Deploying and interacting with contracts using Truffle

There are various development frameworks now available for Ethereum. As seen in the examples discussed earlier, it can be quite time-consuming to deploy the contracts via manual means. This is where Truffle and similar frameworks such as Embark can be used to make the process simpler and quicker. We have chosen Truffle because it has a more active developer community and is currently the most widely used framework for Ethereum development. However, note that there is no best framework as all frameworks aim to provide methods to make development, testing, and deployment easier.

We discussed Truffle briefly in Chapter 11, Tools, Languages, and Frameworks for Ethereum Developers. In this section, we will see an example project that will demonstrate how Truffle can be used to develop a decentralized application. We will see...
