Hacker Houses Streams

We're running an experiment to retroactively fund open-source work by providing a monthly UBI to open-source developers, handpicked by Jessy and Jessy's Hacker House, and rewarding them for their ongoing contributions to the ecosystem.

Chosen developers can submit their monthly projects, automatically claim grant streams, and showcase their work to the public.

This initiative is made possible by BuidlGuidl!

When forking, TLDR:

• Paste your builder's addresses into builderList.ts.
• Check the contract deploy script in packages/hardhat/deploy/00_deploy_your_contract.ts.
• Make sure to check packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts.
  • You might want to change targetNetwork to chains.hardhat for local testing.
• When you deploy to a live network, copy .env.example to .env.local and set NEXT_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_BLOCK to the right value (it optimizes the reading of events)
  • Make sure to add that ENVAR to your Vercel project as well.

Requirements

Before you begin, you need to install the following tools:

• Node (v18 LTS)
• Yarn (v1.x)
• Git

Quickstart

To get started follow the steps below:

1. Clone/Fork this repo & install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/buidlguidl/hacker-houses-streams.git
cd hacker-houses-streams
yarn install

2. Start your NextJS app:

yarn start

Visit your app on: http://localhost:3000.

---

If you want to test the contract locally, you can do so by following steps 3 and 4. Remember to can tweak the app config in packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts so it points to the local network.

If your app is pointing to a live network, copy .env.example to .env and fill in the required keys.

3. Run a local network on a second terminal:

yarn chain

This command starts a local Ethereum network using Hardhat. The network runs on your local machine and can be used for testing and development. You can customize the network configuration in hardhat.config.js.

4. On a third terminal, deploy the test contract:

yarn deploy

This command deploys a test smart contract to the local network. The contract is located in packages/hardhat/contracts and can be modified to suit your needs. The yarn deploy command uses the deploy script located in packages/hardhat/deploy to deploy the contract to the network. You can also customize the deploy script.

Deploying your Smart Contracts to a Live Network

Once you are ready to deploy your smart contracts, there are a few things you need to adjust.

1. Select the network

By default, yarn deploy will deploy the contract to the local network. You can change the defaultNetwork in packages/hardhat/hardhat.config.js. You could also simply run yarn deploy --network target_network to deploy to another network.

Check the hardhat.config.js for the networks that are pre-configured. You can also add other network settings to the hardhat.config.js file. Here are the Alchemy docs for information on specific networks.

Example: To deploy the contract to the Sepolia network, run the command below:

yarn deploy --network sepolia

2. Generate a new account or add one to deploy the contract(s) from. Additionally you will need to add your Alchemy API key. Rename .env.example to .env and fill the required keys.

ALCHEMY_API_KEY="",
DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY=""

The deployer account is the account that will deploy your contracts. Additionally, the deployer account will be used to execute any function calls that are part of your deployment script.

You can generate a random account / private key with yarn generate or add the private key of your crypto wallet. yarn generate will create a random account and add the DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY to the .env file. You can check the generated account with yarn account.

3. Deploy your smart contract(s)

Run the command below to deploy the smart contract to the target network. Make sure to have some funds in your deployer account to pay for the transaction.

yarn deploy --network network_name

4. Verify your smart contract

You can verify your smart contract on Etherscan by running:

yarn verify --network network_name

Deploying your NextJS App

Run yarn vercel and follow the steps to deploy to Vercel. Once you log in (email, github, etc), the default options should work. It'll give you a public URL.

If you want to redeploy to the same production URL you can run yarn vercel --prod. If you omit the --prod flag it will deploy it to a preview/test URL.

Make sure your packages/nextjs/scaffold.config.ts file has the values you need.

Hint: We recommend connecting the project GitHub repo to Vercel so you the gets automatically deployed when pushing to main

Disabling type and linting error checks

Hint Typescript helps you catch errors at compile time, which can save time and improve code quality, but can be challenging for those who are new to the language or who are used to the more dynamic nature of JavaScript. Below are the steps to disable type & lint check at different levels

Disabling commit checks

We run pre-commit git hook which lints the staged files and don't let you commit if there is an linting error.

To disable this, go to .husky/pre-commit file and comment out yarn lint-staged --verbose

- yarn lint-staged --verbose
+ # yarn lint-staged --verbose

Deploying to Vercel without any checks

Vercel by default runs types and lint checks while developing build and deployment fails if there is a types or lint error.

To ignore types and lint error checks while deploying, use :

yarn vercel:yolo

Disabling Github Workflow

We have github workflow setup checkout .github/workflows/lint.yaml which runs types and lint error checks every time code is pushed to main branch or pull request is made to main branch

To disable it, delete .github directory
