Add support for `service webserver on/off` commands. Deprecate commands `webserver start/stop` in favor of `service webserver on/off`. Handles passing through of arguments to the function executed after process launch. `service webserver on` - Enables the webserver serving the DApp. Shows an error if the webserver is already starting or started. `service webserver off` - Disables the webserver serving the DApp. Shows an error if the webserver is already stopping or stopped. `webserver start` - This command has been deprecated in favor of `service webserver on` and will be removed in future versions. `webserver stop` - This command has been deprecated in favor of `service webserver off` and will be removed in future versions.
What is Embark
Embark is a framework that allows you to easily develop and deploy Decentralized Applications (DApps).
A Decentralized Application is a serverless html5 application that uses one or more decentralized technologies.
Embark currently integrates with EVM blockchains (Ethereum), Decentralized Storages (IPFS), and Decentralized communication platforms (Whisper and Orbit). Swarm is supported for deployment.
With Embark you can:
Blockchain (Ethereum)
- Automatically deploy contracts and make them available in your JS code. Embark watches for changes, and if you update a contract, Embark will automatically redeploy the contracts (if needed) and the dapp.
- Contracts are available in JS with Promises.
- Do Test Driven Development with Contracts using Javascript.
- Keep track of deployed contracts; deploy only when truly needed.
- Manage different chains (e.g testnet, private net, livenet)
- Easily manage complex systems of interdependent contracts.
Decentralized Storage (IPFS, Swarm)
- Easily Store & Retrieve Data on the DApp through EmbarkJS. Including uploading and retrieving files.
- Deploy the full application to IPFS or Swarm.
- Import and deploy contracts hosted on Swarm.
Decentralized Communication (Whisper, Orbit)
- Easily send/receive messages through channels in P2P through Whisper or Orbit.
Web Technologies
- Integrate with any web technology including React, Foundation, etc..
- Use any build pipeline or tool you wish, including grunt, gulp and webpack.
