New to Embark?

If you are new to Embark, see the Quick Guide or consult the wiki for a more complete documentation.

To Update to 0.7.0

npm update -g embark-framework

you'll need to add embark.yml file to your project and the folder tasks. run embark demo to see the differences.

In this release

This release completely decouples grunt allowing you to use any structure or build environment you wish, including meteor.

Meteor support

to try out meteor with embark:

embark meteor_demo
cd embark_demo

in one command line:

embark blockchain

and in another:
embark deploy to deploy the contracts and generate the bindings file

followed by:
meteor to run the server

note: embark run support might be added in future versions

Deploying to IPFS with Meteor

The build and IPFS commands are also supported. For building your meteor app for distribution simply do

embark build

note: this makes use of the "meteor-build-client" created by Fabian Vogelsteller and packs nicely the client part of a meteor app.

To release to IPFS

embark ipfs

Which will build your meteor app and make it available in IPFS.

Use Embark with any build pipeline, or structure you wish

Embark now comes with a file called embark.yml, this file looks as follows:

type: "manual" # options can be "grunt", "meteor" and "manual"
contracts: ["app/contracts/**/*.sol"] #directory where your contracts live
output: "src/embark.js" #where to output the files with the bindings to the deployed contracts
blockchainConfig: "config/blockchain.yml" #config for the blockchains
contractsConfig: "config/contracts.yml" #config for the contracts

Grunt plugin decoupled

Grunt has been moved to its own plugin, see the Readme. You can use the plugin simply as by adding the something like this to your Gruntfile:

deploy: {
  contracts: ["app/contracts/**/*.sol"],
  dest: "embark_client.js"
}

Embark by default with come with an example boilerplate that uses this plugin.

Support for gulp, broccolijs, etc...

The door is now open for plugins that use embark in pretty much any pipelines and build systems.

Web3.js update

Web3.js lib has be updated to 0.9.3. Note that with the changes in this release you can now easily use any version of web3.js you need.

Production environment

The boilerplate and demos configs now come with a 'production' environment, in preparation for frontier!

workaround for last geth 0.9.39 / 0.9.40

If you have installed the latest geth / frontier. you might see a liability disclaimer which causes issues with embark. This might be fixed in 0.7.1, as a workaround however you can run:

mkdir -p /tmp/embark/keystore

Update guide

See "embark demo" for differences. It's best to just start "embark new".

in package.json for the depedencies

  • update to embark 0.7.0

followed by npm install. You'll also need to add embark.yml to your apps folder, with the line type: "grunt"

Thanks

Special thanks to Marek Kotewicz and Fabian Vogelsteller
