Important
A lot of the codebase here no longer works due to Moralis closing down their backend servers. We are building a new full-stack course on Cyfrin Updraft this year, stay tuned!
- Full-Stack Setup
- Minimal Quickstart
In it's own terminal / command line, run:
git clone https://github.com/PatrickAlphaC/hardhat-nft-marketplace-fcc cd hardhat-nextjs-nft-marketplace-fcc yarn After installing dependencies, start a node on it's own terminal with:
yarn hardhat node Setup your event moralis. You'll need a new moralis server to get started.
Sign up for a free account here.
Once setup, update / create your .env file. You can use .env.example as a boilerplate.
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ID=XXXX NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL=XXXX moralisApiKey=XXX moralisSubdomain=XXX masterKey=XXX chainId=31337 With the values from your account.
Then, in your ./package.json update the following lines:
"moralis:sync": "moralis-admin-cli connect-local-devchain --chain hardhat --moralisSubdomain XXX.usemoralis.com --frpcPath ./frp/frpc", "moralis:cloud": "moralis-admin-cli watch-cloud-folder --moralisSubdomain XXX.usemoralis.com --autoSave 1 --moralisCloudfolder ./cloudFunctions", "moralis:logs": "moralis-admin-cli get-logs --moralisSubdomain XXX.usemoralis.com" Replace the XXX.usemoralis.com with your subdomain, like 4444acatycat.usemoralis.com and update the moralis:sync script's path to your instance of frp (downloaded as part of the Moralis "Devchain Proxy Server" instructions mentioned above)
yarn global add moralis-admin-cli Optionally: On your server, click on "View Details" and then "Devchain Proxy Server" and follow the instructions. You'll want to use the
hardhatconnection.
- Download the latest reverse proxy code from FRP and add the binary to
./frp/frpc. - Replace your content in
frpc.ini, based on your devchain. You can find the information on theDevChain Proxy Servertab of your moralis server.
In some Windows Versions, FRP could be blocked by firewall, just use a older release, for example frp_0.34.3_windows_386
Mac / Windows Troubleshooting: https://docs.moralis.io/faq#frpc
Once you've got all this, you can run:
yarn moralis:sync You'll know you've done it right when you can see a green connected button after hitting the refresh symbol next to DISCONNECTED. You'll want to keep this connection running.
Anytime you reset your hardhat node, you'll need to press the RESET LOCAL CHAIN button on your UI!
In a separate terminal (you'll have a few up throughout these steps)
Run yarn moralis:cloud in one terminal, and run yarn moralis:logs in another. If you don't have moralis-admin-cli installed already, install it globally with yarn global add moralis-admin-cli.
Note: You can stop these after running them once if your server is at max CPU capactity.
If you hit the little down arrow in your server, then hit Cloud Functions you should see text in there.
Make sure you've run yarn moralis:sync from the previous step to connect your local Hardhat devchain with your Moralis instance. You'll need these 3 moralis commands running at the same time.
node watchEvents.js Finally, go to View Details -> Sync and hit Add New Sync -> Sync and Watch Contract Events
Add all 3 events by adding it's information, like so:
- ItemListed:
- Description: ItemListed
- Sync_historical: True
- Topic: ItemListed(address,address,uint256,uint256)
- Abi:
{ "anonymous": false, "inputs": [ { "indexed": true, "internalType": "address", "name": "seller", "type": "address" }, { "indexed": true, "internalType": "address", "name": "nftAddress", "type": "address" }, { "indexed": true, "internalType": "uint256", "name": "tokenId", "type": "uint256" }, { "indexed": false, "internalType": "uint256", "name": "price", "type": "uint256" } ], "name": "ItemListed", "type": "event" } 5. Address: <YOUR_NFT_MARKETPLACE_DEPLOYED_ADDRESS_FROM_HARDHAT> 6. TableName: ItemListed You can add the canceled and bought events later.
Back in the main directory, run:
yarn hardhat run scripts/mint-and-list-item.js --network localhost And you'll now have an NFT listed on your marketplace.
At this point, you'll have a few terminals running:
- Your Hardhat Node
- Your Hardhat Node syncing with your moralis server
- Your Cloud Functions syncing
- Your Moralis Logging
And you're about to have one more for your front end.
yarn run dev And you'll have your front end, indexing service running, and blockchain running.
- Clone the backend repo
git clone https://github.com/PatrickAlphaC/hardhat-nft-marketplace-fcc cd hardhat-nextjs-nft-marketplace-fcc yarn yarn hardhat node Leave that terminal running^
- Clone the frontend
git clone https://github.com/PatrickAlphaC/nextjs-nft-marketplace-moralis-fcc cd nextjs-nft-marketplace-moralis-fcc yarn Setup your .env with moralis info and update your package.json with moralis subdomain.
- Sync your hardhat node with moralis
Update your frpc.ini file with what you see in the moralis UI.
Leave this terminal running:
yarn moralis:sync - Watch for events && Update cloud functions
Run once:
yarn moralis:cloud node watchEvents.js - Emit an event
Back in your hardhat project, run:
yarn hardhat run scripts/mint-and-list-item.js --network localhost And you should see it updated in the database
