Soliditool— Solidity utils library

This library holds pre-made functions to make your life easier when coding your smart contract.

Overview

This library can help you keep your code cleaner and avoid rewriting code.

Functions in the library

Those are the functions available in this library:

compareStrings()

Function to compare 2 strings. Use the compareStrings function with 2 parameters, it will compare them and return a bool value.

For example:

compareStrings("blue", "red") will return false.

    function compareStrings(string memory firstString, string memory secondString) internal pure returns (bool) {
        return keccak256(bytes(firstString)) == keccak256(bytes(secondString));
    }

pseudoRandom

Function to generate a pseudo-random number.

WARNING: This function does not return a real random value; this function is to be used for testing ONLY and not in production where a real random number is needed.

    function pseudoRandom() public view returns (uint) {
        bytes32 blockHash = blockhash(block.number - 1);
        return uint(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(block.timestamp, uint(blockHash))));
    }

findString

Function to find the index matching a string in an array. This function takes a string as a parameter and loops through an array of strings. It then returns the index of the matching string (if it exists), or the 420 code if it does not exist.

    function findString(string[] memory array, string memory _string) internal pure returns (uint) {
        for (uint i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            string memory stringToFind = array[i];
            bool exists = Utils.compareStrings(stringToFind, _string);
            if (exists == true) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return uint(420);
    }

findUint

Function to find the index matching a uint in an array. This function takes a uint as a parameter and loops through an array of units. It then returns the index of the matching unit (if it exists) or the 90909090 code if it does not exist.

    function findUint(uint[] memory array, uint _number) internal pure returns (uint) {
        for (uint i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            uint uintToFind = array[i];
            if (_number == uintToFind) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return uint(90909090);
    }

findInt

Function to find the index matching an int in an array. This function takes an int as a parameter and loops through an array of ints. It then returns the index of the matching int (if it exists) or the 90909090 code if it does not exist.

    function findInt(int[] memory array, int _number) internal pure returns (uint) {
        for (uint i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            int intToFind = array[i];
            if (_number == intToFind) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return uint(90909090);
    }

Getting started

Download the Soliditool package into your project by running:

npm install soliditool

Then import it into your smart contract adding this import statement at the top:

import "soliditool/contracts/Utils.sol";

Here is an example:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "soliditool/contracts/Utils.sol";

contract TryUtils {

    string[] public colors = ["blue", "yellow", "red"];
    uint[] public numbers = [1,4,7];
    int[] public moreNumbers = [-3,99,-5343];

    address public owner;

    function compareStrings(string memory firstString, string memory secondString) public pure returns(bool) {
        return Utils.compareStrings(firstString, secondString);
    }
}
