Development

When working locally with stacks-wallet-web, it can only be used as you'd use any extension. There is no ability to run it as a standalone web application.

Setup

Clone this repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/hirosystems/stacks-wallet-web
cd stacks-wallet-web
yarn

Dev mode

When working on the extension, you can run it in development mode which will watch for any file changes and use react-refresh to update the extension as you work. This gives us near instant reloading of our changes, and persists the state of the application between changes. To start development mode for the extension, run this command:

yarn dev

Optional: run test app

We bundle a test app to use along with the extension. It gives easy access to the various functions that the extension can do.

In a separate terminal, run:

yarn dev:test-app

Add extension to your browser

After starting development mode, you'll have to add it to your browser of choice. Hiro Wallet for web currently only supports chromium and firefox browsers. When you run yarn dev, it will compile the application to the /dist folder within the project.

Chromium

1. Go to: chrome://extensions
2. Toggle: "developer mode" on
3. Click on: "Load unpacked"
4. Navigate to the stacks-wallet-web project directory
5. Select the dist directory to load the extension

Firefox

1. Go to: about:debugging
2. Click on "This Firefox"
3. Click on: "Load Temporary Add-on…"
4. Navigate to the stacks-wallet-web project directory
5. Select the manifest.json file from the stacks-wallet-web/dist directory.

Production

See instructions on Hiro.so for installing from source for production usage.

Alternatively, the following steps can be taken by technical users with the latest version of node installed on their machines.

Build from source

Run the following from within this repository's root directory if you've pulled it with Git:

yarn && yarn build && sh build-ext.sh

Alternatively, run the following if you've downloaded the source code as a zip file from GitHub:

  && docker run -d --name stacks-wallet-web stacks-wallet-web \
  && docker cp stacks-wallet-web:stacks-wallet-chromium.zip . \
  && docker rm -f stacks-wallet-web

The extension will be packaged as stacks-wallet-chromium.zip.
