Deployer

Deployer functionality

The main functionality the deployer exposes is (obviously) the ability to deploy compiled contract.
This is achieved through the deploy(contract, [libraries], [params]) function.

deploy(contract, [libraries], [params])

Parameters:
  • contract - descriptor object for contract to be deployed. More
    details below
  • libraries - key-value object containing all libraries which will
    be linked to the contract.
  • params - the constructor params you'd need to pass on deploy (if
    there are any)
The contract is descriptor object that needs to have atleast the following three fields:
  • contractName - the name of the contract
  • abi - the abi interface of the contract
  • bytecode - the compiled bytecode
The easiest way to get such descriptor is to compile your solidity files via etherlime compile
The libraries object should be in the following format:
1
{
2
libraryName0: '0xAddressOfLibrary0',
3
libraryName1: '0xAddressOfLibrary1'
4
}
Copied!
If the contract to be deployed doesn't contains any libraries, {}, undefined, null, false or 0 can be passed. For convenience we have made the deploy function to work even without this parameter passed.
Example
Linking libraries
1
const contractUsingQueueAndLinkedList = require('...');
2
​
3
const libraries = {
4
Queue: '0x655341AabD39a5ee0939796dF610aD685a984C53,
5
LinkedList: '0x619acBB5Dafc5aC340B6de4821835aF50adb29c1'
6
}
7
​
8
await deployer.deploy(contractUsingQueueAndLinkedList, libraries);
Copied!
Skipping linking on contract without arguments
1
const contractWithoutLibraries = require('...');
2
​
3
await deployer.deploy(contractWithoutLibraries);
Copied!
Skipping linking on contract with arguments
1
const contractWithoutLibraries = require('...');
2
​
3
await deployer.deploy(contractWithoutLibraries, false, param1, param2);
Copied!

deployAndVerify(platform, contract, [libraries], [params])

The main functionality the deployAndVerify exposes is (obviously) the ability to deploy and then verify compiled contract on Etherscan or Blockscout platforms. This method exposes the same features as deploy method, but in addition automatically verifies the deployed smart contract using Etherscan/Blockscout APIs.
In order to use the deployAndVerify method of the deployer for Etherscan platform, an API Key is required. You can create your Etherscan API Key here.
Parameters:
  • platform - point the platform you want to verify your contract. Choices: etherscan , blockscout
  • contract - descriptor object for contract to be deployed. More
    details below
  • libraries - key-value object containing all libraries which will
    be linked to the contract.
  • params - the constructor params you'd need to pass on deploy (if
    there are any)
The deployment method reads the API Key (needed only for using Etherscan) form the deployer defaultOverrides object.
Passing API Key to the deployer:
  • Passing the API Key to the defaultOverrides object:
1
deployer.defaultOverrides = { gasLimit: 4700000, gasPrice: 3000000000, etherscanApiKey: '3DQYBPZZS77YDR15NKJHURVTV9WI2KH6UY' };
Copied!
  • Setting the API Key through the deployer setVerifierApiKey setter:
1
deployer.setVerifierApiKey('3DQYBPZZS77YDR15NKJHURVTV9WI2KH6UY')
Copied!
  • Passing the API Key from etherlime deploy command with optional parameter
    1
    etherscanApiKey: `etherlime deploy --secret="Your private key" --network="rinkeby" --etherscanApiKey="3DQYBPZZS77YDR15NKJHURVTV9WI2KH6UY"`
    Copied!
1
const deploy = async (network, secret, etherscanApiKey) => {
2
const deployer = new etherlime.InfuraPrivateKeyDeployer(secret, network, "INFURA_API_KEY");
3
deployer.defaultOverrides = { gasLimit: 4700000, gasPrice: 3000000000, etherscanApiKey };
4
};
Copied!
Network is automatically detected based on the network that the deployer is set to deploy. The supported networks are:
  • mainnet
  • ropsten
  • rinkeby
  • kovan
  • goerli

estimateGas(contract, [libraries], [params])

Estimates the gas that this transaction is going to cost you.
Parameters:
  • contract - descriptor object for contract to be deployed
  • libraries - key-value object containing all libraries which will
    be linked to the contract.
  • params - the constructor params you'd need to pass on deploy (if
    there are any)
The contract is descriptor object is the same as above.
Example :
1
const estimate = await deployer.estimateGas(TestContract, randomParam1, randomParam2);
2
// returns something like "2470692"
