Create your own Bitcoin Cash web wallet app with this Gatsby Starter. This Starter leverages the [gatsby-ipfs-web-wallet Gatsby Theme](https://github.com/Permissionless-Software-Foundation/gatsby-ipfs-web-wallet) by [FullStack.cash](https://fullstack.cash). Additional plugins can be developed with the [bch-wallet-plugin-boilerplate](https://github.com/Permissionless-Software-Foundation/bch-wallet-plugin-boilerplate).
## 🚀 Quick start
1.**Create a Gatsby site.**
Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying this starter.
```shell
# create a new Gatsby site using this starter
gatsby new my-bch-wallet-app https://github.com/Permissionless-Software-Foundation/bch-wallet-starter
```
1. **Start developing.**
Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.
```shell
cd my-bch-wallet-app/
gatsby develop
```
1. **Open the source code and start editing!**
Your site is now running at `http://localhost:8000`!
_Note: You'll also see a second link: _`http://localhost:8000/___graphql`_. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the [Gatsby tutorial](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-five/#introducing-graphiql)._
Open the `my-bch-wallet-app` directory in your code editor of choice and edit `src/pages/index.js`. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!
## 🧐 What's inside?
A quick look at the top-level files and directories you'll see in a Gatsby project.
.
├── node_modules
├── src
└── gatsby-ipfs-web-wallet
└── components
└── menu-components.js
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── gatsby-browser.js

└── README.md
1. **`/node_modules`**: This directory contains all of the modules of code that your project depends on (npm packages) are automatically installed.
2. **`/src`**: This directory will contain all of the code related to what you will see on the front-end of your site (what you see in the browser) such as your site header or a page template. `src` is a convention for “source code”.
3. **`.gitignore`**: This file tells git which files it should not track / not maintain a version history for.
4. **`.prettierrc`**: This is a configuration file for [Prettier](https://prettier.io/). Prettier is a tool to help keep the formatting of your code consistent.
5. **`gatsby-browser.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the [Gatsby browser APIs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/browser-apis/) (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting the browser.
6. **`gatsby-config.js`**: This is the main configuration file for a Gatsby site. This is where you can specify information about your site (metadata) like the site title and description, which Gatsby plugins you’d like to include, etc. (Check out the [config docs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-config/) for more detail).
7. **`gatsby-node.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the [Gatsby Node APIs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/node-apis/) (if any). These allow customization/extension of default Gatsby settings affecting pieces of the site build process.
8. **`gatsby-ssr.js`**: This file is where Gatsby expects to find any usage of the [Gatsby server-side rendering APIs](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/ssr-apis/) (if any). These allow customization of default Gatsby settings affecting server-side rendering.
9. **`LICENSE`**: Gatsby is licensed under the MIT license.
10. **`package-lock.json`** (See `package.json` below, first). This is an automatically generated file based on the exact versions of your npm dependencies that were installed for your project. **(You won’t change this file directly).**
11. **`package.json`**: A manifest file for Node.js projects, which includes things like metadata (the project’s name, author, etc). This manifest is how npm knows which packages to install for your project.
12. **`README.md`**: A text file containing useful reference information about your project.
12. **`menu-components.js`**: Allows you to add new menu items and Views to the app.
