solidity-metadata v1.0.0

solidity-metadata

Retrieves your Solidity dependencies and other metadata as JSON.

example output

~~ { "Address": { "compiler": "^0.5.0", "dependencies": [], "name": "Address", "type": "library" }, "AllowanceCrowdsale": { "compiler": "^0.5.0", "dependencies": "Crowdsale", "IERC20", "Math", "SafeERC20", "SafeMath" , "name": "AllowanceCrowdsale", "type": "contract" }, ... } ~~

usage

• install using npm install solidity-metadata
• use npm run get-metadata and specify a directory to get the metadata of all Solidity files therein
  • e.g. npm run get-metadata -- path/to/my/directory
  • you can also use npm run get-openzeppelin-metadata to get the metadata of the OpenZeppelin contracts, libraries, and interfaces (check package.json to see which version)
• by default, metadata is output to the metadata folder in the project root, but you can specify another directory as the second parameter
• a Python script does the heavy lifting
  • Use the third parameter to specify a path to your local Python installation if it gives you trouble

If importing the package, you can access the following properties:

• getMetadata
  • a function that, given a root directory for some Solidity files, writes their metadata and filepaths as JSON files to the project metadata or another specified directory
  • returns the paths to the output files
