Installation

Clone this repo

$ git clone gitUrl ***

Create an account with geth (create a passphrase):

$ geth account new

Start a local geth node instace (then hit 'enter' to promt passphrase input):

$ geth --rpc --rpcaddr="0.0.0.0" --rpccorsdomain="*" --mine --unlock=0 --verbosity=5 --maxpeers=0 --minerthreads="4"

Start the app using Meteor

$ cd meteor-dapp-boilerplate-semanticUI/app
$ meteor

File Structure

This file structure is largley modification of SilentCicero's boilerplate which in turn is based on Differentials boilerplate, but with client-only directories. Client-only files are stored in the client directory. The public directory is for publicly accessible assets such as images and fonts. The i18n directory is for language files.

Semantic-ui and LESS

Since flemay:less-autoprefixer compiles LESS files you don't need any other less package.

please see Semantic-UI-Meteor docummentatio for file structure and other important directions

Favicons and Touch Icons

Upload your image to http://realfavicongenerator.net/ and place the resulting images in public/images/favicons

Private Network

If you would like to test your dApp with a local private Ethereum node, a test-genesis.json file is provided in the app folder. This is an example command line to run your own private network:

$ geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain "*" --genesis test-genesis.json --networkid 1234 --mine --unlock 0

Unit Testing

All tests are stored in the app/tests directory. By default the Mocha testing framework is not installed, but some example tests are provided with this boilerplate. In order to activate Mocha/Velocity you must edit app/.meteor/packages and uncomment #mike:mocha to mike:mocha. A testing button will appear on the top right hand corner of your dApp. Remember to remove the mocha package for deployment and production.

Add Mocha/Velocity

$ meteor add mike:mocha

Remove Mocha/Velocity

$ meteor remove mike:mocha

Please refer to this page for more on unit testing in Meteor: https://velocity.readme.io/
