Parity Dapps (JS-glue)

Code generator to simplify creating a built-in Parity Dapp

How to create new builtin Dapp.

1. Clone this repository.

   $ git clone https://github.com/paritytech/parity.git
   

2. Create a new directory for your Dapp. (./myapp)

   $ mkdir -p ./parity/dapps/myapp/src/web
   

3. Copy your frontend files to ./dapps/myapp/src/web (bundled ones)

   $ cp -r ./myapp-src/* ./parity/dapps/myapp/src/web
   

4. Instead of creating web3 in your app. Load (as the first script tag in head):

   <script src="/parity-utils/inject.js"></script>
   

   The inject.js script will create global web3 instance with proper provider that should be used by your dapp.

5. Create ./parity/dapps/myapp/Cargo.toml with you apps details. See example here: parity-status Cargo.toml.

   $ git clone https://github.com/paritytech/parity-ui.git
   $ cd ./parity-ui/
   $ cp ./home/Cargo.toml ../parity/dapps/myapp/Cargo.toml
   $ cp ./home/build.rs ../parity/dapps/myapp/build.rs
   $ cp ./home/src/lib.rs ../parity/dapps/myapp/src/lib.rs
   $ cp ./home/src/lib.rs.in ../parity/dapps/myapp/src/lib.rs.in
   # And edit the details of your app
   $ vim ../parity/dapps/myapp/Cargo.toml # Edit the details
   $ vim ./parity/dapps/myapp/src/lib.rs.in # Edit the details
   

How to include your Dapp into Parity?

1. Edit dapps/Cargo.toml and add dependency to your application (it can be optional)

   # Use git repo and version
   parity-dapps-myapp = { path="./myapp" }
   

2. Edit dapps/src/apps.rs and add your application to all_pages (if it's optional you need to specify two functions - see parity-dapps-wallet example)

3. Compile parity.

   $ cargo build --release # While inside `parity`
   

4. Commit the results.

   $ git add myapp && git commit -am "My first Parity Dapp".
