Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want a source-code starting point for a locally developed NFT marketplace demo, rather than a documented production marketplace deployment.
Who it is for
- Developers learning or adapting a React and Solidity NFT marketplace demo.
- Educators seeking a project with a linked teaching guide.
Documented uses
- Build an NFT marketplace interface backed by Solidity contracts.
- Connect a MetaMask wallet to interact with the local demo.
- Run and test the documented marketplace workflow against Ganache.
- Explore adding chat functionality using the listed CometChat dependency.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and provides source-cloning instructions. No license is specified in the available project information.
- The documented deployment target is local Ganache; switching to a non-local Ethereum network requires modification.
- The setup depends on external Infura and CometChat project credentials as well as local development tools.
- The README links to a separate tutorial and teaching guide for further instruction.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up and run the local marketplace demo
Launch the documented React marketplace against contracts migrated to a local Ganache network.
Before you start
- Project source and Yarn
- MetaMask
- An Infura project and its project ID and API secret
- A CometChat project and key
- Truffle and Ganache
Steps
Clone the repository and install dependencies with Yarn.
Create the Infura and CometChat projects, then add the Infura values to the
.envfile using the documentedREACT_APP_INFURIA_PIDandREACT_APP_INFURIA_APIvariable names.Install Truffle globally and Ganache globally as shown in the README.
Run
ganache -d,truffle migrate --reset, andyarn start.Add Ganache accounts, connect a wallet, and interact with the app.
Expected outcome
A locally running marketplace demo connected to contracts deployed on Ganache.
Guide limitations
- The instructions cover a local Ganache workflow and do not describe production network deployment.
- The README lists CometChat setup but does not detail its configuration beyond creating a project and supplying a key.
