Roadmap

This is a tentative roadmap to guide our exploration. To the future!

• 0.1 Release - basic subcommands and libraries for testing

  • commands for deploying and interacting with contracts, use json files for now

• 0.2 Release - basic whisper support

  • commands for sending and listening to messages

• 0.3 Release - ssb config

  • switch to using an ssb alternet for storing configs, artifacts, and messages
  • including sharing reproducible builds across the universe

• 0.4 Release - browserified with webpack?

  • depends on what's useful. also, we'll see if ssb can be webpack'd

REPL

To experiment with and administer Ethereum contracts, it's useful to have a central console able to attach to any JSONRPC endpoint, whether it's on the mainnet or one of the third-generation testnets (Ropsten, Kovan, or the upcoming Rinkeby).

Use preamble.js to include some boilerplate JSONRPC connection code, which connects to a Ganache local private testnet on localhost:8545 by default.

node -i -e "web3 = require('./js/preamble')('test')"

An example session looks like:

$ node -i -e "web3 = require('./js/preamble')('test').web3"
