Elrond - Command Line Tools and Python SDK for interacting with Smart Contracts.
One can use erdpy to build, test and debug Elrond smart contracts, deploy them on the testnet and interact with contracts by issuing function calls (transactions).
Erdpy also acts as a wrapper over the Elrond REST API.
Make sure that you have installed Python3 (version 3.6 or later) and Pip3 in advance:
python3 --version
pip3 --version
Then issue the following command:
pip3 install --user --upgrade --no-cache-dir erdpy
Test installation as follows:
pip3 show erdpy
erdpy --version
If erdpy
command is not found (not registered correctly), issue the command:
source ~/.profile
If you encounter encoding-related issues at installation time, such as:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte
Then please set PYTHONIOENCODING
before running the install command:
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 pip3 install --user --upgrade --no-cache-dir erdpy
Make sure that you have installed Python3 (version 3.6 or later) and Pip3 in advance:
python3 --version
pip3 --version
Add this line to ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.zshrc
(if you’re using zsh) before installing the package (make sure to replace the placeholders below):
export PATH=/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Python/YOUR_PYTHON_VERSION/bin:${PATH}
For example:
export PATH=/Users/elrond/Library/Python/3.7/bin:${PATH}
Then issue the following command:
pip3 install --user --upgrade --no-cache-dir erdpy
Test installation as follows:
pip3 show erdpy
erdpy --version
Display the list of project templates (smart contracts templates):
$ erdpy templates
$ erdpy templates --json
These templates are downloaded from different sources, as configured in templates_config.py and are written in rust, C or Solidity.
The following command creates a sample project called hello
based on the template ultimate-answer
(written in C):
$ erdpy new --template ultimate-answer --directory ./examples hello
$ erdpy new --template adder --directory ./examples myadder
In order to build a project you only have to specify its directory. Let's build the projects under /example
:
erdpy build ./examples/hello
erdpy build ./examples/myadder
The first one is written in C, while the second in rust. As you can see, the commands are similar.
In order to run JSON unit tests, add the unit tests in the project of the smart contract, in a folder named test
. Then run the following command:
erdpy --verbose test ./examples/hello --wildcard="*"
Deploy a smart contract on the testnet (make sure the contract is built in advance):
erdpy --verbose deploy ./examples/contracts/hello --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --proxy="https://api.elrond.com"
Inspect values stored in the smart contract by performing a call to a pure, getter function:
erdpy --verbose query erd1qqqqqqqqqqqqqpgqde8eqjywyu6zlxjxuxqfg5kgtmn3setxh40qen8egy --function="getUltimateAnswer" --proxy="https://api.elrond.com"
Call a function of an existing smart contract:
erdpy --verbose call erd1qqqqqqqqqqqqqpgqde8eqjywyu6zlxjxuxqfg5kgtmn3setxh40qen8egy --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --function="increment" --proxy="https://api.elrond.com"
Prepare, then send transactions:
erdpy --verbose tx-prepare ./myplayground --tag="foobar" --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --nonce=42 --receiver=erd188nydpkagtpwvfklkl2tn0w6g40zdxkwfgwpjqc2a2m2n7ne9g8q2t22sr --value=100000
erdpy --verbose tx-send ./myplayground/tx-foobar.json --proxy=https://api.elrond.com
erdpy --verbose tx-prepare-and-send --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --receiver=erd188nydpkagtpwvfklkl2tn0w6g40zdxkwfgwpjqc2a2m2n7ne9g8q2t22sr --value=100000 --proxy=https://api.elrond.com
