//! # Your first Node
//!
//! In this guide, you will learn how to run a runtime, such as the one created in
//! [`your_first_runtime`], in a node. Within the context of this guide, we will focus on running
//! the runtime with an [`omni-node`]. Please first read this page to learn about the OmniNode, and
//! other options when it comes to running a node.
//!
//! [`your_first_runtime`] is a runtime with no consensus related code, and therefore can only be
//! executed with a node that also expects no consensus ([`sc_consensus_manual_seal`]).
//! `polkadot-omni-node`'s [`--dev-block-time`] precisely does this.
//!
//! > All of the following steps are coded as unit tests of this module. Please see `Source` of the
//! > page for more information.
//!
//! ## Running The Omni Node
//!
//! ### Installs
//!
//! The `polkadot-omni-node` can either be downloaded from the latest [Release](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/releases/) of `polkadot-sdk`,
//! or installed using `cargo`:
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo install polkadot-omni-node
//! ```
//!
//! Next, we need to install the [`chain-spec-builder`]. This is the tool that allows us to build
//! chain-specifications, through interacting with the genesis related APIs of the runtime, as
//! described in [`crate::guides::your_first_runtime#genesis-configuration`].
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo install staging-chain-spec-builder
//! ```
//!
//! > The name of the crate is prefixed with `staging` as the crate name `chain-spec-builder` on
//! > crates.io is already taken and is not controlled by `polkadot-sdk` developers.
//!
//! ### Building Runtime
//!
//! Next, we need to build the corresponding runtime that we wish to interact with.
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo build --release -p path-to-runtime
//! ```
//! Equivalent code in tests:
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/guides/your_first_node.rs", build_runtime)]
//!
//! This creates the wasm file under `./target/{release}/wbuild/release` directory.
//!
//! ### Building Chain Spec
//!
//! Next, we can generate the corresponding chain-spec file. For this example, we will use the
//! `development` (`sp_genesis_config::DEVELOPMENT`) preset.
//!
//! Note that we intend to run this chain-spec with `polkadot-omni-node`, which is tailored for
//! running parachains. This requires the chain-spec to always contain the `para_id` and a
//! `relay_chain` fields, which are provided below as CLI arguments.
//!
//! ```text
//! chain-spec-builder \
//! 	-c <path-to-output> \
//! 	create \
//! 	--para-id 42 \
//! 	--relay-chain dontcare \
//! 	--runtime polkadot_sdk_docs_first_runtime.wasm \
//! 	named-preset development
//! ```
//!
//! Equivalent code in tests:
#![doc = docify::embed!("./src/guides/your_first_node.rs", csb)]
//!
//!
//! ### Running `polkadot-omni-node`
//!
//! Finally, we can run the node with the generated chain-spec file. We can also specify the block
//! time using the `--dev-block-time` flag.
//!
//! ```text
//! polkadot-omni-node \
//! 	--tmp \
//! 	--dev-block-time 1000 \
//! 	--chain <chain_spec_file>.json
//! ```
//!
//! > Note that we always prefer to use `--tmp` for testing, as it will save the chain state to a
//! > temporary folder, allowing the chain-to be easily restarted without `purge-chain`. See
//! > [`sc_cli::commands::PurgeChainCmd`] and [`sc_cli::commands::RunCmd::tmp`] for more info.
//!
//! This will start the node and import the blocks. Note while using `--dev-block-time`, the node
//! will use the testing-specific manual-seal consensus. This is an efficient way to test the
//! application logic of your runtime, without needing to yet care about consensus, block
//! production, relay-chain and so on.
//!
