An interactive Solidity shell with lightweight session recording and remote compiler support.

_{note: requires npm install -g ganache-cli unless it is already installed :)}

Oh, did you know that we automatically fetch a matching remote compiler when you change the solidity pragma? It is as easy as typing pragma solidity 0.5.0 and solidity-shell will do the rest 🙌.

• pragma solidity <version> attempts to dynamically load the selected compiler version (remote compiler, may take a couple of seconds).
• use { <statement>; } to ignore a calls return value.
• Sessions can be saved and restored using the .session command. Your previous session is always stored and can be loaded via .session load previous (not safe when running concurrent shells).
• .reset completely removes all statements. .undo removes the last statement.
• See what's been generated under the hood? call .dump.
• Settings are saved on exit (not safe when running concurrent shells). call config set <key> <value> to change settings like ganache port, ganache autostart, etc.
• $_ is a placeholder for the last known result. Feel free to use that placeholder in your scripts :)
• Special commands are dot-prefixed. Everything else is evaluated as Solidity code.
• import "<path>" assumes that path is relative to the current working-dir (CWD) or {CWD}/node_modules/. There's experimental support for HTTPs URL's. You can disable https resolving by setting » .config set resolveHttpImports false.

Any arguments provided after an empty -- are directly passed to ganacheCmd (default: ganache-cli). This way, for example, you can start a solidity shell on a ganache fork of mainnet via infura. Check ganache-cli --help for a list of available options.

📚 Help:
   -----

 $_ is a placeholder holding the most recent evaluation result.


 General:
    .help                                ... this help :)
    .exit                                ... exit the shell

 Settings:
    .config                              ... show settings
            set <key> <value>            ... set setting
            unset <key>                  ... unset setting
 Session:
    .session                             ... list sessions
            load <id>                    ... load session
            save <id>                    ... save session
            
    .undo                                ... undo last command
    .reset                               ... reset cmd history. start from scratch.

 Debug::
    .proc                                ... show processes managed by solidity-shell (ganache)
    .dump                                ... show template contract
    .echo                                ... every shell needs an echo command
