Daedalus - cryptocurrency wallet

Automated build

CI/dev build scripts

Platform-specific build scripts facilitate building Daedalus the way it is built by the IOHK CI:

  • scripts/build-installer-unix.sh <DAEDALUS-VERSION> <CARDANO-BRANCH> [OPTIONS..]
    • where OS is either linux or osx
    • facilitates installer upload to S3 via --upload-s3
  • scripts/build-installer-windows.bat <DAEDALUS-VERSION> <CARDANO-BRANCH>

The result can be found at:

  • on OS X: ${BUILD}/installers/dist/Daedalus-installer-*.pkg
  • on WIndows: ${BUILD}/installers/daedalus-*-installer.exe

One-click build-fresh-daedalus scripts

These rely on the scripts from the previous section, but also go to a certain trouble to ensure that dependencies are installed, and even check out a fresh version of Daedalus from the specifid branch.

These are intended to be used by developers in a "clean rebuild" scenario, to facilitate validation.

Dependencies:

  • on OS X: git
  • on Windows: Node.js, 7zip

Location:

Invocation:

{osx,windows}-build-fresh-daedalus.{sh,bat} [BRANCH] [GITHUB-USER] [OPTIONS...]

..where BRANCH defaults to the current release branch, and GITHUB-USER defaults to input-output-hk.

The remaining OPTIONS are passed as-is to the respective build scripts.

Stepwise build

Install Node.js dependencies.

$ npm install

Development

run with one command:

$ npm run dev

Or run these two commands simultaneously in different console tabs.

$ npm run hot-server
$ npm run start-hot

Note: requires a node version >= 4 and an npm version >= 3. This project defaults to 6.x

Development - with Cardano Wallet (daedalus-bridge)

Build and run daedalus-bridge using instructions in the repo

Symlink the npm package in the subfolder pos-haskell-prototype/daedalus:

  • npm link (inside the daedalus sub folder of the Cardano client)
  • npm link daedalus-client-api (inside this daedalus frontend app)

Run with npm run dev

Testing

You can run the test suite in two different modes during development (Currently you always need to run npm run dev before that)

One-time run:

$ npm run test

Watch & Rerun on file changes:

$ npm run test-watch

CSS Modules

This boilerplate out of the box is configured to use css-modules.

All .css file extensions will use css-modules unless it has .global.css.

If you need global styles, stylesheets with .global.css will not go through the css-modules loader. e.g. app.global.css

Externals

If you use any 3rd party libraries which can't or won't be built with webpack, you must list them in your webpack.config.base.js

externals: [
  // put your node 3rd party libraries which can't be built with webpack here (mysql, mongodb, and so on..)
]

For a common example, to install Bootstrap, npm i --save bootstrap and link them in the head of app.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="image/svg+xml" href="../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot" />
...

Make sure to list bootstrap in externals in webpack.config.base.js or the app won't include them in the package:

externals: ['bootstrap']

Packaging

$ npm run package

To package apps for all platforms:

$ npm run package-all

To package apps with options:

$ npm run package -- --[option]

Options

  • --name, -n: Application name (default: ElectronReact)
  • --version, -v: Electron version (default: latest version)
  • --asar, -a: asar support (default: false)
  • --icon, -i: Application icon
  • --all: pack for all platforms

Use electron-packager to pack your app with --all options for darwin (osx), linux and win32 (windows) platform. After build, you will find them in release folder. Otherwise, you will only find one for your os.
