Development

This plugin fetches configuration data from a testchain backend, and creates a config object to be provided to the Maker SDK so it can be used with a testchain. Add it to the end of the plugins array to ensure the options override the default config.

see Dai.js for more details

Example using the Maker SDK

import Maker from '@makerdao/dai';
import configPlugin from '@makerdao/dai-plugin-config';

const config = {
    plugins: [
        [configPlugin, { testchainId: '123abc', backendEnv: 'dev' }]
        ],
    log: false
  };

await Maker.create('http', config);

Details

testchainId: Must be a running testchain ID on the selected backend environment.

backendEnv: (optional) defaults to the 'prod' URL, which is http://18.185.172.121:4000/chain/. Options are prod, dev, or any user-specified URL.

In the beforeCreate block, the plugin will fetch testchain data from the URL. This includes the testchain RPC, all the deployed contracts, and required tokens. It will create a config object that looks like this:

config = {
        url: rpc_url,
        provider: {
          type: 'HTTP',
          network: chainConfig.type
        },
        smartContract: { addContracts },
        token: { erc20 }
      };

Code Style

We run Prettier on-commit, which means you can write code in whatever style you want and it will be automatically formatted according to the common style when you run git commit.

Publishing

To publish this package, simply run:

yarn publish

This will prompt for a new version, create a new commit and tag for that version, automatically build the project and then publish the package to npm.

Don't forget to use git push --tags to push the commit with the new version along with the new tag pointing to it.
