with Keyhole Software for nearly four years. Every time I write a new blog post it is about a new framework that I had to pick up and learn that year.
I write a lot of JavaScript daily, but previously never had the chance to start coding a project with React. But this year, I worked on a project with React. So as expected, I wanted to share my thoughts and my experiences with React.
In this post, I will give a quick introduction to React and talk about its main, most important, components. We will also take a peek at JSX and explain it, and show some code examples, which will help you have a better understanding of this library before you can move on to more complex things…
In the last few years, React has continuously gained popularity for the development of web applications. At Keyhole, we have several blogs talking about React and related technologies, including React, Formik, react-router, and many others.
So why would we need Redux? Quite often when we develop applications, we start with small pieces. As the business requirements change, new features/modules/components are added/removed/updated. Particularly in enterprise applications, you may end up with a deep hierarchy of parent-child relationships.
In a React application, parent component-states are passed down to its child component as property. Application states can be changed in many different places. If not managed perfectly (and, in many cases, it’s not), your system can behave differently than expected. It can become increasingly difficult for development, debugging, production support and code maintenance.
In this blog, I’ll talk about Redux and explain how it can benefit React front-end development. I’ll provide an introduction to using Redux with React and show a demonstration of reconstructing an example React application to React + Redux.
I’ll re-construct this React application into two projects. The first project will be the back-end server application which will handle all the typical business in the server end, like registration, authentication, database operation, etc. I’ll use MongoDB to persistent data and Node.js for REST API development. You can also reference RESTful API development to the Github repository open source khs-convo, released by Keyhole Software.
The second project will be pure front-end development, which will React with Redux for state management. React with Redux integration is the focus of this blog…
