System requriements

Install blockchain simulator client Ganache-CLI like localhost running on default port 8545

  npm install -g ganache-cli

Once it's installed, you can check if it works by simply running the global ganache-cli command in a new terminal window:

  ganache-cli

You are now running a local Ethereum node with some (fake) wallets that you can send money from.

 mkdir Tweether
 cd Tweether
 npm init

Compiling our Solidity program

• Node-based Solidity compiler called solc.

npm install solc --save

• Web3.js is a JavaScript API that sends requests to the Ethereum blockchain (either the real one or your local one). It acts as the middleman between your frontend and your smart contracts

npm install web3 --save

• run node index.js to deploy your smart contract.

npm install -g truffle

tweether's Issues

unit and integration test cases fails by restructuring Dapp

• Unfortunately, in the process of restructuring our app we've also completely broken our tests

Authentication in Dapp

In our DApp however, we are storing the user info on the blockchain (more precisely, in the UserStorage contract), and not in our own private database. Signing a message will therefore not be enough. We will however use the same concept of associating an Ethereum address to a user profile.
