🏗 Scaffold-ETH 2

🧪 An open-source, up-to-date toolkit for building decentralized applications (dapps) on the Ethereum blockchain. It's designed to make it easier for developers to create and deploy smart contracts and build user interfaces that interact with those contracts.

⚙️ Built using NextJS, RainbowKit, Hardhat, Wagmi and Typescript.

• ✅ Contract Hot Reload: Your frontend auto-adapts to your smart contract as you edit it.
• 🔥 Burner Wallet & Local Faucet: Quickly test your application with a burner wallet and local faucet.
• 🔐 Integration with Wallet Providers: Connect to different wallet providers and interact with the Ethereum network.

Requirements

Before you begin, you need to install the following tools:

• Node (v18 LTS)
• Yarn (v1 or v2+)
• Git

Quickstart

To get started with Scaffold-ETH 2, follow the steps below:

1. Clone this repo & install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth-2.git
cd scaffold-eth-2
yarn install

2. Run a local network in the first terminal:

yarn chain

This command starts a local Ethereum network using Hardhat. The network runs on your local machine and can be used for testing and development. You can customize the network configuration in hardhat.config.ts.

3. On a second terminal, deploy the test contract:

yarn deploy

This command deploys a test smart contract to the local network. The contract is located in packages/hardhat/contracts and can be modified to suit your needs. The yarn deploy command uses the deploy script located in packages/hardhat/deploy to deploy the contract to the network. You can also customize the deploy script.

4. On a third terminal, start your NextJS app:

yarn start

Visit your app on: http://localhost:3000. You can interact with your smart contract using the contract component or the example ui in the frontend. You can tweak the app config in packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts.

Run smart contract test with yarn hardhat:test

• Edit your smart contract YourContract.sol in packages/hardhat/contracts
• Edit your frontend in packages/nextjs/pages
• Edit your deployment scripts in packages/hardhat/deploy

Deploying your Smart Contracts to a Live Network

Once you are ready to deploy your smart contracts, there are a few things you need to adjust.

1. Select the network

By default, yarn deploy will deploy the contract to the local network. You can change the defaultNetwork in packages/hardhat/hardhat.config.ts. You could also simply run yarn deploy --network target_network to deploy to another network.

Check the hardhat.config.ts for the networks that are pre-configured. You can also add other network settings to the hardhat.config.ts file. Here are the Alchemy docs for information on specific networks.

Example: To deploy the contract to the Sepolia network, run the command below:

yarn deploy --network sepolia

2. Generate a new account or add one to deploy the contract(s) from. Additionally you will need to add your Alchemy API key. Rename .env.example to .env and fill the required keys.

ALCHEMY_API_KEY="",
DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY=""

The deployer account is the account that will deploy your contracts. Additionally, the deployer account will be used to execute any function calls that are part of your deployment script.

You can generate a random account / private key with yarn generate or add the private key of your crypto wallet. yarn generate will create a random account and add the DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY to the .env file. You can check the generated account with yarn account.

3. Deploy your smart contract(s)

Run the command below to deploy the smart contract to the target network. Make sure to have some funds in your deployer account to pay for the transaction.

yarn deploy --network network_name

4. Verify your smart contract

You can verify your smart contract on Etherscan by running:

yarn verify --network network_name

Deploying your NextJS App

Run yarn vercel and follow the steps to deploy to Vercel. Once you log in (email, github, etc), the default options should work. It'll give you a public URL.

If you want to redeploy to the same production URL you can run yarn vercel --prod. If you omit the --prod flag it will deploy it to a preview/test URL.

Make sure your packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts file has the values you need.

Hint: We recommend connecting the project GitHub repo to Vercel so you the gets automatically deployed when pushing to main

Hook Example

• useScaffoldContractRead
• useScaffoldContractWrite
• useScaffoldEventSubscriber
• useScaffoldEventHistory
• useDeployedContractInfo
• useScaffoldContract

useScaffoldContractRead:

Use this hook to read a value from your deployed contracts.

const { data: totalCounter } = useScaffoldContractRead({
  contractName: "YourContract",
  functionName: "getGreeting",
  args: ["ARGUMENTS IF THE FUNCTION ACCEPTS ANY"],
});

useScaffoldContractWrite:

Use this hook to write to your deployed contracts.

const { writeAsync, isLoading } = useScaffoldContractRead({
  contractName: "YourContract",
  functionName: "setGreeting",
  args: ["The value to set"],
  //value if the function is payable and sends eth to it
  value: "0.01",
});

useScaffoldEventSubscriber:

Use this to listen for an event emitted in the deployed smart contracts.

useScaffoldEventSubscriber({
  contractName: "YourContract",
  eventName: "GreetingChange",
  //parameters that the event emits
  //event GreetingChange(address greetingSetter, string newGreeting, bool premium, uint256 value);
  listener: (greetingSetter, newGreeting, premium, value) => {
    console.log(greetingSetter, newGreeting, premium, value);
  },
});

useScaffoldEventHistory:

Use this hook to read events from a deployed contract

const {
  data: events,
  isLoading: isLoadingEvents,
  error: errorReadingEvents,
  } = useScaffoldEventHistory({
  contractName: "YourContract",
  eventName: "GreetingChange",
  fromBlock: //the block number to start reading events from,
  blockData: true,
  filters: //filters to be applied to the event (parameterName: value),
  transactionData: //if set to true it will return the transaction data for each event (default: false),
  receiptData: //if set to true it will return the receipt data for each event (default: false),
});

useDeployedContractInfo:

Use this hook to get the matching contract info from the contracts file generated by yarn deploy

//contractName: name of the deployed contract
const { data: deployedContractData } = useDeployedContractInfo(contractName);

useScaffoldContract:

Use to gets a deployed contract by contract name and returns a contract instance Can also be use to read and write to the deployed smart contract

const { data: yourContract } = useScaffoldContract({
  contractName: "YourContract",
});
// will return the greeting and can be call in any function unlike useScaffoldContractRead
await yourContract?.greeting();

//can be use to write to a contract and can be called in any function
import { Signer } from "ethers";
import { useSigner } from "wagmi";

const { data: signer, isError, isLoading } = useSigner();
const { data: yourContract } = useScaffoldContract({
  contractName: "YourContract",
  signerOrProvider: signer as Signer,
});
const setGreeting = async () => {
  //call the method in any function
  await yourContract?.setGreeting("the greeting here");
};

Disabling type and linting error checks

Hint Typescript helps you catch errors at compile time, which can save time and improve code quality, but can be challenging for those who are new to the language or who are used to the more dynamic nature of JavaScript. Below are the steps to disable type & lint check at different levels

Disabling commit checks

We run pre-commit git hook which lints the staged files and don't let you commit if there is an linting error.

To disable this, go to .husky/pre-commit file and comment out yarn lint-staged --verbose

- yarn lint-staged --verbose
+ # yarn lint-staged --verbose

Deploying to Vercel without any checks

Vercel by default runs types and lint checks while developing build and deployment fails if there is a types or lint error.

To ignore types and lint error checks while deploying, use :

yarn vercel:yolo

Disabling Github Workflow

We have github workflow setup checkout .github/workflows/lint.yaml which runs types and lint error checks every time code is pushed to main branch or pull request is made to main branch

To disable it, delete .github directory
