Hardhat plugin usage

=nil; provides an example repository containing a Hardhat project that is already configured to support all essential cluster features.

To install the project:

git clone git@github.com:NilFoundation/nil-hardhat-example.git
cd nil-hardhat-example

Install the project dependencies:

npm install

When inside the project, create an .env file and add the following information inside it:

NIL_RPC_ENDPOINT=NIL_ENDPOINT
WALLET_ADDR=WALLET_ADDR
PRIVATE_KEY=PRIVATE_KEY

The plugin contains an example smart contract that can be deployed immediately:

npx hardhat ignition deploy ./ignition/modules/Incrementer.ts --network nil

After deployment, interact with the contract:

npx hardhat increment --network nil --contract CONTRACT_ADDRESS

Fee credit

The Hardhat plugin has a hardcoded default fee credit that should be enough for most messages. To override this value, specify the feeCredit property in hardhat.config.ts:

feeCredit: 500000
