eth-toolset (Ethereum Development Toolset)

With Ethereum Development Toolset, you can easily:

• Compile your smart contract code into binary code that is ready for deployment
• Deploy your compile smart contract to Ethereum networks
• Invoke smart contract methods from console (commandline) for testing purpose

Configuration

Change config values in the file config.js to make it works:

• contractSourcePath: the path of folder that contains your .sol source files
• builtContractPath: the build target folder path
• deployedContractPath: the path of folder to save deployed contracts information
• networks: define networks to deploy and interact with deployed smart contracts.
  Each network is in an entry of networks dictionary: network_id: {...}
  For example:
  dev: { url: "http://localhost:8545", defaultAccount: { address: '0x...', privateKey: 'Your account private key' }, gas: 6500000 }

Compile smart contract(s)

Run the following command in your terminal:

node compile.js

That will compile all .sol files in the contractSourcePath. Each contract's bytecode and definition will be saved as <builtContractPath>/<contract_name>.json file.
We will support compile single .sol file in the future.

Deploy smart contract

Run the following command in your terminal:

node deploy.js --contract=YourContractName [ --network=targetNetworkId ] [ --params='[param1, param2,...] ]'

In that:

• --contract (required): your contract name
• --network (optional): the Id of network (defined in the config key networks) that you want to deploy the contract to. If skipped, the net work id default will be used.
• --params (optional): the parameters's values that will be passed to the smart contract's constructor. Skip this if the smart contract's constructor has no parameter.

This finds the contract <builtContractPath>/YourContractName.json definition (generated by compile process) to deploy contract to the selected network. The deployment information (contract address, transaction hash,... ) will be saved to <deployedContractPath>/YourContractName_<networkId>.json. For example:

node deploy.js --contract=TradeLog --network=dev --params='[12345, "Mr Fun"]'

(if success, deployment info will be saved as <deployedContractPath>/TradeLog_dev.json)

Invoke smart contract method

Run in the terminal:

node invoke.js [ --network=networkId ] --contract=YourContractName --method=methodName --verb=call|send [ --params='[param1,param2]' ]

This will use the contract deployment info (from file <deployedContractPath>/YourContractName_<networkId>.json generated by the deployment process) to build the contract and invoke the method.

Example:

• Invoke send method: node invoke.js --network=dev --contract=TradeLog --method=recordTrade --verb=send --params='["000001","EUR", "USD", 2]'
• Invoke call method: node invoke.js --network=dev --contract=TradeLog --method=getTradeRecord --verb=call --params='["000001"]'
