Requirements

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

• Node (>= v18.17)
• pnpm
• Git

Quickstart

To get started with Xchange Create, follow the steps below:

1. Install from NPM Registry and follow the CLI instructions.

npx xchange-create@latest

💬 Hint: If you choose Foundry as solidity framework in the CLI, you'll also need Foundryup installed in your machine. Checkout: getfoundry.sh

2. Run a local network in the first terminal:

pnpm run chain

This command starts a local Ethereum network using Hardhat or Foundry, depending on which one you selected in the CLI. The network runs on your local machine and can be used for testing and development. You can customize the network configuration in:

• packages/hardhat/hardhat.config.ts if you have Hardhat as solidity framework.
• packages/foundry/foundry.toml if you have Foundry as solidity framework.

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

pnpm run task deploy:all

This command deploys a test smart contract to the local network. The contract can be modified to suit your needs. Is located in:

• Hardhat => packages/hardhat/contracts
• Foundry => packages/foundry/contracts

The pnpm run deploy command uses a deploy script to deploy the contract to the network. You can customize it. Is located in:

• Hardhat => packages/hardhat/deploy
• Foundry => packages/foundry/script

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

pnpm run start

Visit your app on: http://localhost:3000. You can interact with your smart contract using the Debug Contracts page. You can tweak the app config in packages/nextjs/xchange.config.ts.

Run smart contract test with pnpm run hardhat:test or pnpm run foundry:test depending of your solidity framework.

What's next:

• Edit your smart contract TestContract.sol in packages/hardhat/contracts
• Edit your frontend homepage at packages/nextjs/app/page.tsx. For guidance on routing and configuring pages/layouts checkout the Next.js documentation.
• Edit your deployment scripts in packages/hardhat/deploy
• Edit your smart contract test in: packages/hardhat/test. To run test use pnpm run hardhat:test
