OVERVIEW

A world class development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for blockchains using the gchain, aiming to make life as a developer easier. With Gkit, you get:

• One-click contract compilation and development.
• Automated contract testing for rapid development.
• Friendly code Review and automated error fixing.
• Lots of contract templates for reference.
• Scriptable, extensible deployment & migrations framework.
• Network management for deploying to any number of public & private networks.
• Interactive console for direct contract communication.

INSTALLATION

sudo npm install -g gkit-framework

Requirements

NodeJS 8.0+.

Linux、MacOSX、Windows

CREATING A PROJECT

To view all Gkit commands, you need to run gkit or gkit -h.

To start a contract, you need create a new empty directory first, and then entry the directory:

mkdir testing
cd testing

And then initialize a project. Using -c or --contract to specify a name. Now you have some templates to choose, the first one is contract only, and the others are DAPP framework with ui.

gkit init

Contract Project structure:

```
|--build        // built WebAssembly targets
|--contract     // contract source files
|--migrations   // assign built files location and account who will deploy the contract
|--templates    // some contract templates that will guide you
|--test         // test files 
|--config.js    // configuration
...
```

LINT CONTRACTS

With the help of gkit-lint, a customized tslint project, you will be find errors and warnings and then fix them quickly. Just entry into the root directory of your contract project and execute:

gkit lint

COMPILE CONTRACTS

Depend on the compiling tool gchain-asm-script，smart contract will be compiled to WebAsssembly target files: *.abi, *.wast, *.wasm. Just entry into the root directory of your contract project and execute:

gkit build

DEPLOY CONTRACTS

Updating and configuring the config.js and migrate.js files, make sure you have make a successful connection with the gchain chain node. The nodgchain can be a integrated envirnment if you use longclaw in docker or maybe an customized node by yourself. Just entry into the root directory of your contract project and execute:

gkit deploy

TEST CONTRACTS

Referring to *.spec.js files in the test directory, write your own test file and try to cover all the case about the contract. Gkit provides you lots of tool classes such as mocha, chai, g3.js and g3-utils for writing test case, especially handling async test.

Just entry into the root directory of your contract project and execute:

gkit test

INTEGRATED WITH UI

If you want to easily convert a contract project into a DAPP project, you only need to use the ui subcommand, and you have three main front-end templates to choose from vue-boilerplate、react-boilerplate and react-native-boilerplate.

Just entry into the root directory of your contract project and execute:

gkit ui
