Truffle is an Ethereum DApp end-to-end development tool that provides a development environment for writing, compiling, and deploying test smart contracts and DApps. You can write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend; Solidity is for smart contracts, and uses the web3.js API to interact with the UI and smart contract. Truffle Boxes provide helpful boilerplates, which contain helpful modules, solidity contracts and libraries, frontend code, and many other helpful files. The Truffle Boxes help developers to quickly get started with their DApp project.
