XCHNG-Solidity-Mini-Project

XCHNG Solidity Mini Project

This Truffle Box provides a base for working with the Truffle Framework and Jquery UI.

Prerequisites

In order to run this Truffle box, you will need Node.js (tested with version 8.9.x). This will include npm, needed to install dependencies. In order install these dependencies, you will also need Python (version 2.7.x) and git. You will also need the MetaMask plugin for Chrome.

Building

1. Install truffle, and an Ethereum client. If you don't have a test environment, we recommend ganache-cli or Ganache GUI app

npm install -g truffle
a) npm install -g ganache-cli
b) Download Ganache GUI app at https://truffleframework.com/ganache  

2. Clone the repository

git clone git@github.com:DeeJayElly/XCHNG-Solidity-Mini-Project.git

3. Install dependencies

   npm install

4. Run your Ethereum client.

a) For Ganache CLI

ganache-cli

b) For Ganache GUI

Run Ganache GUI app

Note the mnemonic 12-word phrase printed on startup, you will need it later.

5. Compile and migrate your contracts.

1. truffle compile 

2. a) If on ganache-cli then run:
    truffle migrate
  
   b) If on Ganache GUI then run:
    truffle migrate --network ganache

Configuration

1. In order to connect with the Ethereum network, you will need to configure MetaMask
2. Log into the ganache-cli test accounts in MetaMask, using the 12-word phrase printed earlier.
   1. A detailed explaination of how to do this can be found here
      1. Normally, the available test accounts will change whenever you restart ganache-cli.
      2. In order to receive the same test accounts every time you start ganache-cli, start it with a seed like this: ganache-cli --seed 0 or ganache-cli -m "put your mnemonic phrase here needs twelve words to work with MetaMask"
3. Point MetaMask to ganache-cli by connecting to the network localhost:8545 ,or point MetaMask to Ganache GUI by choosing network localhost:7545

Interacting with smart contract

a) ganache-cli option - Using Truffle Develop and the Console

Sometimes it's nice to work with your contracts interactively for testing and debugging purposes, or for executing transactions by hand. Truffle provides you two easy ways to do this via an interactive console, with your contracts available and ready to use.

• Truffle console: A basic interactive console connecting to any Ethereum client
• Truffle Develop: An interactive console that also spawns a development blockchain

Why two different consoles?

Having two different consoles allows you to choose the best tool for your needs.

Reasons to use Truffle console:

• You have a client you're already using, such as Ganache or geth
• You want to migrate to a testnet (or the main Ethereum network)
• You want to use a specific mnemonic or account list

Reasons to use Truffle Develop:

• You are testing your project with no intention of immediately deploying
• You don't need to work with specific accounts (and you're fine with using default development accounts)
• You don't want to install and manage a separate blockchain client

Commands

All commands require that you be in your project folder. You do not need to be at the root.

Console

To launch the console:

truffle console

This will look for a network definition called development in the configuration, and connect to it, if available. You can override this using the --network <name> option. See more details in the Networks section as well as the command reference.

When you load the console, you'll immediately see the following prompt:

truffle(development)>

This tells you you're running within a Truffle console using the development network.

Truffle Develop

To launch Truffle Develop:

truffle develop

This will spawn a development blockchain locally on port 9545, regardless of what your truffle.js configuration file calls for.

When you load Truffle Develop, you will see the following:

Truffle Develop started at http://localhost:9545/

Mnemonic: candy maple cake sugar pudding cream honey rich smooth crumble sweet treat

This shows you the addresses, private keys, and mnemonic for this particular blockchain.

**Note**: The mnemonic and addresses cannot be changed. If you want to use a different mnemonic or set of addresses, we recommend using [Ganache](/docs/ganache/using).

**Warning**: Remember to never use any of these addresses or the mnemonic on the mainnet. This is for development only.

Features

Both Truffle Develop and the console provide most of the features available in the Truffle command line tool. For instance, you can type migrate --reset within the console, and it will be interpreted the same as if you ran truffle migrate --reset on the command line.

Additionally, both Truffle Develop and the console additionally have the following features:

• All of your compiled contracts are available and ready for use.

• After each command (such as migrate --reset) your contracts are reprovisioned so you can start using the newly assigned addresses and binaries immediately.

• The web3 library is made available and is set to connect to your Ethereum client.

• All commands that return a promise will automatically be resolved, and the result printed, removing the need to use .then() for simple commands. For example, the following command:

  MyContract.at("0xabcd...").getValue.call();

  Will return something like:

  5

Commands available

• build
• compile
• create
• debug
• exec
• install
• migrate
• networks
• opcode
• publish
• test
• version

If a Truffle command is not available, it is because it is not relevant for an existing project (for example, init) or wouldn't make sense (for example, develop or console).

See full command reference for more information.

Running web app

1. Run the app using Lite Server:

npm run dev

The app is now served on localhost:3000

2. Making sure you have configured MetaMask, visit http://localhost:4200 in your browser.

3. Send Transaction while choosing to register a Car in the Car Page!

Testing

Running the Truffle tests:

truffle test ./test/"NameOfTheFile".js --network ganache

NOTE:

UI is not the best looking because this is just a demo Proof of Concept App. If some unexpected errors occur, try to refresh the page or restart the Lite Server.
