Ready to dive into the exhilarating world of Ethereum and build a full-stack decentralized application (Dapp)? With this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to utilize an efficient template that allows you to create powerful blockchain applications quickly. Let’s get started!

Technologies You Will Use

Before we embark on our journey, let’s familiarize ourselves with the technologies you’ll be working with:

• Front-end: Next.js (React), Tailwind CSS, Ethers.js, MetaMask, IPFS, Pinata
• Smart Contracts: Hardhat, Ethers.js, TypeChain, OpenZeppelin, Mocha, Chai, Waffle
• Back-end: Node.js, MongoDB, Mongoose, Express, Ethers.js, Joi

How to Use the Template

To simplify your experience, you can follow one of two methods to get your Ether Dapp running smoothly:

1. First Method (Recommended)

This method involves using a script to create your project in a specified directory:

bash
yarn create ether-dapp my-dapp
cd my-dapp
yarn dev

Before executing the above commands, ensure you have Yarn installed. If you don’t, you can easily install it using:

npm i -g yarn

Using yarn create ether-dapp ensures that you are always using the latest version of the template. Once your app is running with yarn dev, you can visit:

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• Backend: http://localhost:5000

2. Second Method

If you prefer to clone the repository directly, follow these steps:

1. Select Use this template from the main GitHub repository.
2. Create your new repository using this template.
3. Clone your new repository into your preferred IDE.
4. Run the following command:

bash
yarn install

5. You can also change into the individual directories (frontend, backend, hardhat) and run yarn install.

Running All Instances Simultaneously

To manage your backend, frontend, and local blockchain node concurrently from one terminal, simply execute:

bash
yarn dev

This command uses a package called concurrently, allowing you to run everything from a single terminal instance, making your development process smoother.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during installation, you can try the following commands:

bash
yarn global remove create-ether-dapp
yarn create ether-dapp my-dapp
