Tezos Example Box

Note: Experimental. Currently designed for demo purposes only.

This box contains a Counter and SimpleStorage contract to display the basics of Tezos LIGO integration with Truffle.

Prerequisites

Docker
- Used for LIGO compilations and running a local sandbox Tezos node.
NodeJS
- v8.9.4 to v12.2.0

Installation

Install Truffle globally. Make sure you install truffle@tezos.

npm install -g truffle@tezos

Download the box. This also takes care of installing the necessary dependencies.

truffle unbox tezos-example

Usage

Compiling the example smart contracts
```
truffle compile
```
Starting the local ganache-cli sandbox Tezos node
```
npm run start-sandbox
```
Migrating contracts
```
truffle migrate
```
Running contract tests
```
truffle test
```

Sandbox Management

An archive mode ganache-cli sandbox Tezos node is provided in this box with RPC exposed at port 8732 and ten accounts generously funded with 100 XTZ. For currently supported configurable options, see the ganache-cli documentation.

Commands

npm run start-sandbox

Interacting with Live Networks

A test faucet key can be obtained from https://faucet.tzalpha.net/. Once saved, it can be imported inside truffle-config.js:

const { mnemonic, secret, password, email } = require("./faucet.json");

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    carthagenet: {
      host: "https://carthagenet.smartpy.io",
      port: 443,
      network_id: "*",
      secret,
      mnemonic,
      password,
      email,
      type: "tezos"
    }
  }
};

truffle@tezos also supports importing an activated account's secret key:

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    carthagenet: {
      host: "https://carthagenet.smartpy.io",
      port: 443,
      network_id: "*",
      secretKey: "edsk...", // private key
      type: "tezos"
    }
  }
};

truffle migrate --network carthagenet
truffle test --network carthagenet
