Truffle: Adding a frontend with react box

Earlier in the series, we took a look at how to setup Truffle and use it to compile, deploy and interact with our Bounties.sol smart contract. This article will walk through the steps required to add a simple react.js front end to our Bounties dApp so that users can interact with our smart contract using their web browser. Source code for this tutorial can be found here. Truffle boxes are helpful boilerplate code, pre-configured to help you get up and running quickly developing your dApp. In

Understanding smart contract compilation and deployment

As discussed earlier in the series, when developing dApps, and especially writing smart contracts, there are many repetitive tasks you will undertake. Such as compiling source code, generating ABIs, testing, and deployment. Development frameworks hide the complexity of these tasks and enable you as a developer to focus on developing your dApp/idea. Before we take a look at these frameworks such as truffle, embark and populous, we’re going to take a detour and have a look at the tasks performed

Truffle: Testing your smart contract

Earlier in the series, we took a look at how to setup Truffle and use it to compile, deploy and interact with our Bounties.sol smart contract. This article will walk through the steps required to write tests for our smart contract within the Truffle framework. Tests in Truffle projects can be written in Javascript or Solidity, however, this article will focus on the Javascript tests. Truffle uses the Mocha testing framework to provide an easy way to write tests in Javascript and uses Chai for

Truffle: Smart Contract Compilation & Deployment

Earlier in the series, we took a look at how to manually deploy and interact with our Bounties.sol smart contract on a local development blockchain. We also briefly touched on development frameworks which hide the complexity of these repetitive tasks and allow us to focus on developing dApps. This article will walk through the steps required to setup Truffle and use it to compile, deploy and interact with our Bounties.sol smart contract. You should see that this is a much easier process than t

Remix IDE - Your first smart contract

The easiest place to start writing smart contracts in Solidity in within the online Remix IDE. Given it is an online IDE, no installation or development environment setup is required, you can navigate to the site and get started! Remix also provides very good tools for debugging, static analysis, and deployment all within the online environment. The source code used in this tutorial can be found here. Before we get started, a quick reminder of what we will be building: A dApp which will allo

Tools for dApp development

This article will introduce you to the relevant tools required for developing a simple dApp. We will introduce tools in the following areas: Because a smart contract is deployed on the blockchain in its bytecode form, any language that comes with an EVM compiler could be used to write a smart contract. Nobody really wants to write bytecode! Solidity Currently, Solidity is the preferred/most used language used to write smart contracts for the Ethereum platform. For this reason it has the most

Embark: Testing Your Smart Contract

Earlier in the series, we took a look at how to setup Embark and use it to compile, deploy and interact with our Bounties.sol smart contract. This article will walk through the steps required to write tests for our smart contract within the Embark framework. Tests in Embark projects are written in Javascript. Embark uses the Mocha testing framework to provide an easy way to write tests in Javascript and uses Node.js for assertions. You can read more about testing in Embark here. Source code f
