Smart contract built with hardhat on Polygon network

What is Polygon?

Polygon is a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks.
Aggregating scalable solutions on Ethereum supporting a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.
Polygon solves pain points associated with Blockchains, like high gas fees and slow speeds, without sacrificing security.

What is Hardhat?

Hardhat is a development environment to compile, deploy, test, and debug your Ethereum software.
It helps developers manage and automate the recurring tasks that are inherent to the process of building smart contracts and dApps, as well as easily introducing more functionality around this workflow. This means compiling, running, and testing smart contracts at the very core.

Hardhat comes built-in with Hardhat Network, a local Ethereum network designed for development. Its functionality focuses around Solidity debugging, featuring stack traces, console.log(), and explicit error messages when transactions fail.

Hardhat Runner, the CLI command to interact with Hardhat, is an extensible task runner. It's designed around the concepts of tasks and plugins. Every time you're running Hardhat from the CLI you're running a task. E.g. npx hardhat compile is running the built-in compile task. Tasks can call other tasks, allowing complex workflows to be defined. Users and plugins can override existing tasks, making those workflows customizable and extendable.

A lot of Hardhat's functionality comes from plugins, and, as a developer, you're free to choose which ones you want to use. Hardhat is unopinionated in terms of what tools you end up using, but it does come with some built-in defaults. All of which can be overridden.

Setting up Metamask for Polygon (Matic Network)

From client-side the wallet itself can act as a bridge to connect the particular blockchains, but if you want to connect your application to blockchain from server-side, rpc provider is required. there are may providers including the block explorers themselves. You can get free provider like infura. create project id and get api key. If infura doesn't work you can get their free RPC providers

This is the site for setting testnet and mainet

Get Test matic tokens

The account from which smart contract is to be deployed should be funded with matic tokens first. You can buy matic tokens from any exchanges for mainnet , but for testnet test tokens can be accessed from faucet. Select matic token and mumbai testnet paste your account address hit submit button and confirm transaction that's it.

👉 mumbai testnet faucet link

👉 Get private key

Get the private key of the account in which you have some matic tokens are available, both for mainnet and testnet.

hardhat.config.js

require('@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers');

module.exports = {
  solidity: {
    version: '0.8.2',
    settings: {
      optimizer: {
        enabled: true,
        runs: 200,

      accounts: ['METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY`],
    },
  },
};

deploy.js

async function main() {
  const [deployer] = await ethers.getSigners();
  const TOR = await ethers.getContractFactory('SmartContracts');

  // Start deployment, returning a promise that resolves to a contract object
  const tor = await TOR.deploy();
  console.log('Contract deployed to address:', tor.address);
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

smartContract.sol

pragma solidity >=0.7.0 <0.9.0;

contract SmartContracts {
    struct SmartContract {
        address Address;
        bytes32 MappingHash;
        uint blockNumber;
        bool exists;
    }
    
    mapping(bytes32 => SmartContract) public SmartContracts;

    function mintHashFile(address Address, bytes32 MappingHash) external {
        require(!SmartContracts[MappingHash].exists);
        SmartContracts[MappingHash] = SmartContract(Address, MappingHash, block.number, true);
    }
}
 

In my case, I needed to mint some hash value in the smart contract
This mintHashFile function is not used in the stage of issuing the smart contract now and will be called from Node.js later when we need

👉 here is another cases of solidity code bt example

Compile Contract

npx hardhat compile

Deploy

 npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network matic

The contract address will be printed on terminal.
