Description

Fixes #260.

Currently, developers running a local Hardhat node encounter CORS errors and the "Ghost Contract" issue because the Wagmi configuration and read hooks are hardcoded to the Sepolia testnet.

This PR introduces a dynamic Wagmi configuration that seamlessly allows local Hardhat development without breaking the production Sepolia locks.

Changes Made

  • Wagmi Config: Injected the Hardhat chain and transport conditionally based on process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'.
  • Read Hooks: Removed hardcoded chainId: sepolia.id from useReadContract hooks (like GetUserElections.ts, GetOpenElections.ts) so they default to the actively connected chain.
  • UI Components: Updated <ChainSwitchModal> logic in Create/Profile pages to permit the Hardhat Chain ID (31337) during local development.

How to Test

  1. Run a local hardhat node: npx hardhat node
  2. Start the local dev server: npm run dev
  3. Connect a local wallet (e.g., MetaMask on localhost:8545). The app will successfully read/write without forcing a switch to Sepolia.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for connecting to a local development blockchain.
    • Election creation now supports the local development network alongside Sepolia.
    • Added validation to reject blank candidate names and descriptions.
    • Candidate names and descriptions are trimmed before submission.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated election factory and network configuration for local and production environments.
    • Improved contract network selection across election data and user election views.
    • Updated network-switch prompts for environment-specific blockchain support.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client now supports local Hardhat development while retaining Sepolia and Avalanche Fuji configuration. Election reads use the active Wagmi chain. Election creation validates candidate fields and applies environment-specific chain handling.

Changes

Local Hardhat development

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hardhat network configuration
client/.env.example, client/app/helpers/client.ts, client/app/constants.ts, client/package.json
The client conditionally registers Hardhat and its local RPC transport in development. It selects the development factory address and adds the required dependency.
Wallet-selected contract reads
client/app/components/Hooks/*
Election read hooks no longer explicitly target Sepolia. Wagmi uses the active chain configuration.
Election creation controls
client/app/create/page.tsx
The creation page selects Hardhat in development and Sepolia otherwise. It rejects whitespace-only candidate names and descriptions and submits trimmed values. The chain-switch modal reflects environment-specific chain support.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 22e6f

The change enables local Hardhat usage, but the creation flow may still allow Hardhat outside development while production remains configured for Sepolia, which could cause failed or incorrect contract interactions. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up guard for production.

Stale modal text says "only on Sepolia".

The ChainSwitchModal message still reads "Creating Elections is supported only on Sepolia", but the condition at line 236 now also permits Hardhat. This will confuse local developers who see the modal on yet another unsupported chain.

key={index} on candidate list can cause input state bugs after removal.

When a candidate is removed via removeCandidate, React reuses DOM nodes by index position, which can cause the wrong candidate's input values to appear in the wrong slot (stale state flicker). Consider using a stable unique ID per candidate instead of array index.

♻️ Proposed fix using stable IDs
 interface Candidate {
+  id: string;
   name: string;
   description: string;
 }
 // ...
 const addCandidate = () => {
-  setCandidates([...candidates, { name: "", description: "" }]);
+  setCandidates([...candidates, { id: crypto.randomUUID(), name: "", description: "" }]);
 };
 // ...
 const removeCandidate = (index: number) => {
   const newCandidates = candidates.filter((_, i) => i !== index);
   setCandidates(newCandidates);
 };
 // In the JSX:
-                <motion.div

Hi @Ronnieraj37 and @therealhamad! Just a friendly ping on this PR. I've addressed the automated feedback from CodeRabbit to ensure the Hardhat dynamic routing only triggers in local environments. Let me know if you'd like any changes made to the configuration, happy to adjust!

Gate Hardhat to development and reject whitespace-only candidate fields.

  • In production, chain 31337 bypasses the modal, but the client uses the Sepolia factory address. Restrict the Hardhat exception to NODE_ENV === "development".
  • Use .trim() when validating candidate names and descriptions. The current check accepts whitespace-only values.
  • Update the modal text to mention local Hardhat only in development.

@Ronnieraj37 I've reverted the package-lock.json as requested. CodeRabbit also caught a minor environment gate issue in the UI routing, so I pushed a quick fix for that in the same commit to ensure production remains strictly locked to Sepolia. Everything is clean and ready for your final review!
