Coding A Serverless Website with Javascript Only--Powered by ΦFAI Browser

[fai]

 ΦFAI is a decentralized p2p content sharing system with web browser GUI.

With FAI, websites or appliacations can be built by Javascript only  and run serverless.

 The key points for a FAI browser to acheive this magic are:

1 Duplication of ΦDB in every node/client instead of storing on server. 

2 DNS of website rediection to ΦDB instead of to server.

3 Account creation by users instead of regitration on server.

4 All operation commands signed by users and saved in ΦDB.

5 Powerful API that enables web pages to access the ΦDB instead of interaction with server.

6 Web pages authorized full access to Internet.

 

 

The built-in FAI Shop is a very good example to show how the magic works:

1 Seller creates its account. 

2 Seller publishes a product by signing a transaction with product data with its account. The product data will be stored in the ΦDB and copied to every user.

3 Buyer views the product in ΦShop web page by searching through ΦDB.

4 Buyer places an order by signing a transaction with Φcoins sent to seller and purchase information like product link, quantity ,shipment address,etc. This purchase transaction will be stored in the ΦDB and copied to every user.

5 The seller receives the purchase transaction by searching through the ΦDB. (Delivery of order is not a problem.)

6 As plus, seller and buyer can chat via serverless Φmessenger. And digital products can be delivered by Φmessenger.

 

How to build a serverless website:

1 Download and install ΦFAI browser. (www.f-a-i.net)

2 Program in html,css and JS with ΦAPIs. The ΦAPI file(fai-api.js) can be found at <datadir>/appdata/browser/js folder.

3  Publish to ΦDB. 

3.1 Get some faicoins. Currently gathering coins to publish an app only needs one computer mining for 1 day. 

3.2 Publish all files of app to ΦDB. There's a batch-publish function in Φpublisher.

3.3 Make and publish the package file.It's a  list of blockchain links of files in the app, in json format.(Example: <datadir>/appdata/browser/package.json )(The links of files can be found at 'my page')

3.4 Register a domain and redirect it to the blockchain link of package file.

3.5 As plus, do some promotions on FAI system.(Send as many contents as you want,txt ,pic, vedio,etc)
