solidity-template VS useful-solidity-patterns

New updates to solidity-template are available! This template now supports more networks than ever. And for the first time, streamlined contract development to zk rollup L2s are possible!

Awesome to see a mention of solidity-template here! Check out the thread for more info.

This template includes an easy-to-follow example Counter.sol, with its interface ICounter.sol, Unit Test file Counter.t.sol, and Integration Test file counter.test.ts.

Reference for on-chain developers writing contracts that call these contracts in your Unit Test files to see the expected usage in Solidity.

solidity-template's sample contract, Counter.sol, is trivial, so the value add isn't observable here. Let me share a recent example where off-chain logic would never be able to be handled inside the Foundry unit tests:

The latter case has already proven to be extremely useful for a new project Git Consensus, where just pushing integration test code gave examples for the frontend devs concurrently to know how they need to prepare input parameters for the contract functions. This will only be more relevant as the community shifts to patterns that encourage loaded input parameters for gas savings.
