Our API is built with Rocket, a web framework for Rust. So, you'll need to get Rust and Cargo on your machine to get started. 🛠️

The easiest way to install Rust and Cargo is by using rustup. It's the recommended tool for managing Rust versions and associated tools for your project.

Then:

cd api
cd hardhat_env
yarn
cd ..
VITE_URL=http://localhost:3000 SERVICE_VERSION="v0.1.1" cargo run

The plugin it self is a React project, you'll need to install pnpm.

cd plugin;
pnpm install;

Firstly, you need to define ENV variables for the server:

• VITE_URL=http://localhost:3000 - the address of the UI
• SERVICE_VERSION="v0.0.1" - the version of the back-end (should be less than version of UI)

And ENV variables for the plugin:

• API_SERVICE_URL="http://0.0.0.0:8000" - the address of the API
• WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID=<your_walletconnect_project_id> - the project id for WalletConnect
• ZKSYNC_DEVNET_URL="https://zksync-devnet.nethermind.dev" - the address of the StarkNet devnet

You need to be running both the server and the plugin in order to have a working environment.

For your dev environment:

cd plugin;
pnpm run start;

For an optimized build (will not listen to changes):

pnpm run deploy;
pnpm run serve;

cd api
cd hardhat_env
yarn
cd ..
VITE_URL=http://localhost:3000 SERVICE_VERSION="v0.1.1" cargo run

or alternatively, you can run the server in watch mode (with cargo watch):

cargo install cargo-watch;
cargo watch -x run;

In Remix, go to the Plugin Manager at the bottom of the left panel, and click on Connect to a Local Plugin.

Then, chose a name for the plugin, and in the URL field, enter http://localhost:3000, the Type of Connection should iframe and the Location in remix Side Panel and click on Ok.

You should be all set to see the magic happen! Activate the plugin and it should now be visible and ready to be hacked with! 🚀
