Please install or have installed the following:
- Install Brownie, if you haven't already. Here is a simple way to install brownie.
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
# restart your terminal
pipx install eth-brownieOr, if that doesn't work, via pip
pip install eth-brownie- Download the mix and install dependancies.
brownie bake chainlink-mix
cd chainlink-mix
pip install -r requirements.txtThis will open up a new Chainlink project. Or, you can clone from source:
git clone https://github.com/PatrickAlphaC/chainlink-mix
cd chainlink-mixIf you want to be able to deploy to testnets, do the following.
Set your WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID, and PRIVATE_KEY environment variables.
You can get a WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID by getting a free trial of Infura. At the moment, it does need to be infura with brownie. If you get lost, you can follow this guide to getting a project key. You can find your PRIVATE_KEY from your ethereum wallet like metamask.
You'll also need testnet ETH and LINK. You can get LINK and ETH into your wallet by using the faucets located here. If you're new to this, watch this video.. Look at the rinkeby and kovan sections for those specific testnet faucets.
You can add your environment variables to a .env file. You can use the .env.exmple as a template, just fill in the values and rename it to '.env'. Then, uncomment the line # dotenv: .env in brownie-config.yaml
Here is what your .env should look like:
export WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID=<PROJECT_ID>
export PRIVATE_KEY=<PRIVATE_KEY>
AND THEN RUN source .env TO ACTIVATE THE ENV VARIABLES
(You'll need to do this everytime you open a new terminal, or learn how to set them easier)
WARNING
DO NOT SEND YOUR PRIVATE KEY WITH FUNDS IN IT ONTO GITHUB
Otherwise, you can build, test, and deploy on your local environment.
For local testing install ganache-cli
npm install -g ganache-clior
yarn add global ganache-cliAll the scripts are designed to work locally or on a testnet. You can add a ganache-cli or ganache UI chain like so:
brownie networks add Ethereum ganache host=http://localhost:8545 chainid=1337
And update the brownie config accordingly. There is a deploy_mocks script that will launch and deploy mock Oracles, VRFCoordinators, Link Tokens, and Price Feeds on a Local Blockchain.
This mix provides a simple template for working with Chainlink Smart Contracts. The easiest way to start is to fork the mainnet chain to a local ganache chain. This will allow you to deploy local smart contracts to interact with the Chainlink Price Feeds.
NOTE: It's highly encouraged that you work with a local chain before testing on a testnet. You'll be a much faster developer!
This will compile all the solidity code
brownie compile
This will deploy a smart contract to kovan and then make an API call via Chainlink API Call, to read the single CO2 concentration you requested
brownie run scripts/co2ledger__scripts/01_deploy_co2.py --network kovan
brownie run scripts/co2ledger__scripts/02_request_co2_data.py --network kovan
# Request the data
brownie run scripts/co2ledger__scripts/03_read_co2_data.py --network kovan
To read all the entries logged, use:
brownie run scripts/co2ledger_scripts/04_read_all.py --network kovan
Since we're using Oracles, the local infrastructure does not currently exist to support this, so for now, this mode is unsupported
brownie test
For more information on effective testing with Chainlink, check out Testing Smart Contracts
Tests are really robust here! They work for local development and testnets. There are a few key differences between the testnets and the local networks. We utilize mocks so we can work with fake oracles on our testnets.
There is a test_unnecessary folder, which is a good exersize for learning some of the nitty-gritty of smart contract development. It's overkill, so pytest will skip them intentionally. It also has a test_samples folder, which shows an example Chainlink API call transaction receipt.
brownie testThis will test the same way as local testing, but you will need a connection to a mainnet blockchain (like with the infura environment variable.)
brownie test --network mainnet-forkKovan and Rinkeby are currently supported
brownie test --network kovanIf the blockchain is EVM Compatible, adding new chains can be accomplished by something like:
brownie networks add Ethereum binance-smart-chain host=https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org chainid=56
or, for a fork:
brownie networks add development binance-fork cmd=ganache-cli host=http://127.0.0.1 fork=https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org accounts=10 mnemonic=brownie port=8545
You will need LINK tokens in your metamask wallet to transact (even with the testnets). Dont worry, this can be achieved for free! To receive testnet Link tokens, go to your metamask wallet, and switch to the testnet of interest, say Kovan. Paste that address into:
https://faucets.chain.link/kovan OR https://kovan.chain.link/
pip install black
pip install autoflake
autoflake --in-place --remove-unused-variables --remove-all-unused-imports -r .
black .
If you're using vscode and the solidity extension, you can create a folder called .vscode at the root folder of this project, and create a file called settings.json, and add the following content:
{
"solidity.remappings": [
"@chainlink/=[YOUR_HOME_DIR]/.brownie/packages/smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts@0.2.2",
"@openzeppelin/=[YOUR_HOME_DIR]/.brownie/packages/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts@4.3.2"
]
}This will quiet the linting errors it gives you.
To get started with Brownie:
- Chainlink Documentation
- Check out the Chainlink documentation to get started from any level of smart contract engineering.
- Check out the other Brownie mixes that can be used as a starting point for your own contracts. They also provide example code to help you get started.
- "Getting Started with Brownie" is a good tutorial to help you familiarize yourself with Brownie.
- For more in-depth information, read the Brownie documentation
