VSCode Solidity Inspector •

An extension for VSCode editor that offers multiple utilities to work with the Solidity smart-contracts.

Note: This extension is not tested across multiple platforms yet. Only the contracts under foundry project are supported for now.

Motivation:

0age 👑 dropped the optimization alpha in his tweet and when I tried it out for the first time I thought it was really a cool trick. The tweet has the configuration only for hardhat projects. But forge helps to do the same thing in a single command. So I thought instead of typing out the command for each contract in the CLI, it would be handy for the buildooors if there's an extension to inspect solidity contracts and generate low-level code for the contracts. The o/p generated is very useful for gas optimizations. Later I started adding more features to this extension.

TL;DR, this is my first VSCode extension, so feel free to provide feedback as I know that there's a plenty of room for improvements, as always^^

Features at a glance:

• Forge ir-optimized o/p generation for the current file (or) selected file(s).
• Forge asm-optimized o/p generation for the current file (or) selected file(s).
• Forge storage-layout o/p generation for the current file (or) selected file(s).
• Flatten current file (or) selected file(s).
• Inline highlighting in code editor for unused imports.
• Generate and view Foundry deployment report in a clean and concise table format.
• Syntax highlighting of for .tree files.
• Generate foundry test stub using bulloak's scaffold command.
• Auto-complete path suggestions for importing files and dependencies (with forge remappings support).

Requirements

The following will need to be installed in order to use this template. Please follow the links and instructions.

• Foundry / Foundryup

  • This will install forge, cast, and anvil
  • You can test you've installed them right by running forge --version and get an output like: forge 0.2.0 (f016135 2022-07-04T00:15:02.930499Z)
  • To get the latest of each, just run foundryup

• Bulloak

  • This is required to generate test stub from .tree spec files.

Usage

The usage of this extension is straightforward.

• From the context menu: Select file(s) -> Right click -> SolidityInspector: <ACTION>
