Practical Sample With Hardhat + Solidity

A fully functional Smart Contract wrriten with solidity, node.js and using Hardhat to show usage of all kinds of standard development features, including:

• running blockchain node in localhost - hardhat & ganache
• solidity prettier code beautifier setup
• standard of developing Smart Contract with solidity
• standard of developing node.js script to use hardhat library efficiently
• check gas fee & gas price in real-time, with usage of coverage
• auto verify contract on Etherscan.io
• creating automate test cases - unit test & staging test
• creating tasks etc.
• refactor codes to reduce gas fee
• write code in best practice, with usage of solhint
• prettier solidity & node.js code
• gitea version control

This project mainly to keep as a reference for future Web 3.0 Developments.

Success Deploy & Verified Of This Smart Contract To Sepolia Testnet

0xc2022b56eBC140B5FebCf9FBaB14c17db4C315C4 https://sepolia.etherscan.io/address/0xc2022b56eBC140B5FebCf9FBaB14c17db4C315C4#code Via deploy.js https://sepolia.etherscan.io/address/0x3a827C119e1D746bb3C7bcbbf95c55246C8CcBdd#code Via yarn hardhat deploy --network sepolia

1. Git Version Control

First time initialize:

git config --global user.name "hoelee"
git config --global user.email "me@hoelee.com"
git init .
git add .
git checkout -b main
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
git remote set-url origin https://username:accessToken@git.hoelee.com/hoelee/ethers-simple-storage.git
git credential-cache exit // Fix Credential Error

Standard Update:

git add .
git commit -m "Describe what changes"
git push -u origin main
    // After set this, later easier usage via below line
git push
git pull

Development need exlude file can create root file with name .gitignore

node_modules
package.json
img
artifacts
cache
coverage
.env
.*
README.md
coverage.json

2. Setup Visual Studio Code Development Environment

Windows need to download install WSL

wsl --set-default Ubuntu-22.04
mkdir theProjectFolderName
cd theProjectFolderName
code .
// Install nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
nvm install 16.14.2
nvm install node.js
nvm install 18 // Update node JS to v18

Visual Studio need to update code setting

"[solidity]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter":"NomicFoundation.hardhat-solidity"
    }

Preparing of solidity development environment:

corepack enable // Enable yarn
yarn install solc
yarn add solc@0.8.7fixed
yarn solcjs --bin --abi --include-path node_modules/ --base-path . -o . SimpleStorage.sol
yarn add ethers // Compiler Error, Downgraded to v5.7.2
yarn add fs-extra
yarn add dotenv
yarn add prettier
yarn add prettier-plugin-solidity

Preparing of Hardhat Development Environment

yarn init 
// Manual delete main: index.js in package.json
yarn add --dev hardhat // Production no need --dev
nvm install 18
nvm use 18
nvm alias default 18
corepack enable // Enable yarn
yarn hardhat
yarn add --dev prettier prettier-plugin-solidity
yarn add --dev dotenv
yarn add --dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan // Auto verify Etherscan Samrt Contract
yarn add --dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle
yarn add --dev solhint
yarn add --dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers@npm:hardhat-deploy-ethers ethers
yarn add --dev hardhat-gas-reporter
yarn add --dev solidity-coverage
yarn add --dev solhint

Other Terminal Useful Command 1:

// For Debuging Hardhat
npx hardhat --versose

// For Recompile
yarn hardhat clean // Or manual delete artifacts & cache folder
npm install

// For Listing Hardhat Local Blockchain node
yarn hardhat accounts
yarn hardhat node  // Run in Dedicated Terminal, Getting Blockchain server
yarn hardhat console --network localhost // Short Life To Test Solidity Code In Terminal
yarn hardhat compile
yarn hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost
yarn hardhat custom-task-name
    // Need create file in /tasks/custom-task-name.js
    // Add import in hardhat.config.js -> requir("/tasks/custom-task-name");
yarn hardhat test
yarn hardhat test --grep customSearchKeyword
    // Only will run the test with describe test that contain "customSearchKeyword"

Other Terminal Useful Command 2:

// For Getting Gas Used & Gas Price
yarn hardhat test
    // Will create a file in ./gas-report.txt
    // With .env of etherscan API key
// For Getting Coverage
yarn hardhat coverage
    // Checking code usage & tested percentage
// For Checking Code Best Practice
yarn solhint contracts/*.sol
// For Get Fake Price Feed On Localhost & Ganache
yarn hardhat deploy --tags mocks --network localhost

Debug Node.js need to open Javascript Debug Terminal first, via ctrl + shift + p

Reduce Gas Used:

• Prioritize use private instead of public
• Use constant which declare once in constructor
• Use immutable which declare once only

This is because blockchain will have higher read and store gas fee on storage block, lesser in bytes code block.
