Built upon one of the Truffle boxes; drizzle, which helps integrate ReactJs with blockchain smart contracts.

Tools and versions used -

• Node v16.15.0
• npm v8.5.5
• Ganache client v2.5.4
• Truffle v5.5.12
• Solidity v0.5.16
• Web3.js v1.5.3

Additionally, the frontend is powered by material-ui v4.x.

The ReactJs part of the code goes under appfrontend, smart contracts under contracts, and migration configurations for these smart contracts under migrations. Configurations for connecting to local blockchain - Ganache, and compiling the contracts are written in the truffle-config.js file.

Frontend uses the compiled contracts to interact with them. The compiled contracts are stored in appfrontend/src/contracts/ (as configured in the truffle-config.js file), and are read internally in the appfrontend/src/drizzleOptions.js file. The expected contracts and events are configured here.

Frontend images for current state of the application are stored in the images/currentstate folder.

To know more about what's part of the frontend code, check out the README file in appfrontend/.

• Clone the project and run npm install in both the root and appfrontend folders. This should install most of the required dependencies.
• Additionally, install Truffle for managing contracts using npm install [email protected] -g.
• Install the Ganache client from Truffle's official website.

• Open up Ganache and create a new workspace.
• Update truffle-config.js file with the workspace's network details. Connect the project to the workspace by linking the config file in the workspace's settings.
• Use Truffle commands truffle compile and truffle migrate to compile and deploy the smart contracts to the new Ganache workspace. To deploy specifically to the dev environment, suffix --network dev to the above commands. Similarly, suffix --network <network_name> for any custom network names.
• If updating any folder names in the frontend code, please note that the path for storing the compiled contracts needs to be modified in the truffle-config.js file.
• The migrations should successfully go through and the workspace should be updated with the contract deployment details.

For more commands, please refer to Truffle's guides and tutorials.

Navigate to the appfrontend folder and run npm start. This should start the application and open it up in localhost:3000.

Currently uses the first available address to carry out these functionalities.

Users can -

• create a new batch of products,
• update the status of these batches,
• view their basic profile details,
• view the batch details after creation,
• view active and sold (history) batches and their details.
