Part 2: Create an Ionic mobile application

A web3 mobile application is not different from a web2 one in terms of its basic functionality and user interface. Both types of applications can run on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices, and both can access the internet and provide various services to users. However, a web3 mobile application differs from a web2 one in terms of its underlying architecture and design principles. A web3 mobile application is built on decentralized technologies, such as blockchain, smart contracts, and peer-to-peer networks, that enable more transparency, security, and autonomy for users and developers.

Create the Mobile app

Ionic React is a good hybrid solution for creating mobile applications and compatible with the Typescript version of the BeaconSDK. The behavior is equivalent to a classical web development, so for a web developer the ramp up is easy.

Beacon: the protocol of communication between the dapp and the wallet.

Note: As of today, it is not recommended to develop a native dApp in Flutter, React Native or native tools as it requires additional UI works (ex: missing wallet popup mechanism to confirm transactions).

  1. Install Ionic:

    npm install -g @ionic/cli
    ionic start app blank --type react
  2. Generate smart contract types from the Taqueria plugin:

    This command generates Typescript classes from the smart contract interface definition that is used on the frontend.

    taq install @taqueria/plugin-contract-types
    taq generate types ./app/src
  3. Uninstall the conflicting old jest libraries/react-scripts and install the required Tezos web3 dependencies and Vite framework:

    cd app
    npm uninstall -S @testing-library/jest-dom @testing-library/react @testing-library/user-event @types/jest
    rm -rf src/components src/pages/Home.tsx src/pages/Home.css
    rm src/setupTests.ts src/App.test.tsx
    echo '/// <reference types="vite/client" />' > src/vite-env.d.ts

    npm install -S @taquito/taquito @taquito/beacon-wallet @airgap/beacon-sdk @tzkt/sdk-api
    npm install -S -D @airgap/beacon-types vite @vitejs/plugin-react-swc @types/react @types/node @types/react@18.2.42
  4. Polyfill issues fix:

    ⚠️ Polyfill issues fix: Add the following dependencies in order to avoid polyfill issues. The reason is that some dependencies are Node APIs and are not included in browsers.

    1. Install the missing libraries:

      npm i -D process buffer crypto-browserify stream-browserify assert stream-http https-browserify os-browserify url path-browserify
    2. Create a new file nodeSpecific.ts in the src folder of your project:

      touch src/nodeSpecific.ts
    3. Edit it to look like this:

      import { Buffer } from 'buffer';
      globalThis.Buffer = Buffer;
    4. Edit the vite.config.ts file:

      import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react-swc';
      import path from 'path';
      import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
      // https://vitejs.dev/config/
      export default ({ command }) => {
      const isBuild = command === 'build';

      return defineConfig({
      define: { 'process.env': process.env, global: {} },
      plugins: [react()],
      build: {
      commonjsOptions: {
      transformMixedEsModules: true,
      },
      },
      resolve: {
      alias: {
      // dedupe @airgap/beacon-sdk
      // I almost have no idea why it needs `cjs` on dev and `esm` on build, but this is how it works 🤷‍♂️
      '@airgap/beacon-sdk': path.resolve(
      path.resolve(),
      `./node_modules/@airgap/beacon-sdk/dist/${
      isBuild ? 'esm' : 'cjs'
      }/index.js`
      ),
      stream: 'stream-browserify',
      os: 'os-browserify/browser',
      util: 'util',
      process: 'process/browser',
      buffer: 'buffer',
      crypto: 'crypto-browserify',
      assert: 'assert',
      http: 'stream-http',
      https: 'https-browserify',
      url: 'url',
      path: 'path-browserify',
      },
      },
      });
      };
  5. Adapt Ionic for Vite:

    1. Edit index.html to fix the Node buffer issue with nodeSpecific.ts file and point to the CSS file:

      <!DOCTYPE html>
      <html lang="en">
      <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8" />
      <title>Ionic App</title>

      <base href="/" />

      <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
      <meta
      name="viewport"
      content="viewport-fit=cover, width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"
      />
      <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
      <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />

      <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
      <link href="assets/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />

      <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png" />

      <!-- add to homescreen for ios -->
      <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
      <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="Ionic App" />
      <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />
      </head>
      <body>
      <div id="root"></div>
      <script type="module" src="/src/nodeSpecific.ts"></script>
      <script type="module" src="/src/main.tsx"></script>
      </body>
      </html>
    2. Edit src/main.tsx to force dark mode and remove React strict mode:

      import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
      import App from './App';

      const container = document.getElementById('root');
      const root = createRoot(container!);

      // Add or remove the "dark" class based on if the media query matches
      document.body.classList.add('dark');

      root.render(<App />);
    3. Modify the default package.json default scripts to use Vite instead of the default React scripts:

        "scripts": {
      "dev": "jq -r '\"VITE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=\" + last(.tasks[]).output[0].address' ../.taq/testing-state.json > .env && vite --host",
      "ionic:build": "tsc -v && tsc && vite build",
      "build": " tsc -v && tsc && vite build",
      "lint": "eslint src --ext ts,tsx --report-unused-disable-directives --max-warnings 0",
      "preview": "vite preview",
      "ionic:serve": "vite dev --host",
      "sync": "npm run build && ionic cap sync --no-build"
      },
  6. Edit the default application file src/App.tsx to configure page routing and add the style:

    import {
    IonApp,
    IonRouterOutlet,
    RefresherEventDetail,
    setupIonicReact,
    } from '@ionic/react';
    import { IonReactRouter } from '@ionic/react-router';
    import { Redirect, Route } from 'react-router-dom';

    Explanations:

    • import "@ionic...": Default standard Ionic imports.
    • import ... from "@airgap/beacon-types" ... from "@taquito/beacon-wallet" ... from "@taquito/taquito": Require libraries to interact with the Tezos node and the wallet.
    • export class Action implements ActionCisor, ActionPaper, ActionStone {...}: Representation of the LIGO variant Action in Typescript, which is needed when passing arguments on Play function.
    • export type Session = {...}: Taqueria exports the global storage type but not this sub-type from the storage type; it is needed for later, so extract a copy.
    • export const UserContext = React.createContext<UserContextType | null>(null): Global React context that is passed along pages. More info on React context here.
    • const refreshStorage = async (event?: CustomEvent<RefresherEventDetail>): Promise<void> => {...: A useful function to force the smart contract storage to refresh on React state changes (user balance, state of the game).
    • useEffect(() => { ... Tezos.setStreamProvider(...) ... Tezos.stream.subscribeEvent({...: During application initialization, it configures the wallet, the websocket listening to smart contract events.
    • <IonApp><UserContext.Provider ... ><IonReactRouter><IonRouterOutlet><Route path={PAGES.HOME} component={HomeScreen} /> ... : Injects the React context to all pages and declares the global routing of the application.
    • export enum PAGES { HOME = "/home", ...: Declaration of the global routes.
  7. Add the default theming (CSS, pictures, etc.) via copying the content of the git repository folder named assets folder to your local project (considering you cloned the repo and assets folder is on root folder).

    cp -r ../../assets/* .
  8. Create two React Button components to connect and disconnect the wallet and add code to fetch the user public hash key and balanceL

    1. Create the 2 missing component files in the app folder:

      touch src/ConnectWallet.tsx
      touch src/DisconnectWallet.tsx
    2. In the ConnectWallet.tsx file, create a button that creates an instance of the wallet, gets user permissions via a popup, and retrieves account information.

      import { NetworkType } from '@airgap/beacon-types';
      import { IonButton } from '@ionic/react';
      import { BeaconWallet } from '@taquito/beacon-wallet';
      import { TezosToolkit } from '@taquito/taquito';
      import { Dispatch, SetStateAction } from 'react';

      type ButtonProps = {
      Tezos: TezosToolkit;
      setUserAddress: Dispatch<SetStateAction<string>>;
      setUserBalance: Dispatch<SetStateAction<number>>;
      wallet: BeaconWallet;
      };

      const ConnectButton = ({
      Tezos,
      setUserAddress,
      setUserBalance,
      wallet,
      }: ButtonProps): JSX.Element => {
      const connectWallet = async (): Promise<void> => {
      try {
      console.log('before requestPermissions');

      await wallet.requestPermissions({
      network: {
      type: NetworkType.GHOSTNET,
      rpcUrl: 'https://ghostnet.tezos.marigold.dev',
      },
      });
      console.log('after requestPermissions');

      // gets user's address
      const userAddress = await wallet.getPKH();
      const balance = await Tezos.tz.getBalance(userAddress);
      setUserBalance(balance.toNumber());
      setUserAddress(userAddress);
      } catch (error) {
      console.log('error connectWallet', error);
      }
      };

      return (
      <IonButton expand="full" onClick={connectWallet}>
      Connect Wallet
      </IonButton>
      );
      };

      export default ConnectButton;
    3. In the DisconnectWallet.tsx file, create a button that cleans the wallet instance and all linked objects:

      import { IonFab, IonFabButton, IonIcon } from '@ionic/react';
      import { BeaconWallet } from '@taquito/beacon-wallet';
      import { power } from 'ionicons/icons';
      import { Dispatch, SetStateAction } from 'react';

      interface ButtonProps {
      wallet: BeaconWallet;
      setUserAddress: Dispatch<SetStateAction<string>>;
      setUserBalance: Dispatch<SetStateAction<number>>;
      }

      const DisconnectButton = ({
      wallet,
      setUserAddress,
      setUserBalance,
      }: ButtonProps): JSX.Element => {
      const disconnectWallet = async (): Promise<void> => {
      setUserAddress('');
      setUserBalance(0);
      console.log('disconnecting wallet');
      await wallet.clearActiveAccount();
      };

      return (
      <IonFab slot="fixed" vertical="top" horizontal="end">
      <IonFabButton>
      <IonIcon icon={power} onClick={disconnectWallet} />
      </IonFabButton>
      </IonFab>
      );
      };

      export default DisconnectButton;
    4. Save both files.

  9. Create the missing pages and the error utility class:

    touch src/pages/HomeScreen.tsx
    touch src/pages/SessionScreen.tsx
    touch src/pages/Rules.tsx
    touch src/pages/TopPlayersScreen.tsx
    touch src/TransactionInvalidBeaconError.ts

    The TransactionInvalidBeaconError.ts utility class is used to display human readable message from Beacon errors.

  10. Make these updates to the files:

    • HomeScreen.tsx: the home page where you can access all other pages.

      Explanation:

      • const createGameModal: The popup to create a new game.
      • const selectGameModal: The popup to select a game to join.
      • const [newPlayer, setNewPlayer] = useState<address>("" as address): Used on the New Game popup form to add an opponent.
      • const [total_rounds, setTotal_rounds] = useState<nat>(new BigNumber(1) as nat): Used on the New Game popup form to set number of round for one game.
      • const [myGames, setMyGames] = useState<Map<nat, Session>>(): Used on the Join Game popup window to display the games created or with invitation.
      • Array.from(storage.sessions.keys()).forEach((key) => { ... if (session.players.indexOf(userAddress as address) >= 0 && "inplay" in session.result ...: On storage change event, fetch and filter only games which the user can join and play (that is, with inplay status and where user appears on the player list).
      • const createSession = async (...) => { ... const op = await mainWalletType!.methods.createSession([userAddress as address, newPlayer], total_rounds).send(); ... : This function calls the smart contract entrypoint passing these arguments: current user address, opponent address, and total rounds. Then it redirects to the newly created game page.
      • {...<IonButton ... routerLink={PAGES.SESSION + "/" + key.toString()}: If you click on a game button from the list it redirects you to the game to play.
    • SessionScreen.tsx: This page lets you play on limited rounds and shows the result of the game.

      import { IonPage } from '@ionic/react';
      import React from 'react';

      export const SessionScreen: React.FC = () => {
      return <IonPage className="container"></IonPage>;
      };

      You will add more to this file later.

    • TopPlayersScreen.tsx: The player ranking page.

      import { IonPage } from '@ionic/react';
      import React from 'react';

      export const TopPlayersScreen: React.FC = () => {
      return <IonPage className="container"></IonPage>;

  11. Test the application:

    To test in web mode, run this command:

    npm run dev

    Make sure that your wallet is has some tez on Ghostnet and click on the Connect button.

    Note: If you don't have tokens, to get some free XTZ on Ghostnet, follow this link to the faucet.

    On the popup, select your wallet, then your account and connect.

    You are logged.

    Optional: Click the Disconnect button to test the logout.

Summary

You have a mobile application where you can connect and disconnect a wallet, some default UI components and styles but not yet an interaction with your smart contract. The next step is to be able to create a game, join a game and play a session.

When you are ready, continue to Part 3: Create the game pages.
