# nextjs-truffle-tailwindcss-boilerplate
This boilerplate comes with everything you need to start using smart contracts from a Nextjs-tailwindcss app. This is as barebones as it gets, so nothing stands in your way.
First ensure you are in a new and empty directory.
git clone https://github.com/paschal533/next-truffle-tailwindcss-boilerplate.git
. This will install all necessary dependencies. A Nextjs-tailwindcss is generated in the root directory, and a Solidity-truffle contract is generated in the Smart_contract directory.git clone https://github.com/paschal533/next-truffle-tailwindcss-boilerplate.git
Cd into the Smart_contract directory and run
truffle develop
Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note inside the development console we don't preface commands with truffle
.
compile
migrate
In the root
directory, we run the Nextjs app. Smart contract changes must be manually recompiled and migrated.
// in another terminal (i.e. not in the truffle develop prompt)
npm run start
Truffle can run tests written in Solidity or JavaScript against your smart contracts. Note the command varies slightly if you're in or outside of the development console.
// inside the development console.
test
// outside the development console..
truffle test
Jest is included for testing React components. Compile your contracts before running Jest, or you may receive some file not found errors.
// ensure you are inside the client directory when running this
npm run test
To build the application for production, use the build script. A production build will be in the .next
folder.
// ensure you are inside the client directory when running this
npm run build
How do I use this with the Ganache-CLI?
It's as easy as modifying the config file! Check out our documentation on adding network configurations.
Where is my production build?
The production build will be in the .next
folder after running npm run build
in the root
folder.
Where can I find more documentation?
This boilerplate is a marriage of Truffle and a Nextjs setup created with create-nextjs-app. Either one would be a great place to start!
