Hello World !

To get started quickly, you can generate a new project with the following command
scrypto new-package helloworld
Now, let's look at the directory structure created by the new-package command:
- helloworld
    - src
        - lib.rs
    - tests
        - lib.rs
    - Cargo.toml
src/lib.rs is where you will write your package's code
tests/lib.rs is where you will write the unit tests for your blueprints
Cargo.toml is your package's manifest. It allows you to set a name, a version and specify the Rust dependencies
Now open src/lib.rs.
use scrypto::prelude::*;
blueprint! { 
    struct Hello { 
        // Define what resources and data will be managed by Hello components 
        sample_vault: Vault 
    }
    impl Hello {
        // Implement the functions and methods which will manage those resources and data
        
        // This is a function, and can be called directly on the blueprint once deployed
        pub fn new() -> Component {
            // Create a new token called "HelloToken," with a fixed supply of 1000, and put that supply into a bucket
            let my_bucket: Bucket = ResourceBuilder::new_fungible(DIVISIBILITY_MAXIMUM)
                .metadata("name", "HelloToken")
                .metadata("symbol", "HT")
                .initial_supply_fungible(1000);
    
            // Instantiate a Hello component, populating its vault with our supply of 1000 HelloToken
            Self {
                sample_vault: Vault::with_bucket(my_bucket)
            }
            .instantiate()
        }
    
        // This is a method, because it needs a reference to self.  Methods can only be called on components
        pub fn free_token(&mut self) -> Bucket {
            info!("My balance is: {} HelloToken. Now giving away a token!", self.sample_vault.amount());
            // If the semi-colon is omitted on the last line, the last value seen is automatically returned
            // In this case, a bucket containing 1 HelloToken is returned
            self.sample_vault.take(1)
        }
    }
}
Everything inside this lib.rs file defines your package. Typically you will find a single blueprint! section in this file. (It is possible to include other blueprints defined in other files within this src directory using the mod declaration but the details are beyond the scope of this tutorial.)
The blueprint! macro defines a code template that can be published on the ledger. It has two sections: one that defines the data that generated components will have access to and one that defines the functions and methods.
struct Hello { 
    // Define what resources and data will be managed by Hello components 
    sample_vault: Vault 
}
The struct section defines the state information for the components that are instantiated from this blueprint. In this case the generated components will have a vault named sample_vault where they will be able to store tokens on the ledger.
Next, is the impl section where all of the functions and methods of the instantiated components are defined. Notice that the first function named new returns a Component. Because it returns a Component, it acts as a constructor which, when called, instantiates and returns a new component that operates according to this blueprint.
pub fn new() -> Component {
    // Create a new token called "HelloToken," with a fixed supply of 1000, and put that supply into a bucket
    let my_bucket: Bucket = ResourceBuilder::new_fungible(DIVISIBILITY_MAXIMUM)
        .metadata("name", "HelloToken")
        .metadata("symbol", "HT")
        .initial_supply_fungible(1000);
​
    // Instantiate a Hello component, populating its vault with our supply of 1000 HelloToken
    Self {
        sample_vault: Vault::with_bucket(my_bucket)
    }
    .instantiate()
}
The new function first creates a new type of token named "HelloToken" with a fixed supply of 1000. The 1000 created tokens are all stored in a Bucket named my_bucket. Then it instantiates the component using the syntax shown and, within the body of Self specifying all of the initial values of the elements listed above in the struct. In this case, there is only one, sample_vault, which it creates using the tokens inside my_bucket.
Instantiating a component from a blueprint is just the beginning. For a component to be useful it also needs to define additional methods that you can call to perform various tasks.
pub fn free_token(&mut self) -> Bucket {
    info!("My balance is: {} HelloToken. Now giving away a token!", self.sample_vault.amount());
    // If the semi-colon is omitted on the last line, the last value seen is automatically returned
    // In this case, a bucket containing 1 HelloToken is returned
    self.sample_vault.take(1)
}
Here we see a method named free_token that returns a Bucket containing a single token from the sample_vault. As you can see, the method contains a single parameter &mut self that is used to get access to the state variables, in this case sample_vault. Because this is a method (it has a reference to self), you can only call it on instantiated components.
Trying the blueprint
In the next section, we will show how you can use the Scrypto CLI resim to instantiate this blueprint to make a component and then call its method.
