@chainlink/contracts

Chainlink's solidity contracts and contract abstractions

Migration Notice

This package stores all of chainlink's smart contracts, previously known as the evm/ directory. The previous package was called chainlink, now it is @chainlink/contracts.

Layout

This package makes use of @chainlink/belt to output artifacts along with ethers.js and truffle contract abstractions from the smart contracts stored within src. The resulting layout of the package when published looks like:

contracts
├── abi # abi output from src/
│   ├── v0.4
│   ├── v0.5
│   └── v0.6
├── ethers # ethers contract abstractions codegenned from abis
│   ├── v0.4
│   ├── v0.5
│   └── v0.6
├── src # the contracts themselves, in .sol form
│   ├── v0.4
│   ├── v0.5
│   └── v0.6
└── truffle  # truffle contract abstractions codegenned from abis
    ├── v0.4
    ├── v0.5
    └── v0.6

Usage

Install this package with the following command:

yarn add @chainlink/contracts

These smart contracts can be imported as a dependency in various ways described below.

Solidity

The solidity smart contracts themselves can simply be imported via the src directory of @chainlink/contracts. If you wanted to consume the v0.4.x version of our Oracle smart contract, you could do the following:

import "@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.4/Chainlinked.sol";

Artifacts

JSON artifacts generated by sol-compiler are available under the abi directory. If you wanted to consume the v0.4.x version of our Oracle JSON artifact with Javascript, you could do the following:

const OracleV4Json = require('@chainlink/contracts/abi/v0.4/Oracle.json')

Ethers

This library ships with ethers.js contract abstractions generated by typechain. To use these, make sure you have ethers.js installed as a dependency:

yarn add ethers@^4.0.44

If you wanted to consume the v0.4.x version of our Oracle with Javascript, you could do the following:

import { OracleFactory } from '@chainlink/contracts/ethers/v0.4/OracleFactory'

This gives a fully typed (if using typescript) version of a ethers.js contract factory. See the ethers documentation on usage.

Truffle

This library ships with @truffle/contract abstractions of each of our smart contracts. To use these, make sure you have @truffle/contract as a dependency.

yarn add @truffle/contract@^4.1.8

If you wanted to consume the v0.4.x version of our Oracle with Javascript, you could do the following:

const { Oracle } = require('@chainlink/contracts/truffle/v0.4/Oracle')

For usage, see the @truffle/contract documentation.

For ease of use with testing, if the environment variable NODE_ENV is set, the imported truffle contract abstraction will automatically set its provider to web3.currentProvider, avoiding the need to perform a setProvider call before using it during your truffle tests.

NODE_ENV=true yarn truffle test

Development

Setup

After cloning the chainlink repo, run yarn install and then yarn setup:contracts.

Testing

After walking through the above setup commands, you can run yarn test from within evm-contracts/ or run yarn wsrun @chainlink/contracts test from the root.
