DipDappDoe

The following repository relates to the series of articles published on Hackernoon: Dip Dapp Doe — Anatomy of an Ethereum distributed fair game

The project is divided into the blockchain files (smart contracts) and the web project (React, Redux and Parcel).

Getting started

DipDappDoe makes use of runner-cli as the task runner:

npm i -g runner-cli

The tasks are declared in blockchain/taskfile and web/taskfile, which are shell scripts on steroids.

To see the available commands, simply invoke:

run

To invoke a command:

run build

Or:

./taskfile build

Blockchain

• Install the dependencies: run init
• Run the test suite (for TDD): run test
• Compile the contracts: run build
• Deploy the contract to the blockchain: run deploy

Web

• Develop with live reload: run dev
  • Start a local blockchain (Ganache)
  • Deploy the contracts to the local blockchain
  • Open Chromium with MetaMask pointing to ganache
  • Bundle the web and serve it with live reload
• Develop with live reload: run dev ropsten
  • Start a dev server with live reload
  • The ropsten test network will be used
• Build for release: run build
  • Bundle the static web assets to ./build
• Run the E2E test: run test
  • Start a local blockchain
  • Deploy the contracts to the local blockchain
  • Bundle the web
  • Start a local server
  • Open Chromium (puppeteer)
  • Run the tests locally

Dependencies

To work with DipDappDoe you need:

[sudo] npm i -g truffle parcel-bundler solc ganache-cli

• ParcelJS (HTML/JS/CSS bundler)
• Truffle (Solidity development tools)
• Solc (Solidity compiler)
• Ganache (local blockchain)

Typical workflow

[sudo] npm i -g runner-cli

Development

Blockchain:

cd blockchain
run init
# do your changes
run test
# repeat...

Frontend:

cd web
run init
run test
run dev  # or "run dev ropsten"
# do your changes and live reload

Deployment

Blockchain:

cd blockchain
run deploy  # implies "run build"

Frontend:

cd web
run build
ls ./build  # your dist files are here
