MyEtherWallet V4+ (ALPHA - VISIT V3 for the production site)

Run:

npm run dev # run app in dev mode

Build:

npm run build # build app

It generates app in dist folder.

Test:

npm run test # run tests with Jest

Dev (HTTPS):

1. Create your own SSL Certificate (Heroku has a nice guide here)
2. Move the .key and .crt files into webpack_config/server.*
3. Run the following command:

npm run dev:https

Derivation Check:

The derivation checker utility assumes that you have:

1. Docker installed/available
2. dternyak/eth-priv-to-addr pulled from DockerHub

Docker setup instructions:

1. Install docker (on macOS, Docker for Mac is suggested)
2. docker pull dternyak/eth-priv-to-addr

Run Derivation Checker

npm run derivation-checker

Style Guides and Philosophies

The following are guides for developers to follow for writing compliant code.

Redux and Actions

Each reducer has one file in reducers/[namespace].ts that contains the reducer and initial state, one file in actions/[namespace].ts that contains the action creators and their return types, and optionally one file in sagas/[namespace].ts that handles action side effects using redux-saga.

The files should be laid out as follows:

Reducer

• State should be explicitly defined and exported
• Initial state should match state typing, define every key

import { NamespaceAction } from "actions/[namespace]";
import { TypeKeys } from 'actions/[namespace]/constants';

export interface State { /* definition for state object */ };
export const INITIAL_STATE: State = { /* Initial state shape */ };

export function [namespace](
	state: State = INITIAL_STATE,
	action: NamespaceAction
): State {
	switch (action.type) {
		case TypeKeys.NAMESPACE_NAME_OF_ACTION:
			return {
				...state,
				// Alterations to state
			};		  
		default:
			return state;
	}
}

Actions

• Define each action creator in actionCreator.ts
• Define each action object type in actionTypes.ts
  • Export a union of all of the action types for use by the reducer
• Define each action type as a string enum in constants.ts
• Export actionCreators and actionTypes from module file index.ts

├── common
    ├── actions - application actions
        ├── [namespace] - action namespace
            ├── actionCreators.ts - action creators
            ├── actionTypes.ts - action interfaces / types
            ├── constants.ts - string enum
            ├── index.ts - exports all action creators and action object types

constants.ts

export enum TypeKeys {
  NAMESPACE_NAME_OF_ACTION = 'NAMESPACE_NAME_OF_ACTION'
}

actionTypes.ts

/*** Name of action ***/
export interface NameOfActionAction {
	type: TypeKeys.NAMESPACE_NAME_OF_ACTION,
	/* Rest of the action object shape */
};

/*** Action Union ***/
export type NamespaceAction =
	| ActionOneAction
	| ActionTwoAction
	| ActionThreeAction;

actionCreators.ts

import * as interfaces from './actionTypes';
import { TypeKeys } from './constants';

export interface TNameOfAction = typeof nameOfAction;
export function nameOfAction(): interfaces.NameOfActionAction {
	return {
		type: TypeKeys.NAMESPACE_NAME_OF_ACTION,
		payload: {}
	};
};

index.ts

export * from './actionCreators';
export * from './actionTypes';

Higher Order Components

Typing Injected Props

Props made available through higher order components can be tricky to type. Normally, if a component requires a prop, you add it to the component's interface and it just works. However, working with injected props from higher order components, you will be forced to supply all required props whenever you compose the component.

interface MyComponentProps {
  name: string;
  countryCode?: string;
  routerLocation: { pathname: string };
}

...

class OtherComponent extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
  render() {
    return (
      <MyComponent
        name="foo"
        countryCode="CA"
        // Error: 'routerLocation' is missing!
        />
    );
  }

Instead of tacking the injected props on the MyComponentProps interface, put them in another interface called InjectedProps:

interface MyComponentProps {
  name: string;
  countryCode?: string;
}

interface InjectedProps  {
  routerLocation: { pathname: string };
}

Now add a getter to cast this.props as the original props - MyComponentProps and the injected props - InjectedProps:

class MyComponent extends React.Component<MyComponentProps, {}> {
  get injected() {
    return this.props as MyComponentProps & InjectedProps;
  }

  render() {
    const { name, countryCode, routerLocation } = this.props;
    ...
  }
}

Event Handlers

Event handlers such as onChange and onClick, should be properly typed. For example, if you have an event listener on an input element inside a form:

public onValueChange = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    if (this.props.onChange) {
      this.props.onChange(
        e.currentTarget.value,
        this.props.unit
      );
    }
  };

Where you type the event as a React.FormEvent of type HTML<TYPE>Element.

Class names

Dynamic class names should use the classnames module to simplify how they are created instead of using string template literals with expressions inside.

Styling

Legacy styles are housed under common/assets/styles and written with LESS. However, going forward, each styled component should create a a .scss file of the same name in the same folder, and import it like so:

import React from "react";

import "./MyComponent.scss";

export default class MyComponent extends React.component<{}, {}> {
	render() {
		return (
			<div className="MyComponent">
				<div className="MyComponent-child">Hello!</div>
			</div>
		);
	}
}

These style modules adhere to SuitCSS naming convention:

.MyComponent {
	/* Styles */

	&-child {
		/* Styles */

		&.is-hidden {
			display: none;
		}
	}
}

All elements inside of a component should extend its parent class namespace, or create a new namespace (Potentially breaking that out into its own component.)

Variables and mixins can be imported from the files in common/styles:

@import "sass/colors";

code {
	color: $code-color;
}

Converting Styles

When working on a module that has styling in Less, try to do the following:

• Screenshot the component in question
• Create a new SCSS file in the same directory
• Remove styling from LESS file, convert it to the SCSS file (Mostly s/@/$)
• Convert class names to SuitCSS naming convention
• Convert any utility classes from etherewallet-utilities.less into mixins
• Convert as many element selectors to class name selectors as possible
• Convert as many <br/> tags or  s to margins
• Ensure that there has been little to no deviation from screenshot
