TL;DR: fork this repo for an Ethereum dev stack focused on fast product iteration
π scaffold-eth is a stack of existing tools including π·ββοΈ Buidler and π¦ create-eth-app
Its super power is interating on smart contracts as you build your frontend.
It's great for building decentralized applications on Ethereum.

^^^ β PR your π scaffold-eth project in above!!! ^^^
First, you'll need NodeJS>=10 plus Yarn and Git installed.
πΎ install:
git clone https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth.git rad-new-dapp
cd rad-new-dapp
git checkout quickstart
yarn install
βοΈ 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.)
π frontend
yarn start
π Edit your frontend App.jsx
in packages/react-app/src
and open http://localhost:3000
β blockchain
yarn run chain
Note: 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 compile
π’ Deploy your contracts to the frontend:
yarn run deploy
π Watch for changes then compile, deploy, and hot reload the frontend:
yarn run watch
π₯ 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.sol
inpackages/buidler/contracts
because there are other contract folders and it can get confusing.
π¬Test your contracts by editing myTest.js
in packages/buidler/contracts
:
yarn run test
π List your local accounts:
yarn run accounts
π° 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.js
inpackages/buidler
β¨ The BuidlerEVM provides stack traces and console.log debugging for our contracts β¨
πΎ install:
git clone https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth.git smart-contract-sandbox
cd smart-contract-sandbox
yarn install
βοΈ start
#run in original terminal window:
yarn start
#run in terminal window 2:
yarn run chain
#run in terminal window 3:
yarn run deploy
π Edit or rename your smart contract YourContract.sol
in packages/buidler/contracts
π Edit your frontend App.jsx
in packages/react-app/src
π± Open http://localhost:3000 to see the app
β’οΈ Make sure are running your local chain yarn run chain
and your contract is deployed with yarn run deploy
π₯ Try yarn run watch
and as you change your Solidity, your frontend <Contract/> will hot reload to give you access to new variables and functions:
π½ Video Guide
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: parseEther("0.001"),
});
tx(writeContracts["SmartContractWallet"].updateOwner(newOwner));
β’οΈ Warning: You will need to update the configuration for
react-app/src/helpers/Transactor.js
to 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 callsetAddress
andsetInjectedProvider
for you.
β’οΈ Warning: You will need to update the configuration for
Web3Modal
to 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
injectedProvider
compared to yourlocalProvider
ormainnetProvider
and 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
