Contracts

This repo contains all the Kickback contracts. The master branch is the main branch, and contains the productions versions of the contracts.

Using the contracts

To use these contracts in a Dapp first install our NPM org:

npm i @wearekickback/contracts

Then, using truffle-contract you can import and use the Deployer contract definition and use it as such:

const promisify = require('es6-promisify')
const TruffleContract = require('truffle-contract')
const Web3 = require('web3')
const { Deployer } = require('@wearekickback/contracts')

async init = () => {
  const web3 = new Web3(/* Ropsten or Mainnet HTTP RPC endpoint */)

  const contract = TruffleContract(Deployer)
  contract.setProvider(web3.currentProvider)

  const deployer = await contract.deployed()

  // deploy a new party (see Deployer.sol for parameter documentation)
  await deployer.deploy('My event', 0, 0, 0)

  const events = await promisify(deployer.contract.getPastEvents, deployer.contract)('NewParty')

  const { returnValues: { deployedAddress } } = events.pop()

  console.log(`New party contract deployed at: ${deployedAddress}`)
}

Dev guide

Pre-requisites:

• Node 8.12+
• Yarn

Setup Truffle config

Copy .deployment-sample.js to .deployment.js and edit the values accordingly.

Install dependencies and do basic setup

yarn
yarn setup

Setup parameters for Truffle config:

cp .deployment-sample.js .deployment.js

Run local chain

npx ganache-cli --accounts 500

Run tests

yarn test

Deploy contracts to local network

Run:

yarn deploy:local

This will also call a script to update the app and server repo clones if you've checked them out as sibling folders.

Simulation

To deploy a new party onto the local test network:

yarn seed:party -i test

This command has a number of options which allow you additionally simulate the full lifecycle of a party:

$ yarn seed:party --help

Usage: deployNewParty [options]

Options:

  -i, --id <id>            Id of party (obtain from UI /create page)
  --ropsten                Use Ropsten instead of local development network
  --rinkeby                Use Rinkeby instead of local development network
  --kovan                  Use Rinkeby instead of local development network
  --mainnet                Use Mainnet instead of local development network
  --admins <n>             Number of additional party admins to have
  -c, --cancelled          Whether to mark the party as cancelled
  -t, --coolingPeriod [n]  How long the cooling period is in seconds (default: 604800)
  -d, --deposit [n]        Amount of ETH attendees must deposit (default: 0.02)
  -f, --finalize <n>       Finalize the party with the given no. of attendees
  -p, --participants <n>   Maximum number of participants
  -r, --register <n>       Number of participants to register
  -w, --withdraw <n>       Number of attendees to withdraw payouts for
  -h, --help               output usage information

So, for example, to create party with max. 100 participants, upto 50 actually registered, with 25 having actually attended, and 12 having withdrawn their payouts after the party has ended. With an added cooling period of 1 millisecond to allow your to test the clear functionality immediately.

yarn seed:party -i test -p 100  -r 50 -a 25 -w 12 -e -t 1

The script actually uses truffle-config.js to work out how to connect to the development network. If you want to seed a party on e.g. Ropsten then you can do by supplying the --ropsten flag:

yarn seed:party --ropsten -i test -p 100  -r 50 -a 25 -w 12 -e -t 1

Note: For public network seeding to work you will need to have configured valid values in .deployment.js (see "Deployment to public networks" below).

## Tests

yarn coverage

Deployment to public networks

Edit .deployment.js and fill in the company mnemonic and Infura key (obtain from 1Password).

Releases are done automatically via CI. Prior to doing a release, ensure the latest compiled contracts have been deployed to both test nets and the mainnet:

$ yarn deploy:ropsten
$ yarn deploy:rinkeby
$ yarn deploy:mainnet

Note: ensure .deployment.js is accurately setup for the above to work.

Then create a new release:

1. Increment the version in package.json as required, as part of a new or existing Pull Request.
2. Once the approved PR has been merged, run git tag <version> (where <version> is same as in package.json) on the merge commit.
3. Run git push --tags
4. The CI server will now do a build and deploy to NPM.
5. Once the NPM package has been published you will need to update the dependency to it in both the server and app repositories so that they both refer to the latest contract ABI when talking to the blockchain.
