Acala EVM Examples

ETHDenver Workshop Link: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/acala-ethdenver-2021

This workshop is for learning to use Acala EVM. It demonstrates how to deploy a simple ERC20 contract, a complex project like Uniswap, and use the on-chain scheduler function to build a recurring payment DApp.

Run

Start a development chain

Build & Run from source code

Or you can build & run from the Acala repo.

Follow the setup instruction at https://github.com/AcalaNetwork/Acala

Start the chain:

$ make run

Start the chain with evm compatibility mode:

$ make run-eth

Use Docker (not recommended)

You can use docker to run a development Acala Mandala chain, not recommended since docker image is not always up-to-date.

$ docker run --rm -p 9944:9944 acala/mandala-node:latest --dev --ws-external --rpc-methods=unsafe --instant-sealing  -levm=trace

Build and Run Examples

install rush if not already

npm install -g @microsoft/rush

or

yarn global add @microsoft/rush

install all dependencies

rush update

compile and build all contracts

rushx build    # only rebuild if source file changed
rushx rebuild  # force rebuild all

run all tests

rushx test

build and run together

rushx run

or we can run tests for a single example:

• cd into one of the example project
  • You can find your contract ABI in the build directory. You can upload these ABI files to acala evm playground for testing.
  • Run the tests with rushx test.

Development

update dep package version for all examples

rush add -p <package> --all
rush add -p @acala-network/bodhi@latest --all

update dep package version for a single example

cd <project>
rush add -p <package>

Tips and Docs

• rushx is an alternative to yarn, so we can also use yarn test instead of rushx test.
• The test cases are written with with ethers.js and waffle.
