Description

Flowview is an account inspection tool on Flow, by using it you can:

• List all the keys of the account, and create / revoke key if you are authed
• List all the FungibleTokens and the balance in your account
• List all the NFT collections in your account.
• Check the detail of specific NFT collection and NFT.
• List all the public / private paths in the account, show the interfaces and the target resource of the capability with good UI. And if you are authed, you can unlink them.
• List all the storage paths in the account, show the resources / structs in the path. You can check the details about the resources / structs, and destory resource if you are authed.
• Support mainnet, testnet and emulator, developers can easily use it to check the items in the account.

Now I'm going to add some features to Flowview, so I submit this to seek for support from grant program

Problem statement

• Target audience

Developers and common users on Flow

• Evidence for the need

I'm going to make flowview another flow-view-source with latest Flow/Cadence features and better UI. I like flow-view-source, it helps me a lot, but it's not actively maintained now. And I know now we have https://f.dnz.dev, a great flow-view-source fork, but just like some developers like vim, and some developers like VSCode, I want to make a viewer with better UI to make it both benefit the developers and common users.

Proposed solution

The main features I'm going to add are:

• Contract. A contract module with better syntax highlighting and dependencies list
• Transaction Viewer. Show the details of a transaction
• Block Viewer. Show the details of a block
• Integrate some new stuff on Flow, like Switchboard etc
• Support Sandbox net
• A bookmark function to make it easier to track multiple accounts during testing.

Impact

• In what ways does this benefit the broader Flow developer ecosystem?

• Bring the developers and common users on Flow a well maintained and easy to use viewer, improve their experience.
