Overview

Chinstrap is a development environment, testing framework, and asset pipeline focused solely on Tezos blockchain, aiming to become Swiss-Army-Knife for Tezos Smart Contract developers.

Chinstrap makes developers' lives easier by providing support for multiple contract compilations, tests, and origination on many public and private Tezos networks.

Features

Chinstrap offers:

• End-to-end build cycle support for Creation, Compilation, Testing, and Origination of Smart Contracts
• Local sandbox environment to develop and test contracts
• Support for contracts in SmartPy, JsLIGO, CameLIGO, PascaLIGO, and ReasonLIGO.
• Support for tests in Python(SmartPy/PyTest), JsLIGO, CameLIGO, PascaLIGO, and ReasonLIGO.
• Scriptable deployment & originations framework
• Originations Management for deploying to many public & private networks
• Interactive debug console to debug and directly communicate with contracts

Why?

Here are some reasons why I built Chinstrap:

• Development framework that solely focuses on Tezos Smart Contract development
• Easy to use and everything in place already.
• Designed focused solely to support writing contracts in SmartPy, JsLIGO, CameLIGO, PascaLIGO and ReasonLIGO.
• Extendable
• Tests can also be programmed in Ligo, Python(SmartPy/PyTest) and JsLIGO, CameLIGO, PascaLIGO and ReasonLIGO.
• Easy maintenance

Getting started

Requirements

• Python >= 3.7
• Docker
• Node.js
• Homebrew needs to be installed.

$ brew tap cuber/homebrew-libsecp256k1
$ brew install libsodium libsecp256k1 gmp

Quickstart

To compile the smart contracts:

$ chinstrap compile

For Flextesa sandbox:

╭─ant4g0nist@d3n ~/Desktop/Tezos/chinstrap
╰─➤  chinstrap sandbox -h

                                     |_|

usage: main.py [-h]
               {init,config,networks,compile,install,create,templates,test,sandbox,develop,originate,account}
               ...

positional arguments:
  {init,config,networks,compile,install,create,templates,test,sandbox,develop,originate,account}
    init                Initialize a new Chinstrap project
    config              Verify Chinstrap configuration
    networks            List currently available test networks
    compile             Compile contract source files
    install             Helper to install compilers
    create              Helper to create new contracts, originations and tests
    templates           Download templates provided by SmartPy and *LIGO
    test                Run pytest/smartpy/ligo tests
    sandbox             Start a Tezos local sandbox
    develop             Open a console with a local Flextesa development
                        environment
    originate           Run originations and deploy contracts
    account             Tezos account

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

To download template contracts provided Smartpy or LIGO Lang:

usage: main.py templates [-h] -l
                         {JsLIGO,PascaLIGO,CameLIGO,ReasonLIGO,SmartPy}

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l {JsLIGO,PascaLIGO,CameLIGO,ReasonLIGO,SmartPy}, --language {JsLIGO,PascaLIGO,CameLIGO,ReasonLIGO,SmartPy}
                        The type of the item to create

To run tests:

╭─ant4g0nist@d3n ~/Desktop/Tezos/chinstrap
╰─➤  chinstrap test

To check configuration:
