This is a boilerplate algob project with ASA deployment and funding a smart contract (in TEAL & PyTEAL)

To run the sample-project:

• First you need to set the configuration in algob.config.js file:

  • Specify accounts you want to use, there are multiple ways to do it. You can see here

  • If you are using Testnet, use https://bank.testnet.algorand.network/ to fund address.

  • If you are using Private Network, use goal clerk send (https://developer.algorand.org/docs/reference/cli/goal/clerk/send/) to fund address.

  • After this specify your network configurations.

• Install Algo Builder

  • yarn add @algo-builder/algob or
  • yarn link @algo-builder/algob (with local installation, this is recommended if you want to use algob with latest, not released version). Read more about it here.

• Deploy ASA and Smart Contracts:

  • algob deploy

• Scripts ran with deploy command will store checkpoints in artifacts directory. If a script already has a checkpoint it won’t be run again unless --force | -f flag is provided to deploy command.

  • algob deploy -f

• To interact with your deployments you can create a script and run it using:

• algob run scripts/path_to/file1
• Don’t use algob run for deployments. This should be used only for auxiliary scripts, like ad-hock transactions (example: draining an account).

• Run tests:

  • algob test (runs mocha in project root)

In the sample-project folder you'll have following items:

• assets/: Directory for assets and contracts files:

  • accounts_user.yaml : It has sample accounts
  • asa.yaml : It has sample specifications for Algorand Standard Assets (ASA)
  • fee-check.teal : It's a smart contract file. It checks the provided fee is at least 10,000 microalgos
  • escrow.py: Smart contract (in PyTEAL), only approves transfer to a specific address (hardcoded in the contract).
  • You can change or add ASA, Smart Contracts in this folder.

• scripts/: Directory for scripts to deploy and run your assets and contracts:

  • 0-sampleScript.js : This script shows how to deploy ASA.
  • 1-sampleScript.js : This script shows how to deploy ASC.
  • 2-escrow-account.js: This script funds an escrow contract with a hardcoded template parameter (passed in script)

• test/: Directory for test files for testing your assets and smart contracts:

  • sample-test.js : This is a basic example of how tests should be and how they work.
  • You can add tests for your scripts here.

• algob.config.js: Algob configuration file

Before writing smart contracts in PyTEAL:

• Please follow standard instuctions about PyTEAL Setup
• For passing template parameters dynamically in PyTEAL contract you will need to add algobpy in your project directory.
  • Read more about usage of algobpy and passing template parameters in /scripts here
• PyTEAL supports Tmpl fuction which can replace value with a constant and algob supports these replacements. To read more about TMPL Placeholder Support click here
