About The Project

Deployed DAPP

If you want to build your first DAPP or want to use a simple DAPP as template, this is the right place for you. Deploying first DAPP is always difficult. That's why, I will try to guide you through the easiest way for deploying your first DAPP.

Of course, no one template will serve all projects since your needs may be different. But after deploying your first DAPP, you will be able to understand how DAPP works. I'll be adding more templates in the near future. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue. Thanks to all the people have have contributed to expanding this template!

A list of commonly used resources that I find helpful are listed in the acknowledgements.

Getting Started

Make sure you follow each and every step carefully as written here otherwise you may get stuck at nowhere (telling from experience :P)

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (Version Used: v10.14.2)

     # Linux Users
 sudo apt install nodejs

 # Mac Users
 brew install node

Windows Users, visit Node.js Website

  • npm (Version Used: 6.4.1)

    npm install npm@latest -g

  • Solc-js (Version Used: 0.8.0)

     npm i solc-js

Installation

  1. Register on https://infura.io/ and create a new project.

  2. After creating project, you will see that there will be 2 Endpoints. It will be used later in our project.

  3. Clone the repo

    git clone https://github.com/Chetan-Goyal/DAPP-Template.git
cd DAPP-Template/

  4. Install NPM packages

    npm install

  5. Now run the following command to globally install the npx module.

    npm install -g npx

Usage

  1. Run the below command command-

    solcjs --bin --abi -o ./build FirstContract.sol

    (Above command will create a directory named build with two files.)

  2. Now, create a new terminal and navigate to the project directory using cd. Here, we are going to run our instance of Ganache. Replace the <ENDOPOINT> with the https endpoint you have received from Infura.io at 2nd Step of Installation.

    cd DAPP-Template/
npx ganache-cli -f <ENDPOINT>

  3. Run the following command

    node deploy.js

    (If you are getting errors here, make sure that the filenames mentioned in deploy.js are same as the filenames inside build directory)

  4. If successful, you will see the following output on your command line.

    FirstContract was successfully deployed!  
FirstContract can be interfaced with at this address:  
0x702f935d608Aadf90323310c489B2903af20AA43

    You will get a different address here.

  5. Copy the address which you received here in myContractAddress variable with quotes in index.html.

  6. Now, Open build/FirstContract_sol_FirstContract.abi and copy all of it's content. Paste the copied content in myAbi variable in place of [] in index.html.

  7. Now, we are ready to run our DAPP. Run the following command:

    npx http-server

    If you received receive the following response in your terminal,

    Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
  http://127.0.0.1:8080
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

Hurray!! You have finally run your first DAPP. Now, go to the above url. You will see your DAPP up and running.
