This is the monorepo for Cannon. If you're just interested in using the project, visit the website.

⚠️ Cannon is under active development. While the interface and functionality are generally stable, use the tool with caution when conducting high-risk deployments.

For more information, please see documentation in the modules listed below:

• cli: The command-line interface. Run npx @usecannon/cli --help for usage information.
• builder: Builds chain data from cannonfiles. (This is used by the CLI.)
• hardhat-cannon: Code for the Hardhat plug-in, which wraps the CLI functionality with defaults pulled from a Hardhat project configuration.
• registry: The smart contract for the package registry.
• registry-subgraph: Indexes the registry contract onto The Graph for display on the website.
• website: The website, hosted at https://usecannon.com

Usage Examples:

• router-architecture: Project demonstrating how to setup an upgradable Router Architecture.
• sample-hardhat-project: Hardhat project that demonstrates the core functionality of the hardhat-cannon module
• sample-foundry-project: Foundry project that demonstrates the core functionality of the cli module

See CONTRIBUTING.md

Currently our release workflow handles publishing releases to npm through lerna. It only publishes releases if any SemVer version changes have been added to the commit history merged into main.

If a situation where a commit was merged without proper convention arises, we can always bump and publish manually using lerna's version and publish workflow:

npx lerna publish --no-private will bump package versions and find npm packages that need to be published in the repo.
