Configure your wallet and deploy

The default Tezos testing testnet is called Ghostnet.

⚠️ You need an account to deploy a contract with some tez (the Tezos native currency). The first time you deploy a contract with Taqueria, it is generating a new implicit account with 0 tez.

1. Deploy your contract to the testing environment. Ut forces Taqueria to generate a default account on a testing config file.

   taq deploy pokeGame.tz -e "testing"
   

   You should get this kind of log.

   Warning: the faucet field in network configs has been deprecated and will be ignored.
   A keypair with public key hash tz1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX was generated for you.
   To fund this account:
   1. Go to https://teztnets.xyz and click "Faucet" of the target testnet.
   2. Copy and paste the above key into the 'wallet address field.
   3. Request some Tez (Note that you might need to wait for a few seconds for the network to register the funds).
   No operations performed.
   

   • Choice N°1 (Recommended): Use alice wallet instead of the generated account. A common usage is to use alice account as Taqueria operator. alice is a common known address used on Tezos and she has always some tez. Replace the Taqueria config file for testing env .taq/config.local.testing.json with alice settings:

     {
       "networkName": "ghostnet",
       "accounts": {
         "taqOperatorAccount": {
           "publicKey": "edpkvGfYw3LyB1UcCahKQk4rF2tvbMUk8GFiTuMjL75uGXrpvKXhjn",
           "publicKeyHash": "tz1VSUr8wwNhLAzempoch5d6hLRiTh8Cjcjb",
           "privateKey": "edsk3QoqBuvdamxouPhin7swCvkQNgq4jP5KZPbwWNnwdZpSpJiEbq"
         }
       }
     }
     

   • Choice N°2: use the Taqueria generated account. Copy the account privateKey from the .taq/config.local.testing.json config file. Open your Temple browser extension on your computer or on your mobile phone and do the initial setup. Once you are done, go to Settings (click on the avatar icon, or display Temple in full page) and click on Import account > Private key tab. Paste the privateKey to Temple text input and confirm. Send free Tez to your new account via this web faucet Marigold faucet. Connect your wallet on Ghostnet and ask for free tez.

   Now you have some money to play with.

2. Deploy to Ghostnet testnet.

   taq deploy pokeGame.tz -e "testing"
   

   Your smart contract is deployed on the Ghostnet.

Create a react app

yarn create vite

Then follow the prompts. Choose React and then Typescript+SWC:

? Project name: › app #Enter your project name

? Select a framework: › - Use arrow-keys. Return to submit. # Select React as framework
    Vanilla
    Vue
❯   React
    Preact
    Lit
    Svelte
    Others

? Select a variant: › - Use arrow-keys. Return to submit. #Both TypeScript variants are fine. Select TypeScript only.
    TypeScript
❯   TypeScript + SWC
    JavaScript
    JavaScript + SWC

More information about SWC here.

1. Add taquito and tzkt indexer libraries.

   cd app
   yarn add @taquito/taquito @taquito/beacon-wallet @airgap/beacon-sdk  @tzkt/sdk-api
   yarn add -D @airgap/beacon-types
   

   ⚠️ Before starting, add the following dependencies in order to resolve polyfill issues. Some dependencies are from NodeJs, thus not included in browsers.

2. For example, in my case, I installed this:

   yarn add --dev process buffer crypto-browserify stream-browserify assert stream-http https-browserify os-browserify url path-browserify
   

3. Create a new file nodeSpecific.ts in the src folder of your project and edit with this content:

   touch src/nodeSpecific.ts
   

   import { Buffer } from "buffer";
   
   globalThis.Buffer = Buffer;
   

4. Open the index.html file and replace the body with this one:

   <body>
     <div id="root"></div>
     <script type="module" src="/src/nodeSpecific.ts"></script>
     <script type="module" src="/src/main.tsx"></script>
   </body>
   

5. Open the vite.config.ts file and replace it with:

   import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react-swc";
   import path from "path";
   import { defineConfig } from "vite";
   // https://vitejs.dev/config/
   export default ({ command }) => {
     const isBuild = command === "build";
   
     return defineConfig({
       define: {},
       plugins: [react()],
       build: {
         commonjsOptions: {
           transformMixedEsModules: true,
         },
       },
       resolve: {
         alias: {
           // dedupe @airgap/beacon-sdk
           // I almost have no idea why it needs `cjs` on dev and `esm` on build, but this is how it works 🤷‍♂️
           "@airgap/beacon-sdk": path.resolve(
             path.resolve(),
             `./node_modules/@airgap/beacon-sdk/dist/${
               isBuild ? "esm" : "cjs"
             }/index.js`
           ),
           stream: "stream-browserify",
           os: "os-browserify/browser",
           util: "util",
           process: "process/browser",
           buffer: "buffer",
           crypto: "crypto-browserify",
           assert: "assert",
           http: "stream-http",
           https: "https-browserify",
           url: "url",
           path: "path-browserify",
         },
       },
     });
   };
   

Generate the Typescript classes from Michelson code and run the server

Taqueria is able to generate Typescript classes for any frontend application. It takes the definition of your smart contract and generates the contract entrypoint functions, type definitions, etc ...

To get typescript classes from taqueria plugin, on your project root folder run:

taq install @taqueria/plugin-contract-types
taq generate types ./app/src

1. Back to your frontend app, run the dev server.

   cd app
   yarn dev
   

2. Open your browser at: http://localhost:5173/ Your app should be running.

Connect / disconnect the wallet.

Declare two React Button components and display the user address and his balance.

Edit src/App.tsx file.

import { NetworkType } from "@airgap/beacon-types";
import { BeaconWallet } from "@taquito/beacon-wallet";
import { TezosToolkit } from "@taquito/taquito";
import * as api from "@tzkt/sdk-api";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import "./App.css";
import ConnectButton from "./ConnectWallet";
import DisconnectButton from "./DisconnectWallet";

function App() {
  api.defaults.baseUrl = "https://api.ghostnet.tzkt.io";

  const Tezos = new TezosToolkit("https://ghostnet.tezos.marigold.dev");
  const wallet = new BeaconWallet({
    name: "Training",
    preferredNetwork: NetworkType.GHOSTNET,
  });
  Tezos.setWalletProvider(wallet);

  useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      const activeAccount = await wallet.client.getActiveAccount();
      if (activeAccount) {
        setUserAddress(activeAccount.address);
        const balance = await Tezos.tz.getBalance(activeAccount.address);
        setUserBalance(balance.toNumber());
      }
    })();
  }, []);

  const [userAddress, setUserAddress] = useState<string>("");
  const [userBalance, setUserBalance] = useState<number>(0);

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <header className="App-header">
        <ConnectButton
          Tezos={Tezos}
          setUserAddress={setUserAddress}
          setUserBalance={setUserBalance}
          wallet={wallet}
        />

        <DisconnectButton
          wallet={wallet}
          setUserAddress={setUserAddress}
          setUserBalance={setUserBalance}
        />

        <div>
          I am {userAddress} with {userBalance} mutez
        </div>
      </header>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

1. Let's create the 2 missing src component files:

   touch src/ConnectWallet.tsx
   touch src/DisconnectWallet.tsx
   

   ConnectWallet button creates an instance wallet, gets user permissions via a popup and then retrieves the current account information.

2. Edit ConnectWallet.tsx

   import { NetworkType } from "@airgap/beacon-sdk";
   import { BeaconWallet } from "@taquito/beacon-wallet";
   import { TezosToolkit } from "@taquito/taquito";
   import { Dispatch, SetStateAction } from "react";
   
   type ButtonProps = {
     Tezos: TezosToolkit;
     setUserAddress: Dispatch<SetStateAction<string>>;
     setUserBalance: Dispatch<SetStateAction<number>>;
     wallet: BeaconWallet;
   };
   
   const ConnectButton = ({
     Tezos,
     setUserAddress,
     setUserBalance,
     wallet,
   }: ButtonProps): JSX.Element => {
     const connectWallet = async (): Promise<void> => {
       try {
         await wallet.requestPermissions({
           network: {
             type: NetworkType.GHOSTNET,
             rpcUrl: "https://ghostnet.tezos.marigold.dev",
           },
         });
         // gets user's address
         const userAddress = await wallet.getPKH();
         const balance = await Tezos.tz.getBalance(userAddress);
         setUserBalance(balance.toNumber());
         setUserAddress(userAddress);
       } catch (error) {
         console.log(error);
       }
     };
   
     return (
       <div className="buttons">
         <button className="button" onClick={connectWallet}>
           <span>
             <i className="fas fa-wallet"></i>&nbsp; Connect with wallet
           </span>
         </button>
       </div>
     );
   };
   
   export default ConnectButton;
   

3. Edit DisconnectWallet.tsx. The button cleans the wallet instance and all linked objects.

   import { BeaconWallet } from "@taquito/beacon-wallet";
   import { Dispatch, SetStateAction } from "react";
   
   interface ButtonProps {
     wallet: BeaconWallet;
     setUserAddress: Dispatch<SetStateAction<string>>;
     setUserBalance: Dispatch<SetStateAction<number>>;
   }
   
   const DisconnectButton = ({
     wallet,
     setUserAddress,
     setUserBalance,
   }: ButtonProps): JSX.Element => {
     const disconnectWallet = async (): Promise<void> => {
       setUserAddress("");
       setUserBalance(0);
       console.log("disconnecting wallet");
       await wallet.clearActiveAccount();
     };
   
     return (
       <div className="buttons">
         <button className="button" onClick={disconnectWallet}>
           <i className="fas fa-times"></i>&nbsp; Disconnect wallet
         </button>
       </div>
     );
   };
   
   export default DisconnectButton;
   

4. Save both file, the dev server should refresh the page.

   As Temple is configured, click on Connect button.

   On the popup, select your Temple wallet, then your account and connect.

   

   Your are logged.

5. Click on the Disconnect button to test the disconnection, and then reconnect.

List other poke contracts via an indexer

Instead of querying heavily the rpc node to search where are located all other similar contracts and retrieve each address, use an indexer. an indexer is a kind of enriched cache API on top of an rpc node. On this example, the TZKT indexer is used to find other similar contracts.

1. You need to install jq to parse the Taqueria json configuration file. Install jq

2. On package.json, change the dev command on scripts configuration. Prefix it with a jq command to create an new environment variable pointing to your last smart contract address on testing env:

       "dev": "jq -r '\"VITE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=\" + last(.tasks[]).output[0].address' ../.taq/testing-state.json > .env && vite",
   

   The last deployed contract address on Ghostnet is set now on our frontend.

3. Add a button to fetch all similar contracts like yours, then display the list. Edit App.tsx and before the return of App function, add this section for the fetch function.

   const [contracts, setContracts] = useState<Array<api.Contract>>([]);
   
   const fetchContracts = () => {
     (async () => {
       setContracts(
         await api.contractsGetSimilar(import.meta.env.VITE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS, {
           includeStorage: true,
           sort: { desc: "id" },
         })
       );
     })();
   };
   

4. On the returned html template section, after the display of the user balance div I am {userAddress} with {userBalance} mutez, append this:

   <br />
   <div>
     <button onClick={fetchContracts}>Fetch contracts</button>
     {contracts.map((contract) =>
     <div>{contract.address}</div>
     )}
   </div>
   

5. Save your file and restart your server. Now, the start script generates the .env file containing the last deployed contract address.

   yarn dev
   

6. Go to your web browser and click on Fetch contracts button.

   

   Congratulations, you are able to list all similar deployed contracts.

Poke your contract

1. Import the Taqueria generated types on app/src/App.tsx.

   import { PokeGameWalletType } from "./pokeGame.types";
   

2. Add this new function after the previous fetch function, it calls the entrypoint for poking.

   const poke = async (contract: api.Contract) => {
     let c: PokeGameWalletType = await Tezos.wallet.at<PokeGameWalletType>(
       "" + contract.address
     );
     try {
       const op = await c.methods.default().send();
       await op.confirmation();
       alert("Tx done");
     } catch (error: any) {
       console.table(`Error: ${JSON.stringify(error, null, 2)}`);
     }
   };
   

   ⚠️ Normally, a call to c.methods.poke() function is expected by convention, but with an unique entrypoint, Michelson generates a unique default entrypoint name instead of having the name of the entrypoint function. Also, be careful because all entrypoints function names are in lowercase, and all parameter types are in uppercase.

3. Replace the line displaying the contract address {contracts.map((contract) => <div>{contract.address}</div>)} with the one below, it adds a Poke button.

       {contracts.map((contract) => <div>{contract.address} <button onClick={() =>poke(contract)}>Poke</button></div>)}
   

4. Save and see the page refreshed, then click on the Poke button.

   

   It calls the contract and add your public address tz1... to the set of traces.
