ClassicEtherWallet

ClassicEtherWallet is an open source, javascript, client-side tool for operating Ethereum Classic wallets.

• Official link: https://classicetherwallet.com
• Served from github link: https://ethereumproject.github.io/etherwallet/

Purpose

ClassicEtherWallet was created because many users were having immense trouble setting up the command-line ethereum client on their computers. Therefore, created this browser-based GUI wallet to…

• Import client wallet files and presale wallet files.
• Generate wallets completely client side and provide raw private keys, JSON files, and paper version of the account.
• Bulk generate wallets
• Generate & send transactions
• We hope that it’ll help most of us to accomplish day to day tasks without having a fully running client.

Version 2 expands on this vision to offer:

• Generate and send offline transactions, ensuring your private keys never leave your computer.
• Include custom gas / data in the standard send transaction tab.
• Rewritten in Angular in order to make it was easier to update and maintain.
• Crowdsale / Token Sale support on a case by case basis (Digix, Slock.it, etc.)
• New encryption method. Now matches geth / Mist keystore format (v3) to make moving between ClassicEtherWallet and Mist much easier.
• QR codes on the Offline Transaction page for easier transferring between computers.
• Ability to create a custom link that will pre-fill the send transaction tab with the to address, amount, data, and gas. All the user has to do is unlock their wallet and press send.

Developers

If you want to help contribute, here’s what you need to know to get it up and running and compiling.

• Both the Chrome Extension and the ClassicEtherWallet.com are compiling from the same codebase. This code is found in the app folder. Don’t touch the dist or chrome-extension folders.
• We use angular and bootstrap. We used to use jQuery and Bootstrap until it was converted in April 2016. If you wonder why some things are set up funky, that’s why.
• The mercury branch is currently the active development branch. We then push the dist folder live to gh-pages, which then gets served to ClassicEtherWallet.com.
• We use npm / gulp for compiling. There is a lot of stuff happening in the compliation.
• Old node setups can be found in in json_relay_node (node.js) & json_relay_php (php). These are great resources for developers looking to get started and launch a public node on a $40 linode instance.

Getting Started

• Start by running npm install.
• Run npm run dev. Gulp will then watch & compile everything and then watch for changes to the HTML, JS, or CSS.
• For distribution, run npm run dist.

Folder Structure

• fonts and images get moved into their respective folders. This isn’t watched via gulp so if you add an image or font, you need to run gulp again.
• includes are the pieces of the pages / the pages themselves. These are pretty self explanatory and where you will make most frontend changes.
• layouts are the pages themselves. These basically take all the pieces of the pages and compile into one massive page. The navigation is also found here…sort of.
  • index.html is for https://ethereumproject.github.io/etherwallet/
  • cx-wallet.html is the main page for the Chrome Extension.
  • embedded.html is for https://ethereumproject.github.io/etherwallet/embedded.html.
• You can control what shows up on ClassicEtherWallet.com vs the Chrome Extension by using: @@if (site === 'cx' ) { ... } and @@if (site === 'mew' ) { ... }. Check out sendTransaction.tpl to see it in action. The former will only compile to the Chrome Extension. The latter only to ClassicEtherWallet.com.
• embedded.html is for embedding the wallet generation into third-party sites.
• The wallet decrypt directives are at scripts/directives/walletDecryptDrtv.js. These show up on a lot of pages.
• The navigation is in scripts/services/globalServices.js. Again, we control which navigation items show up in which version of the site in this single file.
• As of September 2016, almost all the copy in the .tpl files are only there as placeholders. It all gets replaced via angular-translate. If you want to change some copy you need to do so in scripts/translations/en.js folder. You should also make a note about what you changed and move it to the top of the file so that we can make sure it gets translated if necessary.
• styles is all the less. It’s a couple custom folders and bootstrap. This badly needs to be redone. Ugh.
