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.

Summary

This was quite the chapter! We got our hands dirty with Angular, React, and Node. As you have seen, we did nothing new with web3 or Truffle. We simply interacted with them the way we have done before, with the only difference being that we were inside of Angular, React, and Node environments.

Being able to integrate Truffle and web3 with modern JavaScript frameworks is key to becoming a well-versed and seasoned smart contract developer. You're well on your way!

See you in the next chapter, where you will learn an essential skill that is useful not only when writing smart contracts, but production-level software in general—unit tests.
