Example Ethereum (Solidity) smart contract decentralized app with Webpack, demonstrating the following features and behaviors:

• Simple Ethereum decentralized app (dapp) with:
  • Smart contract written in Solidity
  • A simple viewer written in Vanilla JavaScript.
• Minimal reinvention. Using only tools that are already familiar for front-end JavaScript developers.
• Smart contract is based on The Coin from a tutorial on ethereum.org.
• Direct importing of Solidity code and instantiation of smart contract via Webpack through solc-loader and web3-loader.
  • Interfacing with smart contracts is as simple as import { MyToken } from './contract/MyToken.sol'.
  • See index.js for more details.
• Be a simple starter kit for creating Ethereum decentralized apps.

1. Run a local Ethereum node with JSON-RPC listening at port 8545 (default). testrpc would be the most straight-forward method.

# Using testrpc (recommended)
testrpc

# If you are running Geth, 
# make sure to run in testnet or private net and enable rpc
geth --testnet --rpc

1. Install dependencies

npm install

1. Run, during development

npm start

Once webpack build is done, open index.html in your favorite web browser.

Webpack is now started in --watch mode, any changes done at JavaScript or Solidity files would automatically rebuild the affected modules.

1. Build, for deployment

npm run build

Only the static directory is required to be hosted and served.

1. Run tests

npm test

1. Start testrpc and tests concurrently

npm run test-testrpc

1. web3-loader can be further configured, for example to reuse a deployed contract instead of redeploying at every build. See web3-loader's README for more details.

2. Similarly for solc-loader.

Pull requests, bug reports are welcomed.

This example dapp is put together by U-Zyn Chua. Say hi to me at Twitter (@uzyn) or Freenode IRC (my handle: uzyn, usually at #ethereum).
