Medium Article covering EthDenver and RefugeeID

Tools used:

React (Based on Create-react-app: https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app) Redux for state management https://redux.js.org/ Truffle For contract compiling/migrating http://truffleframework.com/ Solidity for smart contracts on Ethereum https://solidity.readthedocs.io web3 To allow you to interact with a local or remote ethereum node, using a HTTP or IPC connection. https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JavaScript-API
truffle-contract To make it easier to work with your contracts. https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-contract

Development Setup

• Install truffle globally using: npm install -g truffle

• You will need the to download uPort on your mobile device to log in. https://www.uport.me/

Working with contracts

• All contracts and files realated to Ethereum are in directory: src/ethereum

Local Development

• For local development: cd to directory src/ethereum and run truffle develop

• Command to compile contracts: compile

• Command to migrate contracts: migrate

• Command to run tests for the contracts: test

• To switch between uPort and Metamask, uncomment web3 declerations in Accounts.js (line 24) and TodoServices.js (lines 2, 3)

• Note:truffle develop runs a local test node on localhost:9545 truffle develop Needs to be running when interacting with your contracts

• Metamask needs to point to localhost:9545 For directions, read here under title "USING METAMASK WITH TRUFFLE DEVELOP" http://truffleframework.com/docs/advanced/truffle-with-metamask

Working with React/Redux

• Command for running the front end: yarn start
• Command for connecting to the Ropsten test network: truffle migrate --network ropsten Make sure that on MetaMask you are connected to Ropsten as well (keep in mind that this network is share with everyone using this network, so we can all see those todo's you will put up there).
• for running on the Rinkeby network so you use Uport run truffle compile and then truffle migrate --network rinkeby
