Simplifying Hyperledger Fabric(v2.5) Network Setup: Generate Custom Boilerplate Code Instantly
Setting up a custom Hyperledger Fabric network from scratch can be complex and time-consuming, especially when configuring multiple organizations, channels, and chain codes. To solve this problem, I developed a web application that automates boilerplate code generation for Hyperledger Fabric networks. This tool simplifies network setup and gets developers up and running quickly with a custom network, blockchain explorer, performance monitoring, and basic asset management API.
Here’s a look at how this tool works and why it’s a valuable asset for Hyperledger Fabric developers and enthusiasts alike.

Why I Built This Tool
As more industries turn to blockchain for secure and transparent solutions, developers are increasingly tasked with setting up custom networks that meet specific requirements. However, manually configuring Hyperledger Fabric is both time-intensive and prone to errors. I created this web application to streamline this process and give developers a powerful, automated solution for building custom Hyperledger Fabric networks.
Key Features of the Application
1. Customizable Network Configuration
Users can tailor their Hyperledger Fabric network by specifying the number of organizations, channels, and chaincode. With a few selections, the application automatically generates code that’s ready to deploy, helping users avoid common configuration pitfalls.
2. Automated Code for Blockchain Network
This application provides all the essential files to set up a fully functional Hyperledger Fabric network, including configurations for organizations, channels, and consensus mechanisms.
3. Integrated Blockchain Explorer
Keeping track of your network’s transactions and blocks is crucial. This tool includes Blockchain Explorer integration, so you can easily visualize and monitor your network data.
4. Performance Testing with Caliper
Testing network performance is often challenging without the right tools. With Caliper support, this application allows users to benchmark and monitor their network’s transaction throughput, latency, and resource usage.
5. Asset Creation API
The application also generates a basic API for asset management, letting developers quickly create, update, or query assets in the ledger, which is particularly useful for prototyping or building simple blockchain solutions.
How It Works
- Define Network Parameters: Specify the number of organizations, channels, and chain codes you need. Customize the setup to match your requirements.
- Generate Code: With one click, generate all necessary configuration and code files. These include network configuration files, chaincode templates, Caliper setup, and API.
- Deploy and Test: The generated code can be deployed on your preferred infrastructure. The Caliper and Explorer integrations enable you to monitor network performance and Visualize Blockchain transactions effortlessly on UI.
- Customize Further: Once generated, the code can be modified to fit specific needs, allowing users to expand and adapt the network as required.
