DotKit is a powerful scaffolding tool designed to help you quickly generate basic templates for ink! smart contracts. Whether you're building a Counter, NFT, Token, or Multisig contract, DotKit provides a streamlined way to kickstart your project, allowing you to focus on the specifics of your use case.

With DotKit, you can:

• Select a contract type based on your needs.
• Customize basic details such as project name, author name, and email.
• Generate a ready-to-use ink! contract with minimal effort.

Features

• Interactive CLI: DotKit guides you through a simple, interactive process to gather required details.
• Supported Contract Types:
  • Counter Contract: A basic increment/decrement counter.
  • NFT Contract: A template for non-fungible token standards.
  • Token Contract: A starting point for creating fungible tokens.
  • Multisig Contract: A contract for managing multisignature wallets.
• Sensible Defaults: Defaults for inputs like project name and author details ensure you can get started even faster.
• Validated Inputs: Input validation ensures your data is accurate before generating the contract.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   cargo install dotkit
   

2. Build the project:

   cargo contract build --release
   

Usage

1. Run DotKit:

   dotkit
   

2. Follow the interactive prompts to:

   • Enter your project name.
   • Enter your name and email.
   • Select a contract type.

3. Once complete, DotKit will generate a new folder with the scaffolded contract files.

Example

Here’s an example of using DotKit to generate a Counter contract:

1. Run the tool:

   dotkit
   

2. Input the details when prompted:

   Enter your project name: counter_project
   Enter your name: Alice
   Enter your email: alice@example.com
   Pick a project type:
   - [c] Counter Contract
   - [t] Token Contract
   - [n] NFT Contract
   - [m] Multisig Contract
   Select an option: c
   

3. DotKit will generate the contract and display:

   Let's cook!🚀
   
   1. Open `lib.rs`
   2. Make some required changes
   3. Run `cargo contract build` to build the contract"
   

4. Navigate to the generated folder:

   cd counter_project
   

5. Open llib.rs file and adjust the generated contract file as needed.

Project Structure

The scaffolded project will have the following structure:

project_name/
├── lib.rs          # Main ink! contract file
├── Cargo.toml      # Rust project file
└── README.md       # Project README file

Roadmap

• MVP with basic contract types
• Add support for additional contract types.
• Audit contracts
• Provide more customization options for generated contracts.
• Integrate with popular blockchain development tools.
