Deploy a Smart Contract local on Anvil with Foundry in 2 min
🚀 In today's quick tutorial, I'll show you how to deploy a smart contract using Foundry's forge CLI - all in just 2 minutes! This video is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their Foundry skills in a short, digestible format. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, these steps will guide you through the process seamlessly.
👇 Steps to Follow:
Initialize Foundry: Start by setting up your environment with forge init.
Existing Git Projects: For already initialized Git projects, use forge init —no-commit.
Start Anvil: Open your code editor's terminal and type anvil.
Prepare Your Workspace: Clear the src, script, and test directories.
Add Your Contract: Place your smart contract in the src folder. (I'm using the EtherWallet contract from Solidity by Example.)
Build Your Contract: In a new terminal, run forge build to compile your contract.
Deploy with Forge: Execute forge create CONTRACTNAME —interactive to deploy.
Use Anvil's Private Key: Copy a private key from the Anvil terminal and paste it into the deployment terminal.
Deployment Complete: Your contract is now deployed to Anvil!
Note on Anvil: Forge create defaults to Anvil if it's running; otherwise, you'll encounter an error.
