Develop with Truffle · Developer Portal

Overview

Truffle is one of the most popular development tools in the Ethereum community. ThunderCore is fast and EVM-compatible, so developers can use Ethereum development tools, including Solidity and Truffle, to develop dapps on ThunderCore. We prepared a Truffle box, thunder-box, for developers. This tutorial will help you use our thunder box to quickly set up your dev environment.

Get Started

First, ensure you are in a new and empty directory and that you have nodejs in your environment.

Run the unbox command via npx and skip to step 3.

npx truffle unbox thundercore/thunder-box

Alternatively, you can install Truffle globally and run the unbox command.

npm install -g truffle
truffle unbox thundercore/thunder-box

Run the development console.

truffle develop

Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note inside the development console we don't preface commands with truffle.

compile
migrate

Alternatively, you can run the following to compile and migrate the smart contracts.

npm run compile
npm run migrate

To clean up previously built contracts:

npm clean

Develop on Thunder Testnet and Mainnet

Get thunder tokens. Please follow this instruction to get your tokens.
To set up the control of accounts for deployment do one of the following:
1. Write your 12-word mnemonic (seed phrase) to a file named .mnemonic
2. Export your account private keys, one per line, to a file named .private-keys

# If you use private keys
mv .private-keys.template .private-keys

# in .private-keys file, copy your private keys

d92a96fa691a7c31b2e2891de05cacc85d562b128afa6bb8f7108aac7...

# If you prefer mnemonic
mv .mnemonic.template .mnemonic

# In .mnemonic file, copy your mnemonic, seperated by spaces
dog cat apple bird ...

Compile and migrate your contract for testnet and mainnet

# Compile to testnet
npm run compile:testnet
# is equal to 
truffle compile --network thunder-testnet

# ---

# Compile to mainnet
npm run compile:mainnet
# is equal to 
truffle compile --network thunder-mainnet

# ---

# Migrate to testnet
npm run migrate:testnet
# is equal to 
truffle migrate --network thunder-testnet

# ---

# Migrate to mainnet
npm run migrate:mainnet
# is equal to 
truffle migrate --network thunder-mainnet
