Testing Smart Contracts using Hardhat (JavaScript)

Hardhat is an Ethereum development environment from Nomic Foundation that can be used for compiling, testing and deploying our Solidity smart contracts. When implementing tests, Hardhat makes use of JavaScript (or TypeScript) scripts as testing instructions. This makes Hardhat one of the most commonly used tools for testing and deploying smart contracts, as many developers already know JavaScript or could easily learn it. Testing is a fundamental step in smart contract development. Due to the...

This can be off putting for Solidity newcomers as there may be an assumption that we need to deploy our contract to something like the Ethereum network, which can be costly, irreversible and daunting to newcomers. Remix can help newcomers overcome the above misconceptions. Remix is a web based IDE that allows us to compile and...
