How to test the plugin on whatsonchain.com

1. Go to https://whatsonchain.com/ and then select 'Manage Plugins' link from the tools menu.
2. For this example select 'Block' from the decoder type drop down.
3. For this example lets name the plugin 'Block Anim'.
4. For the webhook url field use the following placeholder url http://localhost:3000/block-decode/{network}/anim/{blockhash} (Make sure you have the application running locally. In reality this will be the using the deployed url rather then running from localhost).
5. For the preview hash use an actual blockhash from mainnet. For this example you can use: 000000000000000002c7b29b04ec4431c380751463c6b3cb23f6fad414de8fe7.
6. The remaining fields you can fill in however you wish.
7. Make sure you have the example application running and then select the save button. You should be able to see a preview.

If you go to the any block page like https://whatsonchain.com/block-height/782095 you should now see a tab called 'Block Anim' which will allow you to view the decoder. As information is stored in local storage only you can view this on the browser you added the plugin to.

Publishing the plugin

To make this plugin accessible to all user's on WhatsOnchain the decoder application will need to be published (Assuming at this point that your application is already deployed). You can then follow the instructions on how to publish by going to 'manage plugins' link on WhatsOnchain then clicking on the burger menu icon to the right of the plugin menu item named 'Block Anim' and selecting publish.

All the instructions will be presented to you on how to then publish the plugin.
