hardhat-solc-excludes

Sometimes, you want to exclude certain files or directories from being compiled by Hardhat. Unfortunately, there's no inbuilt way to do that.

Enter hardhat-solc-excludes.

By importing hardhat-solc-excludes (import @xplorfin/hardhat-solc-excludes), Hardhat's Solidity configuration interface is extended with an excludes sub-object, which looks something like

interface SolcExcludes {
    files?: string[],
    directories?: string[],
}

The internal Hardhat subtask responsible for gathering the list of Solidity files to compile is overridden with one that does more or less the same thing, save for filtering out files and directories which are defined in the excludes object.

Installation

• Yarn: yarn add --dev @xplorfin/hardhat-solc-excludes
• NPM: npm i --save-dev @xplorfin/hardhat-solc-excludes

Usage

// hardhat.config.ts

// make sure hardhat-solc-excludes is imported somewhere close to the top of your hardhat config file.
import {HardhatUserConfig} from "hardhat/types";
import "@xplorfin/hardhat-solc-excludes";

const hardhatConfig: HardhatUserConfig = {
    /* your hardhat config goes here */
    solidity: {
        compilers: [
            {
                version: "0.7.6",
                settings: {/*...*/},
            },
            {
                version: "0.6.12",
                settings: {/*...*/},
                // Exclude files/directories at the compiler level
                excludes: {
                    files: ["MyContractToExclude.sol"]
                }
            }
        ],
        // Exclude files/directories at the global config level (applies to ALL compilers) 
        excludes: {
            directories: [
                "contracts/directory_to_exclude"
            ]
        }
    }
};

export default hardhatConfig;
