Please ask for help on the Daml forum if you encounter any issue!

Development Quick Start

You need to have Node.js and Daml installed.

First, start the Daml components:

daml start

This will:

• Build you Daml code once.
• Generate JavaScript code (and TypeScript definitions) for your Daml types.
• Start a Daml sandbox gRPC server (on 6865).
• Start a Daml HTTP JSON API server (on 7575).
• Watch for the r key press (r + Enter on Windows); when pressed, rebuild all of the Daml code, push the new DAR to the ledger, and rerun the JS/TS code generation.

Next, start the JS dev server:

cd ui
npm install
npm start

This starts a server on http://localhost:3000 which:

• Builds all of your TypeScript (or JavaScript) code (including type definitions from the codegen).
• Serves the result on :3000, redirecting /v1 to the JSON API server (on localhost:7575) so API calls are on the same origin as far as your browser is concerned.
• Watch for changes in TS/JS code (including codegen), and immediately rebuild.

Deploying to Daml Hub

To build everything from scratch:

daml build
daml codegen js .daml/dist/FridgeApp-0.1.0.dar -o ui/daml.js
cd ui
npm install
npm run-script build
zip -r ../FridgeApp-ui.zip build

Next you need to create a ledger on Daml Hub, upload the files .daml/dist/FridgeApp-0.1.0.dar (created by the daml build command) and FridgeApp-ui.zip (created by the zip command based on the result of npm run-script build).

Once both files are uploaded, you need to tell Daml Hub to deploy them. A few seconds later, your website should be up and running.

Auth0 Authentication

This template comes with out-of-the-box support for Auth0 authentication. You can still test your app locally with no authentication, using the default configuration. You can run just the UI server locally, against a deployed, authenticated JSON API server running on a remote host, by starting the development server with:

REACT_APP_AUTH=auth0 \
REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=$YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN \
REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=$YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID \
REACT_APP_HTTP_JSON=$JSON_API_ADDRESS \
npm start

where:

• REACT_APP_AUTH explicitly activates the Auth0 login screen.
• REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN is the domain corresponding to your Auth0 tenant. You can find it as the Domain field on the Settings tab of your Auth0 application.
• REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID is the Client ID of your Auth0 "single page applications" application.
• REACT_APP_HTTP_JSON is the base URL of the JSON API, including scheme (always) and port (if different from default: 80 for http and 443 for https).

For this setup to work, you need a properly setup Auth0 tenant where localhost:3000 is listed as a valid callback URL in the application settings.

To build your application with Auth0 enabled, run:

REACT_APP_AUTH=auth0 \
REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN=$YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN \
REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=$YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID \
npm start
