Aragon Apps

Apps

This repository contains the following apps:

• Finance: Send payments and manage expenses with budgeting.
• Survey: Create polls to gauge community opinions.
• Tokens: Manages organization tokens.
• Vault: Securely owns and manages tokens on behalf of a DAO.
• Voting: Create votes that execute actions on behalf of token holders.

Each of the individual apps come with a frontend that is intended to be installed and used through the Aragon client.

You can read more about how each of the individual apps work in the Aragon user guide.

Coming soon apps

The following apps are still under development, and not ready for production deployment yet:

• Payroll: Manages employees' payrolls.

Quick start

npm install

This installs global package dependencies and also bootstraps the entire monorepo through lerna.

Note: the monorepo is set up in such a way that you must install it through a lerna bootstrap (done automatically after an npm install).

If you're only interested in the contract dependencies, and not the frontends, you can use INSTALL_FRONTEND=false npm install instead.

If you're only interested in bootstrapping one package, you can use npx lerna bootstrap --scope @aragon/<package> --include-filtered-dependencies

Running tests on all apps can be done by running npm run test at the root directory (note that running all of the tests can take a significant amount of time!).

Running tests of an individual app can be done by running npm run test inside an individual app's directory, or through the selective npm run test:<app> scripts.

By default, tests are run on an in-memory instance of testrpc.
