Learning Step-by-Step

We've made two learning paths to teach you how to build on Radix, one for if you want to make full stack apps (using Scrypto for on ledger components and JS for the front end) and another for if you want to build and connect a front end web app to existing scrypto components.

Scrypto

If you’re only planning to build on ledger (in Scrypto) then follow the full stack path. Sections covering front end interactions are marked as skippable.

Scrypto and Front End

This step-by-step guide will build you up from the very basics of Scrypto all the way through to a full application with a frontend. It is intended to be followed from start to end, but if you’re just looking to achieve specific tasks you can browse the steps by topic below.

The basics of Scrypto package structure and how to use it

Step	Title	Topic
0	Getting Rust & Scrypto	Installing the Scrypto toolchain
1	Run Your First Scrypto Project	Running Scrypto code in the Radix Engine Simulator
2	Explain Your First Scrypto Project	Scrypto package structure and template code explanation

An introduction to resource metadata and behaviours

Step	Title	Topic
3	Create Your First Custom Resource	Create resources with different metadata
4	Build a Gumball Machine	Build a simple Gumball Machine blueprint
5	Give the Gumball Machine an Owner	Ownership and protected methods
6	Make the Gumball Machine Refillable	The mintable resource behaviour

Interact with your package on the test network

Step	Title	Topic
7	Create and Use Transaction Manifests	Use transaction manifests in the Radix Engine Simulator
8	Use the Gumball Machine on Stokenet	Deploy a package on the Stokenet test network
9	Run Your First Front End dApp	Deploy and run a simple front end dapp on Stokenet
10	Run the Gumball Machine Front End dApp	Deploy and run the Gumball Machine as a front end dapp on Stokenet
11	Set Verification Metadata	Two way linking metadata for verification

Non-fungible resources, authorization and advanced resource behaviours

Step	Title	Topic
12	Create Your First Non-Fungible	Mint a non-fungible resource
13	Build a Candy Store	Custom authorization roles
14	Make Recallable Badges	The recallable and burnable resource behaviours

Interaction between blueprints

Step	Title	Topic
15	Build a Multi-Blueprint Package	Modularise packages into smaller blueprints
16	Create Owned Components	Compare owned and global components
17	Use External Blueprints	Use blueprints that aren’t a part of your package
18	Use External Components	Use components that aren’t a part of your package

Testing

Step	Title	Topic
19	Explain Your First Test	Understand and run the tests on the Hello template blueprint
20	Test a Multi-Blueprint Package	Unit and integration tests

DEX example

Step	Title	Topic
21	Run the Radiswap dApp	Deploy and run a simple two resource DEX

Front End

If you are only looking to build a front end for a preexisting scrypto package you will gain the most from the following sections:

Step	Title	Topic
9	Run Your First Front End dApp	Deploy and run a simple front end dapp on Stokenet
10	Run the Gumball Machine Front End dApp	Deploy and run the Gumball Machine as a front end dapp on Stokenet
11	Set Verification Metadata	Two way linking metadata for verification
21	Run the Radiswap dApp - Front End	Deploy and run a simple two resource DEX
