EtherPledge is a university project, where we intend to create a crowdfunding platform based on blockchain technologies.

How to build

We currently only support a build with VSCode, the Solidity and the Truffle extension. The extension will compile the contracts and deploy them to the local Ganache network.

Prerequisites

1. Clone this repository
2. Install Node.js and npm (Downgrade to pecific version below 9.0.0; e.g. npm install -g [email protected])
3. Install Truffle globally: npm install -g truffle
4. Install Vue.js globally: npm install -g @vue/cli
5. Install vant globally:npm install vant
6. Install Ganache globally: npm install -g ganache-cli
7. Run npm install in the project directory

Backend

1. Go to the backend directory
2. Run npm install

In VSCode:

• Go to the Truffle Extension Tab on the left
• Go to Networks
• If all dependencies are installed correctly there should be a network here
• Expand it once and click, Start Network
• Go to the contracts directory
• Right click on EtherPledge.sol and click deploy contracts
• Then click on devel on the pop-up that appears

With Terminal (Not retested after last rework --> might be broken):

1. Go to the project root directory
2. ganache-cli
3. truffle compile
4. truffle migrate --network development

Frontend

• Go to the frontend directory
• Run npm install
• Run npm run serve and open the displayed URL in your browser
