Using Hardhat

What you will do​

• Set up Hardhat

• Create a simple smart contract

• Compile contract

• Test contract

• Deploy contract

Pre-requisites​

There are a few technical requirements before we start, as listed below:

• Node.js v10+ LTS and npm (comes with Node)

• Git

Once we have those installed, you need to create an npm project by going to an empty folder, running npm init --yes, and following its instructions to install Hardhat. Once your project is ready, you should run the following:

npm install --save-dev hardhat

To create your Hardhat project, run npx hardhat in your project folder. Let’s create the sample project and follow these steps to try out a sample task and compile, test, and deploy the sample contract.
