Webpack Truffle Box

This box is our most bare official implementation with Webpack.

Includes contracts, migrations, tests, user interface, and webpack build pipeline.

Installation

First ensure you are in a new and empty directory.

1. Run the unbox command via npx and skip to step 3.

   npx truffle unbox webpack

2. Alternatively, you can install Truffle globally and run the unbox command.

   npm install -g truffle
   truffle unbox webpack

3. Run the development console.

   truffle develop

4. Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note inside the development console we don't preface commands with truffle.

   compile
   migrate

5. In the app directory, we build and run our frontend. Smart contract changes must be manually recompiled and migrated.

   // in another terminal (i.e. not in the truffle develop prompt)
   cd app
   npm run dev

6. Truffle can run tests written in Solidity or JavaScript against your smart contracts. Note the command varies slightly if you're in or outside of the development console.

   // inside the development console.
   test
   
   // outside the development console..
   truffle test

7. To build the application for production, use the build script in the app folder. A production build will be in the app/dist folder.

   // ensure you are inside the client directory when running this
   npm run build

FAQ

• Where is my production build?

  The production build will be in the app/dist folder after running npm run build in the app folder.

• Where can I find more documentation?

  This box is a marriage of Truffle and a Webpack setup. Either one would be a great place to start!
