A template to get you started with Cairo 1

Create a repository from this template, clone it locally and run make install. Voilà!

Make commands

• make install: Sets up the cairo git submodule
• make update: Updates the cairo submodule
• make build: Builds the cairo 1 compiler
• make test dir=<path>: Runs the tests in a crate
• make format: Formats cairo files under src/
• make check-format: Checks format for files under src/
• make starknet-compile file=<path>: Runs starknet-compile on a cairo file and stores the output under out/
• make language-server: Builds the Cairo 1 Language Server

Example

make starknet-compile file=src/erc20.cairo
make starknet-compile file=src/storage.cairo

Language server

To get proper syntax highlighting and code navigation in your editor, you will need the Cairo 1 extension. You can find instructions on how to install the vscode extension here. You can build the language server manually by running make language-server, and then edit the configuration file of the extension to point to full path of the executable under target/release/language-server. The language server needs the corelib/ directory to be present in the root directory of the project, hence it is copied from the cairo submodule when running make install.
