5. Deploy a smart contract using Hardhat
This tutorial discusses the compilation, testing, and deployment of a smart contract through Hardhat. For more information, visit the Hardhat documentation at https://hardhat.org/getting-started
Hardhat is a development environment for compiling, deploying, testing, and debugging Ethereum-based smart contracts. It helps developers manage and automate the repetitive tasks inherent in building smart contracts and dApps, and easily introduces more functionality around this workflow. This means compiling, running, and testing smart contracts on the core. Much of Hardhat's functionality comes from plugins, and as a developer, you are free to choose which plugins you want to use.
From version 2.1 of ChainIDE, the Terminal function is supported, and the background can be used to test, compile and deploy the Hardhat framework. The purpose of this tutorial is to teach how to use Hardhat in chainIDE, and please refer to its related documentation for specific hardhat usage.
The steps are following:
Click "Output" in the lower right corner, then click "Command Line" in the middle, and then click "npm-hardhat" to switch to the command-line interface.
To create a new project, use
npx hardhat,
and a new Hardhat project will be added to your project folder:$ npx hardhat

Welcome to Hardhat v2.0.8
? What do you want to do? …
❯ Create a sample project
Create an empty hardhat.config.js
Quit
Enter~
Let's create a sample project and go through these steps to try out sample tasks and compile, test, and deploy sample contracts.
The example project will require you to install hardhat-waffle and hardhat-ethers, which makes Hardhat compatible with tests built with Waffle.
Hardhat will let you know how, but, if you missed them, you can install them with npm install --save-dev@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle ethereum-waffle
chai @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers ethers
To first get a quick overview of what's available and what's going on, run
npx hardhat
in your t:$ npx hardhat

To get help for a specific task run: npx hardhat help [task]
Here is a list of built-in tasks and a sample accounts task. Going a step further, as you start adding more functionality with plugins, the tasks defined by these will also show up here. This is your starting point for finding out which tasks can run.
If you look at the
hardhat.config.js
file, you will find accounts
defined:require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
// This is a sample Hardhat task. To learn how to create your own go to
// https://hardhat.org/guides/create-task.html
task("accounts", "Prints the list of accounts", async (taskArgs, hre) => {
const accounts = await hre.ethers.getSigners();
for (const account of accounts) {
console.log(account.address);
}
});
// You need to export an object to set up your config
// Go to https://hardhat.org/config/ to learn more
/**
* @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig
*/
module.exports = {
solidity: "0.8.4",
};
To run it, try
npx hardhat accounts
:$ npx hardhat accounts

Next, if you look at contracts/ you should be able to find
Greeter.sol
://SPDX-License-Identifier: Unlicense
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import "hardhat/console.sol";
contract Greeter {
string private greeting;
constructor(string memory _greeting) {
console.log("Deploying a Greeter with greeting:", _greeting);
greeting = _greeting;
}
function greet() public view returns (string memory) {
return greeting;
}
function setGreeting(string memory _greeting) public {
console.log("Changing greeting from '%s' to '%s'", greeting, _greeting);
greeting = _greeting;
}
}
To compile it, just run:
npx hardhat compile
const { expect } = require("chai");
const { ethers } = require("hardhat");
describe("Greeter", function () {
it("Should return the new greeting once it's changed", async function () {
const Greeter = await ethers.getContractFactory("Greeter");
const greeter = await Greeter.deploy("Hello, world!");
await greeter.deployed();
expect(await greeter.greet()).to.equal("Hello, world!");
const setGreetingTx = await greeter.setGreeting("Hola, mundo!");
// wait until the transaction is mined
await setGreetingTx.wait();
expect(await greeter.greet()).to.equal("Hola, mundo!");
});
});
you can run your test
npx hardhat test
$ npx hardhat test
Compiling 1 file with 0.7.3
Compilation finished successfully
Greeter
Deploying a Greeter with greeting: Hello, world!
Changing greeting from 'Hello, world!' to 'Hola, mundo!'
✓ Should return the new greeting once it's changed (803ms)
1 passing (805ms)
Next, in order to deploy the contract, we will use the Hardhat script. Inside
scripts/
you will find the following code in sample-script.js
:// We require the Hardhat Runtime Environment explicitly here. This is optional
// but useful for running the script in a standalone fashion through `node <script>`.
//
// When running the script with `npx hardhat run <script>` you'll find the Hardhat
// Runtime Environment's members available in the global scope.
const hre = require("hardhat");
async function main() {
// Hardhat always runs the compile task when running scripts with its command
// line interface.
//
// If this script is run directly using `node` you may want to call compile
// manually to make sure everything is compiled
// await hre.run('compile');
// We get the contract to deploy
const Greeter = await hre.ethers.getContractFactory("Greeter");
const greeter = await Greeter.deploy("Hello, Hardhat!");
await greeter.deployed();
console.log("Greeter deployed to:", greeter.address);
}
// We recommend this pattern to be able to use async/await everywhere
// and properly handle errors.
main()
.then(() => process.exit(0))
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(1);
});
Run it in npx hardhat run scripts/sample-script.js:
$ npx hardhat run scripts/sample-script.js
Deploying a Greeter with greeting: Hello, Hardhat!
Greeter deployed to: 0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3
By default, Hardhat will always start an in-memory instance of the Hardhat Network at boot. It is also possible to run Hardhat Network in standalone mode so that external clients can connect to it, maybe MetaMask, your Dapp frontend, or some script. To run Hardhat Network this way, run npx hardhat node:
$ npx hardhat node
Started HTTP and WebSocket JSON-RPC server at http://127.0.0.1:8545/
This will expose a JSON-RPC interface to the hardhat network. Due to the particularity of the chainIDE port, port forwarding is required first.
- 1.First run
npx hardhat node
to start the hardhat network, this will provide 20 accounts, we choose one of the accounts and save its private key
$ npx hardhat node
Started HTTP and WebSocket JSON-RPC server at http://0.0.0.0:8545/
Accounts
========
WARNING: These accounts, and their private keys, are publicly known.
Any funds sent to them on Mainnet or any other live network WILL BE LOST.

...
2. Next, perform port mapping, click the port, select npm-hardhat for image, port 8545, and click Add:
And copy the address of the port mapping
3. Open hardhat.config.js in the editor, delete the original content and use the following content, fill in the mapped address and the private key just saved:
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
module.exports = {
solidity: "0.8.0",
networks: {
localhost: {
url: "***",// 8545
accounts: ["**"],
},
},
};
4. Create a new npm-hardhat terminal and enter the following command to deploy the contract to the local node:
npx hardhat run scripts/sample-script.js --network localhost
5. if you need to deploy to the main network and test network, please configure the relevant network fields and deploy.
