Aragon Apps

Apps

This monorepo contains the following apps:

• Agent: Hold assets and perform actions from Aragon organizations.
• Agreement: Govern organizations through a subjective rules.
• Finance: Send payments and manage expenses with budgeting.
• Tokens: Manages an organization's token supply and distribution.
• Vault: Securely owns and manages tokens on behalf of a DAO.
• Voting: Create votes that execute actions on behalf of token holders.
• Disputable Voting: Create disputable votes that execute actions on behalf of token holders.

Each of the individual apps come with a frontend that is intended to be installed and used through the Aragon client.

You can read more about how each of the individual apps work in the Aragon user guide.

Quick start

aragon-apps uses yarn workspaces and lerna to manage its individual app workspaces.

To bootstrap, run:

yarn

This will initialize and install each of the individual apps, hoisting their shared dependencies into the root node_modules/ directory.

💡 If you're only interested in bootstrapping one package, you can go to that specific package workspace and use yarn install --focus

Smart contracts

Running tests on all apps can be done by running yarn test at the root directory (note that this can take a significant amount of time!).

Running tests of an individual app can be done by running yarn test inside an individual app's directory, or through the selective yarn test:<app> scripts.

By default, tests are run on an in-memory instance of testrpc.

Frontends

Each app's frontend is encapsulated inside of that app's own app/ directory.

To work on frontend, you'll need to go into app/ directory and do another yarn installation. For more instructions, you can follow the "Frontend Setup" guide in the Aragon client. Note that the app itself doesn't need to be bootstrapped if you'd just like to install the frontend.

For example:

# Starting at this project's root
# Go to the Voting app's directory
cd apps/voting

# Go to the Voting app's frontend directory
cd app/

# Install and start
yarn
yarn start
