solidity_contract_monitor

Overview

This projects compiles and deploys a simple contract written in solidity on to the local block chain. It also monitors updates/actions on the contract asychronously, and prints updates to the CLI.

Setup

Local Chain

I am using foundry to setup the basic local infra. Foundry seems to have pretty good documentation. Almost every setup step below is from the Foundry Book. The section of the doc is meant to serve as a quick and dirty startup guide. For any details, refer the offical documentation.

• Install foundry : curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
• Foundry ships with a tool called anvil, use it to spin up a local chain.

Once contracts are built and anvil has spun up, we can depoly the contract on to the chain.

To deploy via cli

forge create ${contract_name} --private-key ${key} --rpc-url ${local_chain_url}

Note: contract should have already been built using forge before deployment.

Dev Setup

• Clone this repo, cd into the contracts directory.
• The first time you setup the project you will have to run forge install to download/clone dependencies.
• run forge build. This will compile the solidity contracts, and dump them under contracts/out/. Ensure that out has the compiled jsons. Our main programs will read files from this location.
• cd back to the root dir, and run cargo run.

tl;dr

anvil & cd contracts && forge build && cd ../ && cargo run
