titanoboa 0.1.6

Experimental Vyper interpreter

Titanoboa

An experimental Vyper interpreter

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/vyperlang/titanoboa

If you are installing titanoboa from git alongside brownie, you may have to manually install titanoboa after installing brownie

pip install brownie
pip install git+https://github.com/vyperlang/titanoboa

To get a performance boost for mainnet forking, install with the forking-recommended extra (pip install "git+https://github.com/vyperlang/titanoboa#egg=titanoboa[forking-recommended]", or pip install titanoboa[forking-recommended]). This installs plyvel to cache RPC results between sessions, and ujson which improves json performance.

If you are running titanoboa on a local Vyper project folder, you might need to run python setup.py install on your Vyper project if you encounter errors such as ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vyper.version'

Background

Titanoboa (/tiˌtɑːnoʊˈboʊə/) is an extinct genus of very large snakes that lived in what is now La Guajira in northeastern Colombia. They could grow up to 12.8 m (42 ft), perhaps even 14.3 m (47 ft) long and reach a weight of 1,135 kg (2,500 lb). This snake lived during the Middle to Late Paleocene epoch, around 60 to 58 million years ago following the extinction of the dinosaurs. Although originally thought to be an apex predator, the discovery of skull bones revealed that it was more than likely specialized in preying on fish. The only known species is Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the largest snake ever discovered,[1] which supplanted the previous record holder, Gigantophis garstini.[2]

Usage

Hello, world

import boa
boa.eval("empty(uint256)")

Basic

# simple.vy
@external
def foo() -> uint256:
    x: uint256 = 1
    return x + 7

>>> import boa

>>> simple = boa.load("examples/simple.vy")
>>> simple.foo()
    8
>>> simple.foo()._vyper_type
    uint256

Passing __init__

>>> import boa

>>> erc20 = boa.load("examples/ERC20.vy", 'titanoboa', 'boa', 18, 1)
>>> erc20.name()
    titanoboa
>>> erc20.symbol()
    boa
>>> erc20.balanceOf(erc20.address)
    0
>>> erc20.totalSupply()
    1000000000000000000

As a blueprint

>>> import boa
>>> s = boa.load_partial("examples/ERC20.vy")
>>> blueprint = s.deploy_as_blueprint()
>>> deployer = boa.load("examples/deployer.vy", blueprint)
>>> token = s.at(deployer.create_new_erc20("token", "TKN", 18, 10**18))
>>> token.totalSupply()
>>> 1000000000000000000000000000000000000

Expecting BoaErrors

>>> import boa
>>> erc20 = boa.load("examples/ERC20.vy", "titanoboa", "boa", 18, 0)
>>> with boa.env.prank(boa.env.generate_address()):
...     with boa.reverts():
...         erc20.mint(boa.env.eoa, 100)  # non-minter cannot mint
...
>>> with boa.env.prank(boa.env.generate_address()):
...     # you can be more specific about the failure reason
...     with boa.reverts(rekt="non-minter tried to mint"):
...         erc20.mint(boa.env.eoa, 100)

From within IPython

In [1]: %load_ext boa.ipython
        import boa
        boa.interpret.set_cache_dir()  # cache source compilations across sessions

In [2]: %vyper msg.sender  # evaluate a vyper expression directly
Out[2]: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000065'

Evaluating arbitrary code

>>> erc20 = boa.load("examples/ERC20.vy", 'titanoboa', 'boa', 18, 1)
>>> erc20.balanceOf(erc20.address)
    0
>>> erc20.totalSupply()
    1000000000000000000
>>> erc20.eval("self.totalSupply += 10")  # manually mess with total supply
>>> erc20.totalSupply()
1000000000000000010
>>> erc20.eval("self.totalSupply")  # same result when eval'ed
1000000000000000010
>>> erc20.eval("self.balanceOf[msg.sender] += 101")  # manually mess with balance
>>> erc20.balanceOf(boa.env.eoa)
1000000000000000101
>>> erc20.eval("self.balanceOf[msg.sender]")  # same result when eval'ed
1000000000000000101

Note that in eval() mode, titanoboa uses slightly different optimization settings, so gas usage may not be the same as using the external interface.

Forking

Create a fork of mainnet given rpc.

In [1]: import boa; boa.env.fork(url="<rpc server address>")

In [2]: %load_ext boa.ipython

In [3]: %%vyper Test
   ...: interface HasName:
   ...:     def name() -> String[32]: view
   ...: 
   ...: @external
   ...: def get_name_of(addr: HasName) -> String[32]:
   ...:     return addr.name()
Out[3]: <boa.contract.VyperDeployer at 0x7f3496187190>

In [4]: c = Test.deploy()

In [5]: c.get_name_of("0xD533a949740bb3306d119CC777fa900bA034cd52")
Out[5]: 'Curve DAO Token'

Cast current deployed addresses to vyper contract

>>> import boa; boa.env.fork(url="<rpc server address>")
>>> c = boa.load_partial("examples/ERC20.vy").at("0xD533a949740bb3306d119CC777fa900bA034cd52")
>>> c.name()
    'Curve DAO Token'

basic tests:

$ python -m tests.sim_veYFI
