# ResContract CLI 🚀

The **ResContract CLI** is a command-line tool for creating, deploying, and managing smart contracts within the ResilientDB ecosystem. It provides a streamlined interface for developers and students to interact with smart contracts efficiently.

## Features ✨

- **Create Smart Contracts**: Generate new smart contract templates.
- **Compile Contracts**: Compile Solidity contracts to JSON.
- **Deploy Smart Contracts**: Deploy contracts to the blockchain.
- **Execute Functions**: Interact with and manage deployed contracts.

## Prerequisites

Before installing and using the ResContract CLI, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

- **Node.js (version >= 14)**: [Download and install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
- **npm**: Comes with Node.js. Ensure it's up-to-date.
- **Solidity Compiler (`solc`)**: Required to compile smart contracts.

### Installing `solc`

#### Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y solc
```

#### macOS
```bash
brew update
brew upgrade
brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install solidity
```

## Installation 🛠️

Install the ResContract CLI globally using npm:

```bash
npm install -g rescontract-cli
````

## Configuration ⚙️

### Setting the ResDB_Home Variable

Before using the ResContract CLI, you **must** set the `ResDB_Home` environment variable or provide the path to your ResilientDB installation in a `config.yaml` file. The CLI will **not** prompt you for this path and will exit with an error if it's not set.

#### Option 1: Set `ResDB_Home` Environment Variable

Set the `ResDB_Home` environment variable to point to the directory where ResilientDB is installed.

**Linux/macOS:**
```bash
export ResDB_Home=/path/to/resilientdb
```

Add the above line to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file to make it persistent.

#### Option 2: Use a `config.yaml` File

Update the `config.yaml` file in the same directory where you run the `rescontract` command or in your home directory.

**Example `config.yaml`:**
```yaml
ResDB_Home: /path/to/resilientdb
```

Ensure the `ResDB_Home` path is correct.

> **Note:** The CLI checks for `config.yaml` in the current directory first, then in your home directory.

## Usage

After installation, you can use the `rescontract` command in your terminal.

```bash
rescontract [options]
```

### Commands

#### create Command

Initializes a new account using ResilientDB's smart contract tools.

**Usage:**
```bash
rescontract create --config
```
- `--config, -c`: Path to the configuration file.

**Example:**

```bash
rescontract create --config ~/resilientdb/config/service.config
```

#### compile Command

Compiles a Solidity smart contract into a JSON file using `solc`.

**Usage:**
```bash
rescontract compile --sol --output
```

- `--sol, -s`: Path to the Solidity smart contract file.
- `--output, -o`: Name of the resulting JSON file.

**Example:**

```bash
rescontract compile --sol contracts/MyToken.sol --output build/MyToken.json
```

#### deploy Command

Deploys the smart contract to the blockchain.

**Usage:**

```bash
rescontract deploy --config --contract \
--name --arguments "" --owner


```

- `--config, -c`: Client configuration path.
- `--contract, -p`: Path to the contract JSON file.
- `--name, -n`: Name of the contract.
- `--arguments, -a`: Parameters to create the contract object (enclosed in quotes).
- `--owner, -m`: Contract owner's address.

**Example:**

```bash
rescontract deploy --config ~/resilientdb/config/service.config \
--contract build/MyToken.json --name MyToken \
--arguments "1000000" --owner 0xYourAddress
```

#### execute Command

Executes a smart contract function.

**Usage:**

```bash
rescontract execute --config --sender \
--contract --function-name --arguments ""
```

- `--config, -c`: Path to the client configuration file.
- `--sender, -m`: Address of the sender executing the function.
- `--contract, -s`: Address of the deployed contract.
- `--function-name, -f`: Name of the function to execute (include parameter types).
- `--arguments, -a`: Arguments to pass to the function (enclosed in quotes).

**Example:**
```bash
rescontract execute --config ~/resilientdb/config/service.config \
--sender 0xYourAddress --contract 0xContractAddress \
--function-name "transfer(address,uint256)" \
--arguments "0xRecipientAddress,100"
```
