Aragon About App 🦅🗣

A customizable interface to add interactive widgets with information and insights about your organization.

Usage

Launch a new DAO with about app installed along with Voting and Tokens apps

npm run start:ipfs:template

Development

Run frontend development server

npm start

That should be enough to customize style and frontend changes, as we make use of a stubbed api to simulate some of the aragon client api

Run development template with hot reload and http mode

npm run start:http:template

This launches a DAO but uses the parcel development server ran in the previous step as the app frontend, so hot reload is still working.

Note this automatically launches ipfs and devchain daemons, so no need to launch separately, but still possible to do that.

For script / store development it is convenient to use the watch script

npm run watch:script

Works similarly to npm start but just keeps recompiling the background worker script related files

Contract development

It is needed to republish the contract locally between changes, or relaunch the app or template to handle that automatically.

Publish

You can publish your app on aragonPM. See how in our publish guide.

Note
The Template will not be published.

Example publishing command for Autark deployments:

npm run publish:patch -- --environment rinkeby --apm.ipfs.rpc https://ipfs.autark.xyz:5001 --ipfs-check false

Using a different Ethereum account

You can use a different account to interact with you app. Check the documentation.

Propagate content

Note this is handled automatically by @aragon/cli so it should not be needed

You can propagate the content of your app on IPFS. Learn more in our troubleshooting guide or use the aragon ipfs propagate command:

npx aragon ipfs propagate <cid>

Where cid is your content id hash (this will be displayed after publishing).
