Gummy DFX Guide

This project has integrated the Internet Computer's development framework. This guide will help you get started.

Prerequisites

Install DFX. Please keep in mind the dfx cli currently only runs on Linux and Apple based PCs.

From the project root:

Follow this guide
- The canister_id.json file you need to modify is in the project root. Please update the "motoko" and "www" "ic" properties.
- Please do not attempt to deploy until you have executed npm run init:dfx.
Execute npm run init:dfx.
Execute npm run deploy:dfx to deploy the project to your IC canisters.

Commands run from the project root

`npm run`	Description
`init:dfx`	Initial bootstrap of the IC.
`deploy:dfx`	Deploy to IC
`restart:dfx`	Restarts the local canister execution environment and web server processes. You can use this to Start the services as well.
`restart:clean:dfx`	Starts the local canister execution environment and web server processes in a clean state by removing checkpoints from your project cache. You can use this flag to set your project cache to a new state when troubleshooting or debugging.
`generate:dfx`	Generate canister type declarations for supported programming languages. This will generate the `src/declarations` folder and remove Typescript conflicts. These generated js files allow you to consume the motoko language service on the front end. i.e `const ic_service = require('src/declarations/motoko').motoko;`
`resolve:dfx`	Remove Typescript conflicts.

The npm build command is used by the IC build process. Using it may have conflicts.
The npm prebuild and prestart are used by the IC service, respectively.
