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)**
|
|
* Easily Store & Retrieve Data on the DApp through EmbarkJS. Including uploading and retrieving files.
|
|
* Deploy the full application to IPFS or 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.

```Bash
|
|
$ npm -g install embark
|
|
|
|
# If you plan to use the simulator instead of a real ethereum node.
|
|
$ npm -g install ethereumjs-testrpc
|
|
```
