Soroban Frontend in Astro

A Frontend Template suitable for use with soroban contract init --frontend-template, powered by Astro.

Getting Started

• cp .env.example .env
• npm install
• npm run dev

How it works

If you look in package.json, you'll see that the start & dev scripts first run the initialize.js script. This script loops over all contracts in contracts/* and, for each:

1. Deploys to a local network (needs to be running with docker run or soroban network start)
2. Saves contract IDs to .soroban/contract-ids
3. Generates TS bindings for each into the packages folder, which is set up as an npm workspace
4. Create a file in src/contracts that imports the contract client and initializes it for the standalone network.

You're now ready to import these initialized contract clients in your Astro templates or your React, Svelte, Vue, Alpine, Lit, and whatever else JS files. You can see an example of this in index.astro.
