"Hello, World!" Quickstart Guide

Write and deploy your first Koii task.

Hello World is a project that demonstrates how to build and deploy a Koii task using the Task-Template (written in JavaScript).

Getting Started

The first step is to clone the Task-template:

$ git clone https://github.com/koii-network/task-template.git hello-world
$ cd hello-world

tip

Make sure you have node, npm, and yarn installed before going forward.

index.js — is the hub of your app, and ties together the other pieces. This will be the entry point when your task runs on task nodes.
namespaceWrappers.js — contains the interfaces to make API calls to the core of the task-node. It contains all the necessary functions required to submit and audit the work, as well as the distribution lists. Check here to learn more Namespace functions.
coreLogic.js — is where you'll define your task, audit, and distribution logic, and controls the majority of task functionality. You can of course break out separate features into sub-files and import them into the core logic before web-packing.

There are in total 9 methods in CoreLogic which you can modify according to your needs:

Method	Description
`task()`	The logic for what your task should do goes here.
`fetchSubmission()`	After completing the task, the results/work will be stored either on IPFS or NeDB. This method fetches the results/work from where it was stored.
`submitTask()`	This method calls a `namespace` method and submits the task's results/work to K2.
`generateDistributionList()`	This method contains the logic to generate a distribution list. We have provided a sample logic that rewards 1 KOII to all the nodes with valid submissions for that round.
`submitDistributionList()`	Makes a call to a `namespace` method of the task-node to upload the distribution list to K2
`validateNode()`	This method contains logic to verify a node's submission value.
`validateDistribution()`	The logic to validate the distribution list goes here and the method will receive the distribution list submitted from the task-state.
`auditTask()`	Makes a call to the `namespace` of task-node to raise an audit against the submission value if the validation fails.
`auditDistribution()`	Makes a call to the `namespace` of task-node to raise an audit against the distribution list if the validation fails.

Now that's out of the way, let's move forward to writing the task.
