NomicFoundationhardhat-ignition-ethers
This plugin integrates Hardhat Ignition with ethers.js.
Installation
This plugin is part of the Ethers+Mocha Hardhat Toolbox. If you are using that toolbox, there's nothing else you need to do.
To install this plugin, run the following command:
npm install --save-dev @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition-ethersIn your hardhat.config.ts file, import the plugin and add it to the plugins array:
import { defineConfig } from "hardhat/config";
import hardhatIgnitionEthers from "@nomicfoundation/hardhat-ignition-ethers";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [hardhatIgnitionEthers],
});Usage
This plugin adds an ignition property to each network connection:
import { network } from "hardhat";
import Counter from "../ignition/modules/Counter.js";
const { ignition } = await network.connect();
const { counter } = await ignition.deploy(Counter);
await counter.inc();
console.log(await counter.x());The ignition object has a deploy method that can be used to deploy Ignition modules. This returns an ethers contract instance for each contract returned by the module.
