Description
I suggest adopting the practice of using Hardhat tasks as the preferred method for deploying Solidity contracts and interacting with them over the current practice of using standalone JS scripts. Hardhat tasks offer several significant benefits that can greatly enhance the development workflow and improve the overall efficiency of contract deployment.
-
Easier deployment process: Hardhat tasks provide a standardized and streamlined approach to contract deployment. This simplification reduces the risk of manual errors and makes the deployment process more reliable and reproducible.
-
Improved testing workflow: Hardhat tasks seamlessly integrate with the testing framework, allowing for seamless coordination between contract deployment and testing. With tasks, you can ensure that your contracts are properly deployed before running tests, eliminating any discrepancies between development and deployment environments. This integration enhances the quality and reliability of your tests.
-
Configurability and Flexibility: Hardhat tasks enable developers to define custom deployment configurations and parameters, making deploying contracts across different networks, environments, and scenarios easier. You can configure gas limits, contract initializations, and interact with different wallets, among other options. This flexibility allows for efficient multi-network deployments and facilitates integration with external tools and services.
-
Enhanced Error Handling and Debugging: Hardhat tasks provide robust error-handling mechanisms, making identifying and resolving deployment issues easier. Tasks provide informative error messages, stack traces, and debugging tools in case of failures, which greatly simplifies the troubleshooting process and accelerates bug resolution.
