Welcome to your essential guide for diving into the exciting world of Full Stack Ethereum Development! This blog will walk you through the steps to deploy your own Ethereum application, providing an easy-to-follow roadmap to get you started.

What You Will Need

• A GitHub account
• Basic knowledge of JavaScript
• Node.js installed on your machine
• A willingness to learn!

Getting Started with Gitpod

First things first! We are going to deploy the project to Gitpod. Here are the steps:

• Click on the button below to open your project in Gitpod.

• Once the setup is complete, import the RPC endpoint running on Gitpod into your wallet as a custom RPC. Your RPC endpoint will likely look something like this:

https://8545-sapphire-pigeon-ui.roo9v8.ws-eu18.gitpod.io

• The ChainID should be set to 1337, and if you have a localhost configuration, you may need to delete it.

Running Your Project Locally

If you prefer to work directly on your local machine rather than Gitpod, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository by running the command:

git clone https://github.com/dabit3/full-stack-ethereum.git

2. Next, navigate to the project directory and install the necessary dependencies. You can do this with:

npm install

3. Alternatively, you could use Yarn:

yarn

4. Start your local test node with:

npx hardhat node

5. Deploy your contract using the command:

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost

6. Update src/App.js with the values of your contract addresses (specifically greeterAddress and tokenAddress).
7. Finally, run the app using:

npm start

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Think of your Ethereum app as a well-functioning restaurant. Each step in the code is akin to a crucial part of the restaurant’s operations:

• Clone the repository: This is like pointing your customers to the right restaurant; you’re getting them through the door.
• Install dependencies: Just as a chef gathers ingredients, you’re gathering essential libraries needed to cook up your app.
• Start the local test node: This is analogous to preparing your kitchen. You need a clean environment to cook delicious meals (or in this case, develop your application).
• Deploy the contract: This step is akin to launching your restaurant menu for the world to enjoy!
• Update the app: Just like adjusting your recipes based on feedback, you’re tailoring the app to incorporate your contract addresses.
• Run the app: Finally, just as you’d open the doors of your restaurant to serve customers, you’re launching your application for users to interact with!

Troubleshooting Your Development

As with any project, you might encounter some hiccups along the way:

• Ensure your Node.js and npm installations are up to date. Running old versions can lead to compatibility issues.
• If your app isn’t compiling, check for syntax errors in your code.
• If Gitpod isn’t working, ensure you’ve copied the RPC endpoint correctly and that your wallet is configured to use the right Network ID.
• If you run into any peculiar error messages during deployment, search for them online or check the documentation for guidance.
