Cookbook.dev

What is Cookbook.dev?​

Cookbook.dev is an open-source smart contract registry where developers can find solidity primitives, libraries, and smart contracts for protocols across dozens of blockchains, including Manta Pacific.

In this tutorial, we'll walk through searching for or importing a protocol or smart contract on Cookbook.dev and deploying it to Manta Pacific using Cookbook.dev's no-code deploy and using Cookbook with Remix, Hardhat and Foundry.

Getting Started with Cookbook.dev​

Navigate to cookbook.dev/chains/Manta-Pacific and explore Protocols on Manta Pacific, or search for specific smart contracts or keywords in the search bar or Contracts menu tab.

To learn about a smart contract on Cookbook.dev, select the protocol, and select Expand. This opens the code alongside ChefGPT, Cookbook.dev's AI Solidity assistant.

Highlight selections of the code and press Analyze Snippet to get more information about the smart contract code you're looking at, or ask ChefGPT questions about Manta Pacific, Solidity, or your smart contract.

Import any Smart Contract Code into Cookbook.dev​

Import verified smart contract code into Cookbook to fork, learn about, or build with by inputting any smart contract address that's verified on an EVM-based block explorer into the Cookbook.dev search bar.

Deploy your Smart Code code to Manta Pacific using Cookbook.dev and Remix​

Method #1 - Using the Cookbook.dev website with open in Remix​

On a smart contract or protocol page in Cookbook, select the Open in Remix option. Your smart contract will automatically be opened in a new Remix workspace.

Compile your smart contract within Remix. Most contracts opened with Cookbook will automatically compile within Remix.

Once compiled, deploy the smart contract in Remix.

To deploy the smart contract to Manta Pacific Network, make sure your wallet is set to the Manta Pacific mainnnet or testnet and then connect to Remix by selecting injected provider - Metamask Wallet in the environments tab within the deploy screen.

Once deployed, we can interact with our smart contract within Remix.

Method #2 - Using the Cookbook Remix Plug-in within the Remix IDE​

Go to Remix.Ethereum.org

Add The Cookbook Plugin to Remix by clicking the Chef Hat Logo under Featured Plugins on the Remix Homepage.

Alternatively, search Cookbook and select Activate in the Remix Plugin Manager.

Search for any protocol or smart contract and click the search result to import the smart contract code into Remix.

Cookbook's AI solidity co-pilot, ChefGPT, is available within the Remix plugin to answer questions about Manta Pacific, Solidity, or the smart contract you're working with.

Compile and deploy the smart contract as described in Method 1 above.

Deploy your Smart Code code to Manta Pacific using Cookbook.dev and Hardhat​

After finding the smart contract or protocol you want to work with in Cookbook, select the Download Source option and select Hardhat to download the contract boilerplate. For this guide, we'll use Cookbook's Simple ERC-20 Token Smart Contract.

To install the required packages and dependencies, run

npm install

To compile your smart contract, run 

npx hardhat compile

Add arguments to the constructorArgs array in the deploy.js file in the scripts folder and save. If you do not need any arguments please leave the array empty.

In your .env.example file, add your Manta Pacifc RPC API key and add your wallet private key. Afterward change the name of the file to .env and create a gitignore to ignore your .env file.

Add the following code to your hardhat.config.js file. Be sure to change your RPC URL and the ChainID to match either mainnet or testnet

module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.8.1",
  defaultNetwork: "rinkeby",
  networks: {
    rinkeby: {
      url: "https://eth-rinkeby.alchemyapi.io/v2/123abc123abc123abc123abc123abcde",
      accounts: [privateKey]
    },
    manta: {
      url: "RPC URL",  // Insert your RPC URL Here
      chainId: CHAINID, //Insert your ChainID Here
    }
  },
}

To deploy your smart contract to the Manta Pacific Network, run

npx hardhat run --network (manta) scripts/deploy.js

Deploy your Smart Code code to Manta Pacific using Cookbook.dev and Foundry​

After finding the smart contract or protocol you want to work with in Cookbook, select the Download Source option and select Foundry to download the contract boilerplate.For this guide, we'll use Cookbook's Simple ERC-20 Token Smart Contract.

Before you can use Foundry, you need to install Rust, a programming language required to run Foundry. Follow the installation instructions provided here.

Once Rust is installed, you can install Foundry. Follow the installation instructions provided here.

To build your contracts, Run

forge build

If you encounter a "stack too deep" error, try running the following command instead

forge build --via

In the scripts folder, uncomment all the code in the contract.s.sol file. Replace "ARG1", "ARG2", 2000 with your Token Name, Token Symbol and desired Token Quantity where you see the code below

FixedToken _contract = new FixedToken("ARG1", "ARG2", 2000);

Before deploying your contracts, populate the .env file with your Manta Pacific Network RPC URL, followed by your Wallet private key and your Etherscan API key token values. Then, run the following command to define your environment variables globally

source .env

Deploy your contracts with the following command

forge script script/contract.s.sol:ContractScript --rpc-url $GOERLI_RPC_URL --broadcast --verify -vvvv

Your contract will be verified on the Manta Pacific block explorer automatically upon deployment.
