@taqueria/plugin-archetype
The Archetype plugin provides a task to compile Archetype smart contracts (.arl) to Michelson .tz files
Requirements
- Taqueria v0.26.0 or later
- Node.js v16.16 or later. (v17.x.x or later is not supported)
- Docker v20.10.12 or later
Installation
To install the Archetype plugin on a Taqueria project, navigate to the project folder and run:
taq install @taqueria/plugin-archetype
You can override the Archetype version used by the plugin by creating the environment variable TAQ_ARCHETYPE_IMAGE and setting it to your desired Ligo Docker image
Configuration
No additional configuration is available
Usage
The Archetype plugin exposes a taq compile task in Taqueria which can target a single Archetype contract in the contracts folder and compile it to a Michelson .tz file output to the artifacts folder
The Archetype plugin also exposes a contract template via the taq create archetypeContract <contractName> task. This task will create a new Archetype contract in the contracts directory and insert archetype contract boilerplate for you
Running the Compile Task
The Archetype plugin's taq compile task requires at least one argument. The basic syntax for the task is taq compile <contractName>
Running the compile task with no arguments will result in no Archetype smart contracts being compiled to Michelson files in the artifacts folder
The compile task is implemented by more than one compiler plugin (Archetype, LIGO, SmartPy). If more than one of these plugins are installed on a project, you need to use the --plugin archetype flag to specify the particular Archetype compiler. For example taq compile --plugin archetype
Options
There are no additional options available for this plugin
Tasks
The taq compile Task
The compile task is used for compiling Archetype smart contracts to Michelson and the task has the following structure:
taq compile <contractName>
The task takes a filename as a required argument. If no filename is provided, Taqueria will compile no Archetype files from the contracts directory
Task Properties
| attribute | value |
|---|---|
| task | 'compile' |
| command | 'compile < contractName >' |
| aliases | ['c', 'compile-archetype'] |
The create archetypeContract Task
The create archetypeContract task is used to create a new Archetype contract from a template. Running this task will create a new Archetype smart contract in the contracts directory
taq create archetypeContract <contractName>
The task takes a filename and a required positional argument. The filename must end with .arl
Task Properties
| attribute | value |
|---|---|
| task | 'create archetypeContract' |
| command | 'create archetypeContract < contractName >' |
Plugin Architecture
This is a plugin developed for Taqueria built on NodeJS using the Taqueria Node SDK and distributed via NPM
Docker is used under the hood to provide a self contained environment for Archetype to prevent the need for it to be installed on the user's local machine
