Write the Smart Contract
We’ll start our Dapp by writing the smart contract that acts as the back-end logic and storage.
- 1.Create a new file named
Adoption.solin thecontracts/directory. - 2.Copy the following code:
pragma solidity ^0.5.0;contract Adoption {
address[16] public adopters; // Adopting a pet
function adopt(uint petId) public returns (uint) {
// check that petId is in range of our adopters array
require(petId >= 0 && petId <= 15); // add the address who called this function to our adopter array
adopters[petId] = msg.sender; // return the petId provided as a confirmation
return petId;
} // Retrieving the adopters
function getAdopters() public view returns (address[16] memory) {
return adopters;
}
}
Note: Code from Truffle’s Pet-Shop tutorial — if you want to look deeper into the Solidity code, they slowly go through the Truffle link explaining the details.
Solidity is a compiled language, meaning we need to compile our Solidity to bytecode for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to execute. Think of it as translating our human-readable Solidity into something the EVM understands.
TomoChain is EVM-compatible, which means that every contract written in Ethereum can be seamlessly ported to TomoChain without effort
In a terminal, make sure you are in the root of the directory that contains the Dapp and type:
truffle compile
You should see output similar to the following:
Compiling ./contracts/Migrations.sol...
Compiling ./contracts/Adoption.sol...
Writing artifacts to ./build/contracts
