First, you'll need NodeJS>=10 plus Yarn and Git installed.
πΎ Clone/fork repo and then install:
git clone https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth.git rad-new-dapp
cd rad-new-dapp
yarn installβοΈ This will take some time. How about a quick tour of the file structure with your favorite code editor?
π‘ Sometimes the install throws errors like "node-gyp", try the next step even if you see problems.
(You can also download the Apple command line tools to fix the warning.)
βοΈ React frontend powered by π±create-eth-app using π§Ethers.js and the π¦Uniswap template:
yarn startπ Edit your frontend App.js in packages/react-app/src and open http://localhost:3000
β Start your local blockchain powered by π·ββοΈBuidler:
yarn run chainNote: You'll need to run this command in a new terminal window
π Use this eth.build to double-check your local chain and account balances
βοΈ Compile your contracts:
yarn run compileπ’ Deploy your contracts to the frontend:
yarn run deployOr to deploy to Ropsten
yarn run deploy:ropstenπ Watch for changes then compile, deploy, and hot reload the frontend:
yarn run watchπ₯ Your dapp hot reloads as you build your smart contracts and frontend together π₯
π Edit your smart contract SmartContractWallet.sol in packages/buidler/contracts
π€‘ There is a spelling error in
packages/buidler/contracts/SmartContractWallet.sol!
π€ Can you fix it and deploy the contract locally?
β’οΈ Warning: It is very important that you find
SmartContractWallet.solinpackages/buidler/contractsbecause there are other contract folders and it can get confusing.
π¬Test your contracts by editing myTest.js in packages/buidler/contracts:
yarn run testπ List your local accounts:
yarn run accountsπ° Check account balance:
yarn run balance **YOUR-ADDRESS**πΈ Send ETH:
yarn run send --from 0 --amount 0.5 --to **YOUR-ADDRESS**π§ Configure π·Buidler by editing
buidler.config.jsinpackages/buidler
β¨ The BuidlerEVM provides stack traces and console.log debugging for our contracts β¨
The frontend has three different providers that provide different levels of access to different chains:
mainnetProvider: (read only) Infura connection to main Ethereum network (and contracts already deployed like DAI or Uniswap).
localProvider: local Buidler accounts, used to read from your contracts (.env file points you at testnet or mainnet)
injectedProvider: your personal MetaMask, WalletConnect via Argent, or other injected wallet (generates burner-provider on page load)
π Ant.design is the UI library with components like the grids, menus, dates, times, buttons, etc.
Transactor: The transactor returns a tx() function to make running and tracking transactions as simple and standardized as possible. We will bring in BlockNative's Notify library to track our testnet and mainnet transactions.
const tx = Transactor(props.injectedProvider, props.gasPrice);Then you can use the tx() function to send funds and write to your smart contracts:
tx({
to: readContracts[contractName].address,
value: ethers.utils.parseEther("0.001"),
});tx(writeContracts["SmartContractWallet"].updateOwner(newOwner));β’οΈ Warning: You will need to update the configuration for
react-app/src/helpers/Transactor.jsto use your BlockNative dappId
Commonly used Ethereum hooks located in packages/react-app/src/:
usePoller(fn, delay): runs a function on app load and then on a custom interval
usePoller(() => {
//do something cool at start and then every three seconds
}, 3000);useBalance(address, provider, [pollTime]): poll for the balance of an address from a provider
const localBalance = useBalance(address, localProvider);useBlockNumber(provider,[pollTime]): get current block number from a provider
const blockNumber = useBlockNumber(props.provider);useGasPrice([speed]): gets current "fast" price from ethgasstation
const gasPrice = useGasPrice();useExchangePrice(mainnetProvider, [pollTime]): gets current price of Ethereum on the Uniswap exchange
const price = useExchangePrice(mainnetProvider);useContractLoader(provider): loads your smart contract interface
const readContracts = useContractLoader(localProvider);
const writeContracts = useContractLoader(injectedProvider);useContractReader(contracts, contractName, variableName, [pollTime]): reads a variable from your contract and keeps it in the state
const title = useContractReader(props.readContracts, contractName, "title");
const owner = useContractReader(props.readContracts, contractName, "owner");useEventListener(contracts, contractName, eventName, [provider], [startBlock]): listens for events from a smart contract and keeps them in the state
const ownerUpdates = useEventListener(
readContracts,
contractName,
"UpdateOwner",
props.localProvider,
1
);Your commonly used React Ethereum components located in packages/react-app/src/:
π¬ <Address />: A simple display for an Ethereum address that uses a Blockie, lets you copy, and links to Etherescan.
<Address value={address} />
<Address value={address} size="short" />
<Address value={address} size="long" blockexplorer="https://blockscout.com/poa/xdai/address/"/>
<Address value={address} ensProvider={mainnetProvider}/>π <AddressInput />: An input box you control with useState for an Ethereum address that uses a Blockie and ENS lookup/display.
const [ address, setAddress ] = useState("")
<AddressInput
value={address}
ensProvider={props.ensProvider}
onChange={(address)=>{
setAddress(address)
}}
/>TODO GIF
π΅ <Balance />: Displays the balance of an address in either dollars or decimal.
<Balance
address={address}
provider={injectedProvider}
dollarMultiplier={price}
/>π€ <Account />: Allows your users to start with an Ethereum address on page load but upgrade to a more secure, injected provider, using Web3Modal. It will track your address and localProvider in your app's state:
const [address, setAddress] = useState();
const [injectedProvider, setInjectedProvider] = useState();
const price = useExchangePrice(mainnetProvider);<Account
address={address}
setAddress={setAddress}
localProvider={localProvider}
injectedProvider={injectedProvider}
setInjectedProvider={setInjectedProvider}
dollarMultiplier={price}
/>π‘ Notice: the
<Account />component will callsetAddressandsetInjectedProviderfor you.
β’οΈ Warning: You will need to update the configuration for
Web3Modalto use your Infura Id
π‘ <Provider />: You can choose to display the provider connection status to your users with:
<Provider name={"mainnet"} provider={mainnetProvider} />
<Provider name={"local"} provider={localProvider} />
<Provider name={"injected"} provider={injectedProvider} />π‘ Notice: you will need to check the network id of your
injectedProvidercompared to yourlocalProviderormainnetProviderand alert your users if they are on the wrong network!
π Edit your smart contract SmartContractWallet.sol in packages/buidler/contracts
π Then edit the SmartContractWallet.js React component in packages/react-app/src
yarn run compile and yarn run deploy or just yarn run watch
π Run this eth.build with your contract address to ask it who its owner is.
