Contributing

ApePay is open source and we welcome all contributors! Check out the following to get started.

TODOs:

• Initial implementation
• Documentation
• Live testing on Sepolia
• Production deployment on Arbitrum
• Frontend management console, for managing subscriptions

Setup (Python)

First, install Ape

Second, make sure to install the plugins:

$ ape plugins install . --upgrade

Next, prior to installing the SDK package, you have to compile the project:

$ ape compile

The SDK package relies on a soft link in [`./sdk/py/apepay/manifest.json`](./sdk/py/apepay/manifest.json)

Lastly, install the SDK package via:

$ poetry install

Then you are ready to contribute!

Setup (JS)

In order to contribute to the JS SDK and React component library, or to build the demo app, you need to first follow the Python Setup instructions to compile the smart contract package.

Next, you need install the node packages for development:

$ npm install

In order to work on the React component library, you need to compile the JS SDK:

$ npm run build --workspace=sdk/js

In order to work on the Demo app, you need to compile the JS SDK (like above) as well as compile the React component library:

$ npm run build --workspace=ui/lib

Then you are ready to contribute!

To run the demo app in development mode, do the following:

$ npm run dev --workspace=ui/app

To build the demo app for production, do the following:

$ npm run build --workspace=ui/app

Testing

To run tests, just use Ape:

$ ape test

To see gas usage, add the --gas flag:

$ ape test --gas

Scripts

To deploy a StreamManager (for testing purposes), run:

$ ape run deploy manager [TOKEN_ADDRESS [...]]
# Or if `ape tokens` is installed with a valid tokenlist
$ ape run deploy manager [TOKEN_SYMBOL [...]]

To deploy the StreamFactory (for production use), run:

$ ape run deploy factory

To deploy a Token (for testing use only), run:

$ ape run deploy token

This test token has an unauthenticated mint, please do not use in production!

To run the demo ApePay cluster daemon, first run a node like anvil:

$ anvil --derivation-path "m/44'/60'/0'/" --block-time 1 --prune-history

NOTE: the --derivation-path flag makes ape's test accounts match anvil's

Then run the daemon:

$ silverback run scripts.daemon:app --network ::foundry --account TEST::0

After that, it's suggested to start ape console and create a stream to watch the daemon react

Publishing

Given the monorepo structure, it's a bit more challenging to distribute all the packages in this repo.

Contracts

TBD

Python SDK

To publish the Python package, there are 5 steps.

# 1. Install everything
$ poetry install`
# 2. Compile the package manifest
$ ape compile
# 3. Copy the package manifest to the Python SDK folder
$ cp .build/__local__.json sdk/py/apepay/manifest.json
# 4. Build the Python SDK with Poetry
$ poetry build
# 5. Publish the package
$ poetry publish

NOTE: make sure to revision the package before publishing, or it will fail.

Javscript SDK and React component library

To publish the JS SDK, do the following:

# 1. Install everything
$ npm install --all-workspaces
# 2. Build SDK
$ npm run build --workspace=sdk/js
# 3. Publish SDK
$ npm publish --workspace=sdk/js

NOTE: make sure to revision the package before publishing, or it will fail.

TO publish the React Component library, do the same thing as the SDK exepct use the ui/lib workspace.

Demo App and Management Console

TBD
