  • Click on any block to view more details.
  • Click on any transaction hash to view detailed transaction information, including gas used and transaction status.

Components

App.jsx:

  • App.jsx is the main component that initializes the ethers.js provider, fetches block data from the Ethereum mainnet, and manages the selected block and transaction states. It renders BlockList, BlockDetails, and TransactionDetails based on user interactions.

BlockList.jsx:

  • BlockList.jsx displays the latest 18 blocks as clickable buttons. Each button shows the block number, and clicking a block will load its details in BlockDetails.

BlockDetails.jsx:

  • BlockDetails.jsx displays details about the selected block, including its timestamp, miner, and transactions. Each transaction hash is displayed as a button, which when clicked, shows transaction details in TransactionDetails.

TransactionDetails.jsx:

  • TransactionDetails.jsx shows detailed information about the selected transaction, such as the block number, sender, receiver, gas used, and status of the transaction (success or failure).

Technologies Used

  • React.js: JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
  • Vite: Next-generation frontend tool for fast and optimized builds.
  • Ethers.jsx: A library for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain.
  • Alchemy API: Used to fetch data from the Ethereum blockchain.
