Ten Connection Plugin

This is the Ten protocol connection plugin for Hardhat, written in typescript. The plugin will automatically join and authenticate all accounts with Ten via the Ten Gateway, and thus these operations do not need to be performed manually prior to running. For more information on joining and authenticating against Ten see the user documentation to set up your wallet.

Setup

To use the plugin you can run the following command:

npm install ten-hardhat-plugin

Note that the plugin has minimum requirements for the hardhat peer dependency version as older versions do not have the ability to override the web3 provider. Once the dependency is installed you can just import it with:

import 'ten-hardhat-plugin'

This will add new options to the network config and run the plugin on startup to join and authenticate whenever the target network is Ten. Note that the plugin scans the URL automatically to determine if the network is Ten. If you want to stop this behaviour you should set the config parameter useGateway to False. If you want to force it to assume the network is Ten (e.g. when running against a local testnet), you should set useGateway to True. An example config is given below;

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("ten-hardhat-plugin")

const { PK } = process.env;

module.exports = {
  solidity:  "0.8.19",
  defaultNetwork: "ten",
  networks: {
  ten: {
    deploy: [ "scripts/" ],
    chainId: 443,
    url: `https://testnet.ten.xyz/v1/`,
    accounts: [ `0x${PK}` ]   
   }
}

Note in this instance useGateway does not need to be supplied as the plugin will scan the URL and determine you are connecting to Ten.

Installation

To start working on your project, just run

npm install

Testing the plugin during local development

First compile the plugin's typescript:

npm run build

And then go to the dist folder and create an npm sym link:

cd ./dist
npm link

Then in your project where you want to import the dev version of the plugin do:

npm link ../path/to/plugin/folder
