React Truffle Box

This box comes with everything you need to start using smart contracts from a react app. This is as barebones as it gets, so nothing stands in your way.

Installation

First ensure you are in a new and empty directory.

Run the unbox command via npx and skip to step 3. This will install all necessary dependencies. A Create-React-App is generated in the client directory.
```
npx truffle unbox react
```
Alternatively, you can install Truffle globally and run the unbox command.
```
npm install -g truffle
truffle unbox react
```
Run the development console.
```
truffle develop
```
Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note inside the development console we don't preface commands with truffle.
```
compile
migrate
```
In the client directory, we run the React app. Smart contract changes must be manually recompiled and migrated.
```
// in another terminal (i.e. not in the truffle develop prompt)
cd client
npm run start
```
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
```
Jest is included for testing React components. Compile your contracts before running Jest, or you may receive some file not found errors.
```
// ensure you are inside the client directory when running this
npm run test
```
To build the application for production, use the build script. A production build will be in the client/build folder.
```
// ensure you are inside the client directory when running this
npm run build
```

FAQ

How do I use this with the Ganache-CLI?

It's as easy as modifying the config file! Check out our documentation on adding network configurations. Depending on the port you're using, you'll also need to update line 29 of client/src/utils/getWeb3.js.
Where is my production build?

The production build will be in the client/build folder after running npm run build in the client folder.
Where can I find more documentation?

This box is a marriage of Truffle and a React setup created with create-react-app. Either one would be a great place to start!

react-boxTruffle, Webpack and React boilerplate.
