FileVault is a file storage application that allows you to upload files from your local computer and store them onchain. FileVault uses Internet Identity (II) for user login and authentication. Once files are uploaded, they can be downloaded at a later time, or they can be deleted.
This application's logic is written in Motoko, a programming language designed specifically for developing canisters on ICP.
ICP Ninja is a web-based integrated development environment (IDE) for the Internet Computer. It allows you to write code and deploy applications directly from your web browser in a temporary, sandbox-like environment.
For users who may already be familiar with the Internet Computer or who would rather use more advanced tooling such as command-line development tools, please refer to the ICP developer documentation to learn more.
Projects deployed to ICP from ICP Ninja are available on the mainnet for 20 minutes at a time. After 20 minutes, the project must be redeployed.
To deploy your project for long-term, production use such that it persists longer than 20 minutes without needing to be redeployed, you must migrate the files off of ICP Ninja and deploy them to the mainnet via dfx in a command-line environment.
The /backend folder contains the Motoko canister, app.mo. The /frontend folder contains web assets for the application's user interface. The user interface is written using the React framework. Edit the mops.toml file to add Motoko dependencies to the project.
