hardhat VS ethers.js

Hardhat is an Ethereum development framework for creating, testing and deploying smart contracts. It includes a suite of tools that aid in developing smart contracts and managing the complete development process, allowing developers to write scripts, compile, test, and deploy efficiently.

That's it for the first part ! Then we will use Hardhat to deploy our Solidity Contract on the Polygon testnet, and then overload our mintNFT() function with the actual minting. If you want to see the Part 2 quickly, give us some love and we will execute ! ❤️❤️❤️

To keep things simple and visible (in case you cant deploy), we will use Sepolia testnet blockchain and Hardhat as development environment, so to configure hardhat to use sepolia we need to add the following configuration to the hardhat.config.js file:

The documentation has no mention of Trezor wallet support. According to this GitHub issue I could try out this Frame application, but I was wondering if there was a simpler solution that didn't require installing some 3rd party application.

I have two skipped tests because at the time of writing this article events firing doesn't work properly in the latest version. Link to the github issue

Hardhat

Other options include Remix (an IDE), ChainIDE, Anchor (for Solana), Hardhat, and lots of others. Web3 dev environments have come a long way in a short time, and there’s probably something out there for whatever you need.

Hardhat allows developers to build, test, and deploy smart contracts and dApps using a variety of tools and libraries. With over 114K users on GitHub and an active Discord community, Hardhat is a hugely popular framework for dApp developers. Much of its popularity can be attributed to its rich list of features, flexibility and the Hardhat Ethereum Virtual Machine for testing and debugging smart contracts.

The hardhat-ethers plugin adds the ethers.js library to the Hardhat node, making it possible to use its functionalities. It's possible to use it to deploy the contract, but since our goal is to create transactions, we can also add some code to do that as well.

Also learning how to use one of these development environments instead of Remix is necessary: 1. Hardhat: https://hardhat.org 2. Foundry: https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry

- https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/ - Ethers JavaScript / TypeScript - Possibly more clean that Web3 JavaScript

ethers.js and MetaMask

Also, this seems relevant: https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/discussions/1899

You can find more details in this ethers github issue.

Also I stumbled upon this thread and apparently as of now ethers js doesn't* support retrieving revert strings

I think I found on interesting code on source : https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/blob/c80fcddf50a9023486e9f9acb1848aba4c19f7b6/packages/providers/src.ts/json-rpc-provider.ts

This is what ethers.js is built for. You'll need a node provider like Alchemy to connect to but once you're set up you can read anything you want from the blockchain.

RainbowKit uses Ethers.js and Wagmi, both popular libraries in this space, under the hood.

This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a front end, deploy a Solidity smart contract, and connect them together. We will use Metamask, Remix IDE and Ethers.js.
