## Documentation

Extensive documentation and examples are available [here](https://docs.rs/ethers).

Alternatively, you may clone the repository and run `cd ethers/ && cargo doc --open`

You can also run any of the examples by executing: `cargo run -p ethers --example <name>`

## Add ethers-rs to your repository

```toml
[dependencies]

ethers = { git = "https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs" }
```

</details>

## Running the tests

Tests require the following installed:

1. [`solc`](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-solidity.html) (>=0.8.10). We also recommend using [solc-select](https://github.com/crytic/solc-select) for more flexibility.
2. [`anvil`](https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/blob/master/anvil/README.md)
3. [`geth`](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum)

In addition, it is recommended that you set the `ETHERSCAN_API_KEY` environment variable
for [the abigen via Etherscan](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/blob/master/ethers-contract/tests/abigen.rs) tests.
You can get one [here](https://etherscan.io/apis).

### EVM-compatible chains support

There are many chains live which are Ethereum JSON-RPC & EVM compatible, but do not yet have
support for [EIP-2718](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2718) Typed Transactions. This means
that transactions submitted to them by default in ethers-rs will have invalid serialization. To
address that, you must use the `legacy` feature flag:

```toml
[dependencies]

ethers = { git = "https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs", features = ["legacy"] }
```

### Polygon support

There is abigen support for Polygon and the Mumbai test network. It is recommended that you set the `POLYGONSCAN_API_KEY` environment variable.
You can get one [here](https://polygonscan.io/apis).

### Avalanche support

There is abigen support for Avalanche and the Fuji test network. It is recommended that you set the `SNOWTRACE_API_KEY` environment variable.
You can get one [here](https://snowtrace.io/apis).

### Celo Support

[Celo](http://celo.org/) support is turned on via the feature-flag `celo`:

```toml
[dependencies]

ethers = { git = "https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs", features = ["celo"] }
```

Celo's transactions differ from Ethereum transactions by including 3 new fields:

- `fee_currency`: The currency fees are paid in (None for CELO, otherwise it's an Address)
- `gateway_fee_recipient`: The address of the fee recipient (None for no gateway fee paid)
- `gateway_fee`: Gateway fee amount (None for no gateway fee paid)

The feature flag enables these additional fields in the transaction request builders and
in the transactions which are fetched over JSON-RPC.

## Note on WASM and FFI bindings

You should be able to build a wasm app that uses ethers-rs (see the [example](./examples/ethers-wasm) for reference). If ethers fails to
compile in WASM, please
[open an issue](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/issues/new/choose).
There is currently no plan to provide an official JS/TS-accessible library
interface. we believe [ethers.js](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/) serves that need
very well.

Similarly, you should be able to build FFI bindings to ethers-rs. If ethers
fails to compile in c lib formats, please
[open an issue](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/issues/new/choose).
There is currently no plan to provide official FFI bindings, and as ethers-rs is
not yet stable 1.0.0, its interface may change significantly between versions.

## Getting Help

First, see if the answer to your question can be found in the [API documentation](https://docs.rs/ethers). If the answer
is not there, try opening an [issue](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/issues/new) with the question.

## Contributing

Thanks for your help improving the project! We are so happy to have you! We have
[a contributing guide](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) to
help you get involved in the ethers-rs project.

If you make a Pull Request, do not forget to add your changes in the [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) and ensure your code if
properly formatted with `cargo +nightly fmt` and clippy is happy `cargo clippy`, you can even try to let clippy fix simple
issues itself: `cargo +nightly clippy --fix -Z unstable-options`

## Related Projects

This library would not have been possibly without the great work done in:

- [`ethers.js`](https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/)
- [`rust-web3`](https://github.com/tomusdrw/rust-web3/)
- [`ethcontract-rs`](https://github.com/gnosis/ethcontract-rs/)
- [`guac_rs`](https://github.com/althea-net/guac_rs/tree/master/web3/src/jsonrpc)

A lot of the code was inspired and adapted from them, to a unified and opinionated interface,
built with async/await and std futures from the ground up.
