This box comes with everything you need to start using Truffle to write, compile, test, and deploy smart contracts, and interact with them from a Next.js app.
First ensure you are in an empty directory.
Run the unbox
command using 1 of 2 ways.
# Install Truffle globally and run `truffle unbox`
$ npm install -g truffle
$ truffle unbox next
# Alternatively, run `truffle unbox` via npx
$ npx truffle unbox next
You can find detailed installation instruction at: trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/how-to/install
Start the Next.js dev server.
$ cd client
$ npm run dev
From there, follow the instructions on the hosted Next.js app. It will walk you through using Truffle and Ganache to deploy the SimpleStorage
contract, making calls to it, and sending transactions to change the contract's state.

How do I use this with Ganache (or any other network)?
The Truffle project is set to deploy to Ganache by default. If you'd like to change this, it's as easy as modifying the Truffle config file! Check out our documentation on adding network configurations. From there, you can run
truffle migrate
pointed at another network, connect MetaMask to use that network, and see the change take place. -
Where can I find more resources?
This Box is a sweet combo of Truffle and Next.js. Either one would be a great place to start!
