v4 Web

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 18 and pnpm installed on your system

For deploying with Vercel, create an account with Vercel if you don't have one already.

For deploying to IPFS, choose one of the following:

• Option 1: A free web3.storage account
• Option 2: An IPFS client such as IPFS Kubo

For web3.storage, sign up for an account and generate an API token on the API tokens page. web3.storage offers an easy-to-use interface for storing and retrieving content on IPFS.

Alternatively, follow the IPFS Kubo installation guide to download the IPFS command-line tool.

Part 1: Setting up your local environment

Step 1: Clone the repo

Clone the repository and navigate to its directory:

git clone https://github.com/dydxprotocol/v4-web.git
cd v4-web

Step 2: Install pnpm and dependencies

Install pnpm and the project dependencies:

npm i -g pnpm
pnpm i

Part 2: Running the project locally

Run the following command in the project directory to start the development server:

pnpm dev

The development server will be running at http://localhost:5173 (or the port number displayed in the terminal). Visit this URL to interact with the web app and see your changes in real-time.

To view component stories:

pnpm ladle

This will automatically open your default browser at http://localhost:61000.

Part 3: Deploying with Vercel

Step 1: Connect your repository to Vercel

Select "Import Git Repository" from your dashboard, and provide the URL of this repository or your forked repository.

Step 2: Configure your project

For the "Build & Development Settings", we recommend the following:

• Framework Preset: Vite
• Build Command (override): pnpm run build

If you wish to incorporate analytics via Amplitude and Bugsnag, you can use our scripts: pnpm run build:inject-amplitude and pnpm run build:inject-bugsnag. You will need to provide your own API keys for these services. In the Environment Variables section, name the variables as AMPLITUDE_API_KEY and BUGSNAG_API_KEY and provide the respective keys as their values.

For more details, check out Vercel's official documentation.

Part 4: Deploying to IPFS

web3.storage: deploy to IPFS via web3.storage using the provided script

Export the API token as an environment variable (replace your_token with the generated token), and run the script to build and deploy to IPFS:

export WEB3_STORAGE_TOKEN=your_token
pnpm run deploy:ipfs

Save the URL provided in the output, as it is the link to your deployed content on IPFS.

IPFS client: deploy with the command-line tool

To use the IPFS command-line tool, run:

ipfs add -r dist

Save the CID provided in the output.

Accessing your content on IPFS

To access your content on IPFS:

1. Native IPFS support in a browser: Use a browser with native IPFS support, such as Brave or Opera. Enable a local IPFS node and visit the URL directly using the IPNS protocol, like ipfs://your_cid.

2. Public IPFS gateway: Access your content via a public IPFS gateway, such as https://dweb.link or https://w3s.link/. Use the gateway URL with your CID appended, like https://dweb.link/ipfs/your_cid.

Replace your_cid with the actual CID.
