Gear Examples

Gear provides a set of examples that can be used for your familiarization with writing programs on Gear or become the basis for your own dApp: https://github.com/gear-dapps.

You can write your own smart contract or try to build from examples. Let's Rock!

Requirements

To develop your first Rust smart-contract you would have to:

• Install Rustup:

  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

• Add wasm target to your toolchain:

  rustup toolchain add nightly
  rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly

First steps

To create our app project use the command cargo:

cargo new gear-app --lib

The project structure is following:

  └── gear-app // Your contract dir
      │
      ├── src // Source files of your program
      │    ├── maybe_some_file.rs // Additional module if needed
      │    └── lib.rs // Main file of your program
      │
      └── Cargo.toml // Manifest of your program

Create file build.rs with the following code:

fn main() {
    gear_wasm_builder::build();
}

Cargo.toml is a project manifest in Rust, it contains all metadata necessary for compiling the project. Configure the Cargo.toml similarly to how it is configured ping/Cargo.toml. You can refer to Getting Started for additional details.

Building Rust Contract

We should compile our smart contract in the app folder:

cargo build --release

Our application should compile successfully and the final file target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/gear-app.wasm should appear.
