Note: The nOS pre-sale grants exclusive access to developers who build a working proof-of-concept nOS dApp, and engage in the nOS Discord #develop channel.

Want to build a decentralized application on nOS? Follow this guide.

Today we’re releasing our latest nOS dApp development tool: create-nos-dapp

create-nos-dapp is a “one-click” (or one-command) solution that allows developers to quickly get started with building a nOS-powered decentralized application, using Javascript frameworks of your choice. Currently the cli-tool lets you set up a bootstrap dApp using React, and will support Vue, Angular, and Vanilla Javascript in the near future.

Installation:

Prerequisites: Yarn or NPM

  1. Open your Terminal or Command Line tool.
  2. Enter the following command:
#If using Yarn
yarn global add @nosplatform/create-nos-dapp
#If using npm
npm install -g @nosplatform/create-nos-dapp

create-nos-dapp is now globally installed.

To bootstrap a new dApp, simply run the following command:

create-nos-dapp# This is also possible:
# create-nos-dapp -t react -n my-nos-dapp

Everything else is straight-forward. Choose your framework, name your dApp, and start coding! A server module for your dApp is included, so you can easily access it from within the nOS client.

Documentation for create-nos-dapp is available here.

If you have any questions: join the nOS Discord (#develop channel) to talk to the nOS team and the community!
