📖 API
The following variables/functions are exported from this package
CHAINS
The single source of truth for the list of supported chains.
A static array of Chain
objects.
import { CHAINS } from '@phase21/chains';
console.log(CHAINS);
/*
[
{
name: 'Arbitrum testnet',
alias: 'arbitrum-goerli-testnet',
id: '421613',
...
},
...
]
*/
hardhatConfig.networks()
Returns an object where the key is each chain's alias and the value is an object that can be used as the networks
field of hardhat.config.js
.
The default url
values can be overridden with chain specific environment variables. These environment variables take the form of HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_${toUpperSnakeCase(chain.alias)}
. e.g. HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_ARBITRUM_GOERLI_TESTNET
.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@phase21/chains';
console.log(hardhatConfig.networks());
/*
{
"arbitrum-goerli-testnet": {
accounts: { mnemonic: '' },
chainId: '421613',
url: 'https://...',
},
...
}
*/
hardhatConfig.etherscan()
Returns an object where the key is each chain's alias and the value is an object that can be used as the etherscan
field of hardhat.config.js
(requires the hardhat-etherscan
plugin).
NOTE: hardhat-etherscan requires us to use a dummy API key with Blockscout block explorer APIs. We use "DUMMY_VALUE" but it could have been anything else.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@phase21/chains';
console.log(hardhatConfig.etherscan());
/*
{
apiKey: {
'arbitrumGoerli': { ... }
},
customChains: [
...
]
}
*/
hardhatConfig.getEnvVariableNames()
Returns an array of expected environment variable names for chains that have an API key required for the explorer. The array also includes a single MNEMONIC
variable that can be used to configure all networks.
NOTE: Each ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_
and HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_
environment variable has the chain alias as a suffix, where the alias has been converted to upper snake case.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@phase21/chains';
console.log(hardhatConfig.getEnvVariableNames());
/*
[
'MNEMONIC',
'ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_ARBITRUM_GOERLI_TESTNET',
...
'HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_ARBITRUM_GOERLI_TESTNET',
...
]
*/
viemConfig.chains()
Returns an array of chains in the format that Viem expects. Each Chain object can be used to create a Viem public client.
Additional rpcUrls
values can (optionally) be added through the use of environment variables. These environment variables take the form of API3_CHAINS_HTTP_RPC_URL_${toUpperSnakeCase(chain.alias)}
. If a matching environment variable is detected for a given chain, then it will be added to the http
array of the rpcUrls.environment
object. If no matching environment variable is detected, then the http
array is left empty.
import { viemConfig } from '@phase21/chains';
console.log(viemConfig.chains());
/*
[
{
id: 421613,
name: 'arbitrum-goerli-testnet',
network: 'arbitrum-goerli-testnet',
rpcUrls: { default: ..., public: ..., environment: ... }
...
},
...
]
*/
Types
Types are also exported and can be found in src/types.ts
.
Types are generated from zod schemas.
These schemas are also used to validate each chain.
📄 Scripts
The following utility scripts are available
generate:chains
Generates the latest CHAINS
array and outputs the file to src/generated/chains.ts
yarn generate:chains
providers:ping
Iterates through the list of chains to check that the chain is configured correctly and is responsive.
yarn providers:ping
🛠️ Development
The most common type of change would be adding or updating a chain. This can be done by creating or editing the relevant JSON file in the chains/
directory.
If any changes are made to chains, you will need to "regenerate" the chains. This will compile all of the JSON files into a single TypeScript file for projects to import. This can be done with the following command
yarn generate:chains
The list of TypeScript chains is also validated against all of the list of JSON files to ensure that everything is in sync.
NOTE: You will not be able to push changes to chains without having regenerated the TypeScript chains.
Validation
Validations can be run with the following commands.
# Validate each chain JSON file conforms to the zod schemas
yarn validate:chains
# Run all validations
yarn validate
