3.7.2. ChainIDE Flattener Plugin

ChainIDE offers contract flattener plugin that combines all the imports from the original file into a single contract
If you're new to smart contract development and are encountering issues with file organization when trying to get your code verified on platforms such as Etherscan.io, ChainIDE's Flattener plug-in can help you simplify the verification process and ensure that your smart contract is properly organized and ready for deployment.
To use ChainIDE's Flattener plug-in, first, navigate to the "PLUGIN Manager" section of the ChainIDE platform. From there, select the Flattener plug-in and click "Install" to add it to your workspace. Once you have activated the Flattener plug-in, you can use it to create a flattened file for your smart contract. To do this, simply right-click on the smart contract file you wish to flatten and select "Flatten Contract" from the button. This will generate a flattened file under the "EXPLORER" panel and the flattened file combines all the imports from the original file into a single contract. The flattened file can then be used for verification on platforms such as Etherscan.io or for deployment to a blockchain network.
Following are the steps to create a flattened file for your smart contact:
  1. 1.
    Activate the Flattener plugin
  1. 2.
    Choose a contract file you want to flatten.
  1. 3.

    View the flattened file and use it for verifying a smart contract.
Overall, using ChainIDE's Flattener plug-in can help streamline the development and verification process for your smart contracts, making it easier to ensure that your code is properly organized and ready for deployment.
