Remixd is a tool that intend to be used with Remix IDE (aka. Browser-Solidity). It allows a websocket connection between
Remix IDE
(web application) and the local computer.
Practically Remix IDE make available a folder shared by Remixd.
More details are explained in this tutorial.
Alternatively Remixd can be used to setup a developement environment that can be used with other popular frameworks like Embark, Truffle, Ganache, etc..
Remixd needs npm
and node
npm install -g remixd
age: remixd -s <shared folder>
ovide a two ways connection between the local computer and Remix IDE.
tions:
-s, --shared-folder <path> Folder to share with Remix IDE
-m, --mist start mist
-g, --geth start geth
-p, --dev-path <dev-path> Folder used by mist/geth to start the development instance
-f, --frontend <front-end> Folder that should be served by remixd
-p, --frontend-port <front-end-port> Http port used by the frontend (default 8082)
-a, --auto-mine mine pending transactions
-r, --rpc <cors-domains> start rpc server. Values are CORS domain
-rp, --rpc-port rpc server port (default 8545)
-h, --help output usage information
remixd -s <absolute-path>
The current user should have read/write
access to the folder (at least read
access).
It is important to notice that changes made to the current file in Remix IDE
are automatically saved to the local computer every 5000 ms. There is no Save
action. But the Ctrl-Z
(undo) can be used.
Furthermore :
Remix IDE
(that might change).Remix allows to start a dev environment. Geth
is used to spawn a dev blockchain and Mist
to provide an user interface to interact with dapps in developement and Remix IDE (It is also possible to use Metamask
and a normal browser)
Mist
and Geth
are not shipped with Remixd.
Download Mist
at https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases
Downloaf Geth
at https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/downloads
Usage:
remixd --dev-path /home/devchains/chain1 --mist --geth --frontend /home/frontend --frontend-port 8084 --auto-mine
geth
.mist
.dev-path
option) if it doesn't exist containing blockchain data and keys.frontend
and frontend-port
option).
This option may be used if you want to browse your dapp using Mist
or a normal browser and Metamask
(see third example) (https://metamask.io). In this example the web application located at /home/frontend
will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8084remixd -s /home/user/project1/contracts
remixd --dev-path /home/devchains/chain1 --rpc --rpc-port 8545 --geth --frontend /home/frontend --frontend-port 8084 --auto-mine
do the same as the first example but do not start Mist
.
It is still possible to browse a front end app using a normal browser and Metamask
. The connection between Metamask and geth
has to be dome via rpc connection and thus the rpc server has to be enabled (rpc
and rpc-port
options).
Note that in that case Remix IDE (remix.ethereum.org) does not need Metamask. It is possible to use the Web3 Provider
option of Remix to connect to the Geth
RPC endpoints.
