This plugin integrates Web3.js 2.x
into Buidler.
This plugin brings to Buidler the Web3 module and an initialized instance of Web3.
npm install --save-dev @xiawpohr/buidler-web3-v2 web3@2.0.0-alpha.1
And add the following statement to your buidler.config.js
:
usePlugin("@xiawpohr/buidler-web3-v2");
This plugin creates no additional tasks.
This plugin adds the following elements to the BuidlerRuntimeEnvironment
:
Web3
: The Web3.js module.web3
: An instantiated Web3.js object connected to the selected network.
Install it and access Web3.js through the Buidler Runtime Environment anywhere you need it (tasks, scripts, tests, etc). For example, in your buidler.config.js
:
usePlugin("@nomiclabs/buidler-web3");
// task action function receives the Buidler Runtime Environment as second argument
task("accounts", "Prints accounts", async (_, { web3 }) => {
console.log(await web3.eth.getAccounts());
});
module.exports = {};
And then run npx buidler accounts
to try it.
Read the documentation on the Buidler Runtime Environment to learn how to access the BRE in different ways to use Web3.js from anywhere the BRE is accessible.
You need to add this to your tsconfig.json
