scaffold-eth VS nvm

If you want to learn to develop apps for the EVM (Thats Ethereum, Polygon, xDai, Aurora and many others) then you should read through the code in the various branches of https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth for really good full-stack examples

git clone [https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth.git](https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth.git) challenge-2-token-vendor cd challenge-2-token-vendor git checkout challenge-2-token-vendor yarn install

In this blog post, I’m going to cover the first scaffold-eth speed run project: creating a Staking dApp. If you want to know more about scaffold-eth and my current journey in the web3 world you should read my previous article: My journey in Web3 development: scaffold-eth.

https://github.com/austintgriffith/scaffold-eth is a great ethereum boilerplate project that uses yarn workspaces in a monorepo, its a pretty standard practice that I've seen in the NFT/blockchain dev space.

I'm a fullstack JS developper, i've working and looking heavily into building on ethereum, so this is my first dive into the space. I would love some feeback from more senior devs on this, on the React and Dapp part. It is heavily based on scaffold-eth (and some Uniswap-interface code reading) so I'd recommend starting there if you're starting out rather than my starter, the docs and content there are first class. The stack is just the stack i am used to working with: Tailwind UI, Typescript and Redux Toolkit, and more. I'll be adding more examples other than the Greeter soon. Also i am for hire if you're looking for junior Dapp devs :) Thank your for your time !

Node.js + Nvm - runtime for javascript without a browser

Install Node.js if it hasn't been installed. There are several ways to install Node.js. You may download the installer from the official website, or install it with tools like NVM. After installation, run this command to verify its installation.

Our server also needs Node.js to run our app. We could install the binary directly, but I prefer to use a tool called NVM, which allows us to easily manage Node versions. We can install it with this command:

By setting up your environment in isolation, you can prevent yourself from a lot of issues when experimenting with code. It makes your code behave more predictable due to the defined state of the runtime environment you are working with. This article should provide you with enough information to get started, but obviously, there is a lot more power embedded in NVM, Virtual Environment and RBEnv. So make sure to check their documentation.

I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

I usually develop on Windows so I installed NVM for Windows from here, but if you’re on other OS I’m sure you can find a version that supports it, probably this is the answer.

This was a very quick introduction to how I setup NodeJS on my environment using nvm. If you have any questions please refer to the official documentation or contact me via my Social Links.
