ape-hackathon-kit

Example project utilizing Ape for Solidity contract management and a Next.js application to display and interact with the contract on the front-end.

Setup

1. Compile and test the contract

• Set up a fresh python virtual environment, then clone this repo
• pip install eth-ape ipython pdbpp
• ape plugins install .
• ape compile
• ape test

2. Deploy the contract to a local test environment

• Install Foundry
• Start Anvil in one terminal pane ($ anvil)
• Run the deploy script in another: ape run deploy_local

3. Interact with the contract in the web app

• cd webapp
• npm install
• npm run dev
• visit localhost:3000, connect a wallet, view and update the Billboard message

Note: when you start Anvil, ten test accounts and their private keys will be printed in the console. You can import any of those private keys into a wallet, e.g., MetaMask, and then interact with the contract using that test ether.
