Frontend tools for Blockchain Developers
Beyond the limit of NodeJS
The blockchain is definitely an exciting technology. It's complex but very powerful. Don't think only to cryptocurrencies. Blockchain can be used for many other projects! Here I want to have some ideas about the tool we can use to build innovative and amazing applications with small efforts. No more talking then. Let's start!
Truffle framework
Truffle is a development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for Ethereum, aiming to make life as an Ethereum developer easier.
Truffle is easy to learn, it has a very good documentation and it offers additional tools like Ganache and Drizzle to help any developer to work. You cannot ask more. Highly recommended for frontend and blockchain developers.
Ganache
Ganache is your personal blockchain for Ethereum development.
Drizzle
Drizzle is a collection of front-end libraries that make writing dapp frontends easier and more predictable. The core of Drizzle is based on a Redux store, so you have access to the spectacular development tools around Redux.
React JS
