EtherWallet is an open source, javascript, client-side tool for generating Ether wallets. It was created by kvhnuke and tayvano aka supergeniustay.

• http://kvhnuke.github.io/etherwallet/
• original reddit thread

It was created because many users were having immense trouble setting up the ethereum client on their computers. Therefore, we am planning to implement following features to the browser-based wallet.

• Bulk generate wallets
• import client wallet files and presale wallet files.
• generate transactions from the imported wallet files
• send transactions

We hope that it'll help most of us to accomplish day to day tasks without having a fully running client.

If you can think of any other features or run into bugs, let us know. You can fork, open a PR, open an issue, message kvhnuke on reddit, email tayvano or however else you can track us down.

Want to contribute? Great! Have questions? Ask us! Have issues? Open an issue!

EtherWallet uses gulp to compile, minify, and uncss the less and to concatonate and uglify the JS. It watches all the files and works its magic when needed. A full list of packages we are using can be found below. If you aren't familiar with gulp, maybe google it first. The basics on how to use gulp are below.

1. Make sure you have a fairly recent version of node.js & npm installed. You can check using:

$ npm -v
$ node -v

2. Globally install gulp. You may need to sudo if you are on mac / linux:

$ npm install gulp -g
$ sudo npm install gulp -g

3. Make sure gulp is installed:

$ gulp -v

4. cd into the project folder

$ cd path/to/project

5. install node_modules into the project directory

$ npm install

6. Running the default gulp task will run and watch all the required folders and update when necessary.

$ gulp

A list of packages we are using with gulp:

• gulp-less - compiles the less
• gulp-autoprefixer - autoprefixes
• gulp-minify-css - minifies the css once the less is compiled
• gulp-notify - notifies when things get compiled, minified, uglified, etc. Also notifies you (sometimes) on errors.
• gulp-rename - renames to .min.css etc.
• gulp-uncss - gets rid of the bloat by eliminating any unsued CSS styles. If you add an HTML page, you will need to add it to the gulpfile.js
• gulp-concat - concats the js
• gulp-uglify - uglifies the js

This project uses Twitter Bootstrap as a base. But, we're lazy so we just edit the bootstrap files when necessary. You can too. In the end, all unused CSS rules are removed using the gulp-uncss, which keeps Bootstrap from being bloated.

If you want to edit the styling, you will mostly want to access the following files:

• etherwallet-variables.less - all our bootstrap variables and custom variables go here. we do not use the variables.less in the bootstrap folder.
• etherwallet-custom.less - all custom rules or overrides go here.
• etherwallet-utilities.less - this is a group of utilties that I use on all my projects. Text color, background color, and vertical margins / padding live here. Feel free to add to it.
• etherwallet-master.less is the file that brings all our files together.

Don't forget, if you add an additional HTML page, you will need to add it to the gulpfile.js

  .pipe(uncss({
    html: [
      './index.html',
      './newHTMLFile.html',
      './anotherNewHTMLFile.html'
    ]
  }))

This project loads JQuery 1.11.3 and then a minified JS file that is composed of the files found in /js/source/*.js. As long as you add any additional JS files to the /js/source/ folder, gulp will handle it automatically.

• Maybe clean up that Gulp file. It's becoming unwieldy.
• QA and bugfixes for every browser except Chrome.
• Test the import functionality of client wallet files and presale wallet files.
• Test generate transactions from the imported wallet files.
• Test send transactions.
• Compile and submit solity contracts.
• Make help page. This should cover everything a basic user who bought ether presale would need to know to get that ether to another place. It should assume they know essentially nothing and are not familiar with command line. It should also cover safety and best practices and provide helpful links.
