上一篇我们介绍了使用web3.js与以太坊智能合约交互，其中介绍了合约的编译、部署、执行等操作，但是很明显，如果要开发dapp，仅仅使用web3.js是不够的，开发繁琐，项目不够规范等。
今天我们就来介绍一种更快捷的方式：truffle，使用truffle能帮我们快速的搭建dapp项目，并规范项目结构，甚至truffle还提供了一些入门的dapp，帮助开发者快速上手。
本文主要介绍truffle提供的一个转账应用，如果需要学习更多的dapp，请移步 https://truffleframework.com/...
准备工作：
安装node，npm，这里就不介绍了，私有链仍然使用的是Ganache
> npm install -g truffle1、新建项目
> mkdir demo && cd demo
> npm init
> truffle unbox webpack
# 如果需要搭建宠物商店，执行这条命令
> truffle unbox pet-shop执行完之后，完整的项目结构如下：

需要先启动Ganache，不然部署时连不上
> truffle migrate
# 编译成功后会显示如下内容

Saving artifacts...如果报这个错No network specified. Cannot determine current network.，找到truffle.js，把networks中的名称修改为development即可，因为默认连的就是development
module.exports = {
networks: {
development: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 7545,
network_id: '*' // Match any network id
}
}
}如果报这个错误Attempting to run transaction which calls a contract function，删除build目录，重新执行truffle migrate命令
这个错误是因为编译后又修改了truffle.js中的development，地址不对导致的
3、启动项目
> npm run dev启动成功后，打开chrome浏览器http://localhost:8080/，会弹出一个错误，或者在You have META这个位置没显示余额，因为在app/avascripts/app.js文件中连的端口是9545，修改成7545，刷新页面就可以看到You have 10000 META。
需要提醒的是：不需要装MetaMask，不需要装MetaMask，不需要装MetaMask！
如果你装了MetaMask，打开这个页面会显示You have 0 META，这是因为MetaMask提供了web3对象，所以根本不会连本机的http://localhost:8080/
具体代码可以查看app/avascripts/app.js，拉到文件最下方可以看到如下内容
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
// Checking if Web3 has been injected by the browser (Mist/MetaMask)
if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {
console.warn(
'Using web3 detected from external source.' +
' If you find that your accounts don\'t appear or you have 0 MetaCoin,' +
' ensure you\'ve configured that source properly.' +
' If using MetaMask, see the following link.' +
' Feel free to delete this warning. :)' +
' http://truffleframework.com/tutorials/truffle-and-metamask'
)
// Use Mist/MetaMask's provider
window.web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider)
} else {
console.warn(
'No web3 detected. Falling back to http://127.0.0.1:9545.' +
' You should remove this fallback when you deploy live, as it\'s inherently insecure.' +
' Consider switching to Metamask for development.' +
' More info here: http://truffleframework.com/tutorials/truffle-and-metamask'
)
// fallback - use your fallback strategy (local node / hosted node + in-dapp id mgmt / fail)
window.web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:9545'))
}
App.start()
})所以如果你装了Metamask，就需要修改下文件，把web3对象是否存在的判断注释掉，并修改端口为7545，只保留window.web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:7545'))，具体修改如下
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
// Checking if Web3 has been injected by the browser (Mist/MetaMask)
// if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {
// console.warn(
// 'Using web3 detected from external source.' +
// ' If you find that your accounts don\'t appear or you have 0 MetaCoin,' +
// ' ensure you\'ve configured that source properly.' +
// ' If using MetaMask, see the following link.' +
// ' Feel free to delete this warning. :)' +
// ' http://truffleframework.com/tutorials/truffle-and-metamask'
// )
// // Use Mist/MetaMask's provider
// window.web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider)
// } else {
// console.warn(
// 'No web3 detected. Falling back to http://127.0.0.1:9545.' +
// ' You should remove this fallback when you deploy live, as it\'s inherently insecure.' +
// ' Consider switching to Metamask for development.' +
// ' More info here: http://truffleframework.com/tutorials/truffle-and-metamask'
// )
// fallback - use your fallback strategy (local node / hosted node + in-dapp id mgmt / fail)
window.web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:7545'))
// }
App.start()
