Peeping into the root files

Here are the important root files:

• package.json: This is a standard file that includes all the production and development dependencies of our project. Have a look through the dependencies if you are interested.

• truffle.js: This file contains configuration details about migrating your smart contracts to a specific Ethereum network. For now, you will simply connect to a local network. You will learn how to migrate your smart contract to various Ethereum networks in Chapter 4, Migrating Your Dapp to Ethereum Blockchains.

Here's a quick snippet:

// Allows us to use ES6 in our migrations and tests.
require('babel-register')

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: '127.0.0.1',
      port: 7545,
      network_id: '*' // Match any network id
    }
  }
}
