Test/Deploy Solidity Contracts with Node JS

This project is meant to be a boilerplate for my personal smart contract projects for easy testing/deployment

Step 1:

Add your contract(s) to the contracts/ folder

Step 2:

Create a .env file in ROOT of the project, and add the following:

WALLET_SECRET="<12 word mnemonic separated by space>"

CONTRACT_NAME="<name of contract, exclude .sol>"

INFURA_NODE="<infura node endpoint>"

Step 3:

Change the deploy function in both test/Contract.test.js deploy.js by either removing the arguments, adding more arguments, or changing the argument depending on your contract constructor. Further, modify send, if needed by modifying gas limit or other configuration options

Step 4:

Write your tests in test/Contract.tests.js file; feel free to add other tests in test/ directory

Step 5:

Run tests by running this command from root

npm test

Step 6

Deploy the contract to Ethereum blockchain by running

npm deploy

The specific network the contract is deployed to will be based on your infura node endpoint (feel free to replace infura node endpoint with other node endpoints, for example your own that is connected to an Ethereum blockchain netwrok )
