Getting Started

1. Create Your Repository

1. Click the "Use this template" button at the top of this repository.
2. Name your new repository and set it to public or private.
3. Clone your newly created repository to your local environment.

Resources

CBOR Files

To start the project, you need the CBOR files of the Plutus smart contracts you plan to implement. These files are essential for deploying and interacting with on-chain scripts.

• CBOR files can be generated using the appropriate Plutus tools or your preferred Haskell development environment.

Scaffold Project

You must install the Scaffold Project to define and generate your SmartDB entities.
The Scaffold Project provides tools for:

• Creating database schemas.
• Generating TypeScript types for both MongoDB and PostgreSQL.

To get started with the Scaffold Project, follow the instructions in its official repository.

Once installed, you can use the scaffold commands to generate entities for your SmartDB project.

Market Place Example

Explore a comprehensive step-by-step guide for building an end-to-end project with SmartDB in the file.

This example demonstrates how to:

• Implement entities using SmartDB.
• Develop basic CRUD functionalities.
• Create frontend components for marketplace operations.
• Deploy and test your application.
