This script helps you to compile, deploy, and verify your smart contract on whichever blockchain network that allows smart contracts.
#1. Place your contract (.sol) file at hardhat/contracts
#2. Fill in your contract constructor arguments at hardhat/arguments.js
#3. Fill in your network provider, wallet private key, and etherscan API key at hardhat/hardhat.config.js
npm i to install all relevant libraries
bash automate.sh if you are on a Windows OS.
./automate.sh if you are on a Mac OS.
Contracts may require other external libraries which could be installed manually using npm.
Currently, openzepplin's contract libraries are provided in the package.json.
This is a simple script, created with not a lot of use case and flexibility in mind. Therefore, it is unable to handle multiple contracts compilation and deployment at the same time.
Do not put more than one contract in hardhard/contracts as the deploy script will only prepare for the first contract by alphabetical order.
