Command Palette
This extension provides several commands for interacting with ledgers, building, compiling and testing your smart contracts. These features are enabled through the Command Palette and/or through several "right-click" shortcut menus.
To access the Command Palette, you may choose View, Command Palette from the VS Code menu, or ctrl+shift+p
Commands¶
| Command Name | Description |
|---|---|
Truffle: Build Contracts | Build/compile all contracts in the contracts directory |
Truffle: Deploy Contracts | Allows a developer to deploy a smart contract to local (Ganache), or a public Ethereum network |
Truffle: New Solidity Project | This command will scaffold out a basic (default) Smart Contract folder structure. Includes simple contract (.sol), Truffle Migrate/config files and GitHub readiness (e.g., README etc). Optionally a developer can choose to unbox a Truffle box to get access to specific examples hosted by Truffle |
Truffle: Start Ganache Server | This command will start a local Ethereum emulator - Truffle's Ganache command line server (Ganache-cli). This server allows developers to deploy contracts to a local network which emulates a public blockchain node |
Truffle: Stop Ganache Server | This command will stop the local Ganache, Ethereum, emulator |
Truffle: Show Welcome Page | Will open the projects default Welcome Page which has simple examples and links to online-resources specific to this plugin. |
Right Click Shortcuts¶
| Command Name | Context | Description |
|---|---|---|
Copy Access Key | right click on your Blockchain Service Node | Inserts the access key for your node into the copy/paste buffer |
Copy Contract ABI | right click on contract .json | After compiling, right clicking on the contract, or the contract .json file will copy the contract ABI into your copy/paste buffer |
Copy Contract Bytecode | right click on contract .json | After compiling, right clicking on the contract, or the contract .json file will copy the contract Bytecode into your copy/paste buffer |
Copy RPC Endpoint Address | right click on your Node | Inserts the RPC endpoint address for your node into the copy/paste buffer |
Deploy Contracts | right click on your contract .sol or contract .json (after building) | Deploys your contract to the selected destination (local, test/main-net) |
