Shipyard

Shipyard is a Forge template for smart contract development. See the tutorial for detailed instructions on using Shipyard or jump down to the usage section below for more info on how it works.

Overview

Shipyard comes with some batteries included

• OpenZeppelin, Solady, and Shipyard-core smart contracts as dependencies, ready with solc remappings so you can jump into writing your own contracts right away
• forge fmt configured as the default formatter for VSCode projects
• Github Actions workflows that run forge fmt --check and forge test on every push and PR
  • A separate action to automatically fix formatting issues on PRs by commenting !fix on the PR
• A pre-configured, but still minimal foundry.toml
  • high optimizer settings by default for gas-efficient smart contracts
  • an explicit solc compiler version for reproducible builds
  • no extra injected solc metadata for simpler Etherscan verification and deterministic cross-chain deploys via CREATE2.
  • a separate build profile for CI with increased fuzz runs for quicker local iteration, while still ensuring your contracts are well-tested

Usage

Shipyard can be used as a starting point or a toolkit in a wide variety of circumstances. In general, if you're building something NFT related, you're likely to find something useful here. For the sake of exploring some of what Shipyard has to offer in concrete terms, here's a guide on how to deploy an NFT contract.

Quick Deploy Guide

To deploy an NFT contract to the Goerli testnet, fund an address with 0.1 Goerli ETH, open a terminal window, and run the following commands:

Create a directory and cd into it:

mkdir my-shipyard-based-project &&
cd my-shipyard-based-project

Install the foundryup up command and run it, which in turn installs forge, cast, anvil, and chisel:

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash

Follow the onscreen instructions output by the previous command to make Foundryup available in your CLI (or else restart your CLI).

Install forge, cast, anvil, and chisel by running:

foundryup

Create a new Foundry project based on Shipyard, which also initializes a new git repository, in the working directory.

forge init --template projectopensea/shipyard

Install dependencies and compile the contracts:

forge build

Set up your environment variables (make sure to swap in the appropriate value for <your_pk>):

export GOERLI_RPC_URL='https://eth-goerli.g.alchemy.com/v2/demo' &&
export MY_ACTUAL_PK_BE_CAREFUL='<your_pk>'

Run the script that deploys the example contract and mints an NFT:

forge script script/DeployAndMint.s.sol --private-key \
    $MY_ACTUAL_PK_BE_CAREFUL --fork-url $GOERLI_RPC_URL --broadcast

Verify the contract on Etherscan:

forge verify-contract <the_target_contract> Dockmaster --watch \ 
    --constructor-args $(cast abi-encode "constructor(string,string,address)" \ 
    "Dockmaster NFT" "DM" "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000") --chain 5

Running this command merely deploys the unchanged example NFT contract to a testnet, but it's a good way to check for a properly functioning dev environment.

See the tutorial for more detail on modifying the example contract, writing tests, deploying, and more.

Reinitialize Submodules

When working across branches with different dependencies, submodules may need to be reinitialized. Run

./reinit-submodules

Coverage Reports

If you plan on generating coverage reports, you'll need to install lcov as well.

On macOS, you can do this with the following command:

brew install lcov

To generate reports, run

./coverage-report
