About

Web Bundlr is a CLI tool to deploy web apps to Arweave using Bundlr. Arweave is a protocol that allows you to store data permanently, sustainably, with a single upfront fee and Bundlr Network is a reliable multichain solution for Arweave which is building the future of data storage by bringing the speed and ease of web2 to web3 technology. Learn more about Bundlr and Arweave.

Note: Deploy using Devnet bundlr first to check everything is working and then deploy using production bundlr.

Installing

Install the package using npm or yarn as desired to get started.

npm install -g web-bundlr

OR

yarn add global web-bundlr

Usage

Lets go through steps on how to use web-bundlr in your projects to deploy apps.

Note: Use hash router in react, vue, and nuxt based apps. For next apps there is no hash based routing so manifest is adjusted for routes to work on reload but dynamic routes may not work on reload.

ReactJS & NextJS

---

ReactJS

Note: Use HashRouter from react-router-dom in react apps. Check project examples

NextJS Static Export

Learn about it here for the supported and unsupported features in static html export.

If you are having problems regarding images in nextjs html export, see here.

VueJS & NuxtJS

---

VueJS

Modify vue.config.js or vue.config.ts to include the following config:

publicPath: "./" // default is /

NuxtJS

Modify nuxt.config.js or nuxt.config.ts to include the following config:

target: 'static', // default is 'server'
router: {
  mode: 'hash',
  base:  './'
}

Read more about going full static mode in nuxtjs Going Full Static

ViteJS

---

Note: Use hash router for react, vue and svelte accordingly.

Examples of react, vue and svelte using vite is included in the examples folder.

Configuration

And now you have to add config file for web-bundlr to upload the production build to arweave.

Run this command to add configuration file for web-bundlr.

web-bundlr init

Now modify the configuration file (web-bundlr.config.js) as per your need from the following:

Name	Type	Description
url	string	URL to the bundler Eg: Production => - https://node1.bundlr.network - https://node2.bundlr.network Eg: Testnet => https://devnet.bundlr.network
currency	string	Supported Currencies: arweave, ethereum, matic, bnb, fantom, solana, avalanche, boba, boba-eth, arbitrum, chainlink, kyve, near and algorand
wallet	any	private key (in whatever form required)
folderPath?	string	folderPath of the build folder to be deployed. Auto discovered for app using vue, nuxt, react, next and vite if not provided. It may be needed for simple JS/TS app.
appType?	string	Possible values: 'react', 'next', 'vue', 'nuxt', 'vite' and ''
config?	Object
config.contractAddress?	string	contract address if its not a native currency
config.providerUrl?	string	Provide a RPC url or default public rpc url is used
config.timeout?	number	Default is used if not provided

Example of web-bundlr.config.js for different currency can be:

For Polygon (MATIC) on testnet.

/** @type {import('web-bundlr').WebBundlrConfig} */

const WebBundlrConfig = {
  url: "https://devnet.bundlr.network",
  currency: "matic"
  wallet: "<private-key>",
  folderPath: "build",
  appType: "react",
  config: {
    providerUrl: "https://rpc.ankr.com/polygon_mumbai",
  },
};

export default WebBundlrConfig;

For Solana:

/** @type {import('web-bundlr').WebBundlrConfig} */

const WebBundlrConfig = {
  url: "https://devnet.bundlr.network",
  currency: "solana"
  wallet: "<private-key>",
  folderPath: "out",
  appType: "next",
  config: {
    providerUrl: "https://api.devnet.solana.com",
  },
};

export default WebBundlrConfig;

For ERC20 Tokens:

For example chainlink on Goerli testnet

/** @type {import('web-bundlr').WebBundlrConfig} */

const WebBundlrConfig = {
  url: "https://devnet.bundlr.network",
  currency: "chainlink"
  wallet: "<private-key>",
  folderPath: "dist",
  appType: "vue",
  config: {
    providerUrl: "https://rpc.ankr.com/eth_goerli",
    contractAddress: "0x326C977E6efc84E512bB9C30f76E30c160eD06FB"
  },
};

export default WebBundlrConfig;

After the configuration, run web-bundlr command from the root folder of the project.

web-bundlr deploy

You have to fund the bundlr with the currency you have configured. The CLI will show how much bytes is going to be uploaded and how much amount in configured currency is required to perform the upload and it will ask for funding if the loaded balance is not sufficient.

After apps are deployed, configure ArNS from Permapages for the deployed app.
