By: Nikhil Bhaskar

Overview of this book

Truffle is a world-class development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for Ethereum, aiming to make life as an Ethereum developer easier. If you are a web developer wanting to try your hand at developing Dapps with Truffle, then this is the book for you. This book will teach you to write smart contracts and build Dapps with Truffle. You will begin with covering the basics of Truffle, briefly explaining how it integrates Solidity and Web3, in orderto start building a mini decentralized application. Also, you will dive into migration, testing and integrating Truffle with the use of popular JavaScript frameworks. Lastly, you will ship your decentralized application and package it into a product. Moreover, you will go through the best practices in Truffle,so as to increase your proficiency in building Dapps with Truffle. By the end of the book, you will be able to write smart contracts and build decentralized applications with Truffle on Ethereum blockchains.

Truffle and Popular JavaScript Technologies

This chapter will illustrate the use of Truffle with modern JavaScript technologies such as Angular, React, and Node. You will learn how to integrate Truffle with JavaScript frontend libraries and frameworks as well as on the backend with Node. This chapter will provide code snippets and examples for various frameworks, and highlight the integration similarities between all frameworks. Moreover, this chapter will cover the best practices that you can employ when integrating Truffle with a modern JavaScript framework, library, or technology.

More specifically, you will learn the following:

  • How to integrate Truffle with Angular
  • How to integrate Truffle with React
  • How to integrate Truffle with Node

Up until now, we worked with Truffle without using a JavaScript frontend framework. We did this to focus on Truffle and learn how it works...
