Vue Ethereum Ipfs
Distributed Application Starter: Vue front-end, Ethereum / IPFS Backend
Overview
The vue-ethereum-ipfs is a distributed application starter that utilizes the Vue framework for building client-side webapps, Ethereum as the backend for running smart contracts, and IPFS as a distributed content distribution network. It allows for the creation of nearly indestructible webapps by storing the app's state inside Ethereum and using IPFS to deliver the HTML. This guide provides instructions on how to use this starter kit to create Vue apps that integrate with Ethereum.
Features
- Utilizes Vue framework for building webapps
- Integrates with Ethereum to run smart contracts
- Uses IPFS for distributed content delivery
- Provides a local Ethereum test network with Ganache CLI
- Allows for easy development of smart contracts using Remix Ethereum IDE
- Demonstrates contract factory pattern with example code
Summary
The vue-ethereum-ipfs distributed application starter allows for the creation of indestructible Vue apps by utilizing Ethereum and IPFS. By keeping the app's state inside Ethereum and using IPFS for content delivery, the apps become highly resilient. The installation process involves setting up IPFS and MetaMask, installing Ganache CLI and Truffle, and integrating the Vue packages with the Ethereum backend. Contracts can be easily developed using Remix Ethereum IDE and the example code provided in the starter kit.
