Introduction to EOSFactory

EOSFactory is a Python-based EOS smart-contract development & testing framework, created by TOKENIKA.

With a single command-line interface you can create a private testnet and then compile, test and deploy EOS smart-contracts.

All of this using simple yet powerful Python3 syntax.

Why it's needed?

Code development and testing involve tasks that need to be executed hundreds of times, and each time in exactly the same way and exactly the same context. Therefore those tasks need to be fully automated, as otherwise a lot of time is being wasted and, what's even worse, a lot of additional uncertainty is introduced. Manually performed actions are prone to errors.

And this is what EOSFactory actually brings to the table: an easy & intuitive way to automate the process of dealing with smart-contracts. Write down, in the form of a Python script, what needs to be done multiple times in exactly the same way and exactly the same context, and then just run the script. EOSFactory will take care of everything else: it will compile your smart-contract, create a new testnet, deploy the contract, invoke its methods and verify the response, then tear down the testnet, and finally report the results. And all of this done in a couple of seconds.

Main features

1. Simple syntax

The front-end of EOSFactory is simply a Python3 Command Line Interface. This way you can interact with EOS smart-contract, and prove it works as expected, instead having to deal with the raw primitives of the EOSIO cleos. In most cases Python syntax is immediately clear for everyone.

2. Real testnet

We can work with a real testnet (both local and remote) and this makes testing reliable. Thus EOSFactory lets you fully test your smart-contract in a couple of seconds and do it over and over again without much hassle.

3. Truly cross-platform

We make sure everything we do is fully compatible with Windows - our toolset enables you to run an EOS node and interact with it on any operating system, including Windows, MacOS and Linux.
