Typescript Solidity Dev Starter Kit

This is a starter kit for developing, testing, and deploying smart contracts with a full Typescript environment. This stack uses Buidler as the platform layer to orchestrate all the tasks. Ethers is used for all Ethereum interactions and testing.

Available Functionality

Build Contracts

npm run compile

npm run build

Run Contract Tests

npm run test

Note: As is, the tests fail on purpose. This is to show the Solidity stack traces that Buidler enables!

Run Coverage Report for Tests

npm run coverage

Note: The branch coverage is 75 %.

Deploy to Ethereum

Create/modify network config in buidler.config.ts and add API key and private key, then run:

npx buidler run --network rinkeby scripts/deploy.ts

Verify on Etherscan

Add Etherscan API key to buidler.config.ts, then run:

npx buidler verify-contract --contract-name Counter --address <DEPLOYED ADDRESS>

Enhancement Wish List

• Better migrations strategy (Buidler working on this)
