Welcome to the Deployer documentation! Deployer is a tool for compiling and deploying Solidity smart contracts with ease.
It serves a similar purpose as parts of the Truffle framework, but with the UNIX philosophy in mind: Make each program do one thing well. This tool is for intermediate to advanced Solidity developers that require greater configurability and reliability.
Deployer has the following advantages over Truffle:
- Deploy each smart contract with a specific version of Solidity.
- Improved artifact files:
- Properly segregated artifacts to support storing different versions of smart contract deployed on different networks.
- Storage of constructor args, source maps and paths to all requisite source files.
- An easy to maintain codebase: TypeScript + Single repo.
- Allows you to specify the deployer RPC address.
- Supports Solidity version ranges - contract compiled with latest Solidity version that satisfies the range.
- Migrations that work with
async/await. - Migrations that can be written synchronously in order to guarentee deterministic contract addresses.
- No race conditions when running migrations.
Deployer can be used as a command-line tool or as an imported module.
