Abiniser

Truffle post processor to generate and maintain ABI and deployments files for FE use. Abiniser aims to address the shortcoming of truffle-contract json format which can't handle multiple deployments of same contract source file and can't manage multiple ABI versions.

Abiniser works on files generated by truffle and its output keeps track of abi version and deployments on different networks.

Abineser's abi and deployment files output is intended to be added to repository so it can be used by front end code.

It's an alpha implementation, being tested on Augmint projects. Expect breaking changes (e.g. output format changes) even with minor version bumps.

Usage

Install

$ npm -g install abiniser

Workflow

Each time your abis changed or a new deployment (to any network) done abiniser should be run. It will automatically create new abi file version (based on abi hash) and will add new entries to deployment files. These can be safely checked in

TODO: more description on the workflow

Run

$ abiniser -h

Usage: abiniser [options] [command]

Truffle post processor to generate ABI and deployment repository files

Options:
  -V, --version                            output the version number
  -h, --help                               output usage information

Commands:
  generate|gen [options]                   Generate deployment and abi files from Truffle generated JSON files
  removeSourceEntries|removeSrc [options]  remove source entries from all deployment files
  check [options]                          Basic integrity check of files generated. Checks references between Abi files and deployment files

  More info: https://github.com/Augmint/abiniser

  Examples:
      abiniser generate
        Creates abi and deployments jsons from all truffle contract json files listed in abiniser.json config file

###Generate deploy and abi files

$abiniser generate -h
Usage: generate|gen [options]

Generate deployment and abi files from Truffle generated JSON files

Options:
  -c, --config-file [value]             Sets abiniser config file. (default: "./abiniser.json")
  -a, --abi-output-dir [value]          Sets abi output directory. (default: "./abiniser/abis")
  -d, --deployments-output-dir [value]  Sets deployments output directory. (default: "./abiniser/deployments")
  -n, --network-id [value]              Generate deployments file only for the given network id number
  -i, --input-dir [value]               Sets input directory with truffle contract json files. (default: "./build/contracts")
  -r, --regenerate                      Regenerate abi and deploy files even if they exists with same abi hash
  -s, --source-include                  Include contract source in generated deploy file
  -h, --help                            output usage information

Create abiniser.json file with the list of contract files to work on:

{
    "truffleContractFiles": ["Contract1.json", "Contract2.json"]
}

You can set command line options in abiniser.json too.

Output format

Abi files

One file per contract and abi version is generated:

abiniser/abis/<Contract Name>_<Abi version hash>.json

Each file contains the contract's Abi in Solidity ABI JSON format.

Deployment files

abiniser/deployments/<Network Id>/<Contract Name>_DEPLOYS.json files:

{
    "contractName": "<contract name>",
    "latestAbiHash": "7fde219f…",
    "deployedAbis": {
        "7fde219f…": {
            "latestDeployedAddress": "7fde219f…",
            "deployments": {
                "7fde219f…": {
                    "generatedAt": "<ISO86901 timestamp>",
                    "truffleContractFileUpdatedAt": "<ISO86901 timestamp when source truffle contracts json was generated>",
                    "deployTransactionHash": "0x12…",
                    "compiler": {
                        "name": "solc",
                        "version": "0.4.23"
                    },
                    "sourceHash": "7fde219f…",
                    "bytecodeHash": "a454e8ba…",
                    "deployedBytecodeHash": "55abcee…",
                    "source": "<source code from truffle contract json>"
                }
                "0xab444b...": {…}
            }
        },

        "a454e8ba… ": {
            "latestDeployedAddress": "a9de219f…",
            "deployments": {…}
        }
    }
}

Maintenance features
