Redspot is named after Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which is also the largest DOT in the solar system. Redspot's target project is Truffle in Truffle Suite. Redspot is a development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for pallet-contracts. Redspot is trying to let the development of ink! be projectized and simplify the testing and interacting with contracts.

We think Redspot needs to be a flexible system for the reason that pallet-contracts would be integrated to any substrate chain with some partial modification. Thus we decide using hardhat as Redspot core architecture for it has an outstanding design to allow developer using plugins to add new features.

Therefore, we establish our project on the hardhat core framework and modify it a lot to suit substrate under MIT licence. In future, Redspot would build more features based on this forked hardhat core.

This project is used for contracts developer, if developers want to deploy and test on a blockchain, we advice developer to use "jupiter" blockchain, which is a open testnet for substrate pallet-contracts. Better than that, jupiter also provide a develop type node, that could very easily for testing contracts.

0. The node version should be 14
1. First you need to install the dependencies in the redspot root directory yarn
2. Compile the code yarn build
3. Go to the examples directory, e.g. cd examples/erc20
4. Install the dependencies in the current directory yarn
5. In the examples/erc20 directory, you can invoke the redspot commands normally. For example: npx redspot compile

This project is forked from hardhat, and just base on the hardhat-core part then modify it under MIT license. (not include Hardhat Network, "sample-project/" and others which is under NOMIC LABS DEVELOPER LICENSE AGREEMENT and Unlicense, more details refer to hardhat LICENSE)

And Redspot would also be distributed under MIT license.
