The first tutorial lacks information how to deploy locally

Open miohtama opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

In the Hello World tutorial, the contract is deployed on a shared testnet:

https://docs.elrond.com/developers/tutorials/counter/

All professional development happens on a local development node that can be spin up and tear down with a single line command. The development workflow advertised in the Hello World tutorial is not practical, though is good for tutorial purposes. Still, a local node development workflow similar to Ganache (Web3.js) or py-evm (Web3.py) should be described in the docs, as this is what professional developers want.

The documentation later describes how to set up a local testnet, but this is not what developers want. The developers want a single line node up and down, with some local explorer or logging output for transactions.
