We recommend using our template which comes with foundry already setup.

git clone git@github.com:Inco-fhevm/lightning-rod.git
cd lightning-rod
bun install

Using the template, you may want to skip to the cheatcodes reference.

​
Or setup manually

You do not need to follow these steps if you are using the lightning-rod template.

Follow these steps to add inco to your existing project, or manually setup a new one.

​
Download the inco libraries

Inco uses npm packages to provide its solidity library.

bun add @inco/lightning @inco/shared

Alternatively, you can use npm/yarn/pnpm.

​
Setup remappings

Create a file remappings.txt at the root of your contracts directory.

touch remappings.txt

Edit your remappings paths according to your setup.

forge-std/=your/path/to/forge-std/src/
ds-test/=your/path/to/ds-test/src/
@inco/=path/to/your/node_modules/@inco/
@openzeppelin/=path/to/your/node_modules/@openzeppelin/

Due to how solidity imports and remappings work, your remappings have to follow the idiomatic form. Here are the requirements so your project compiles while using inco:

  • left to the = sign, have the following names
    • forge-std/
    • ds-test/
    • @inco/
    • @openzeppelin/
  • right to the = sign, have the path to the corresponding library
    • forge-std/ should point to the src/ directory of your local forge-std library
    • ds-test/ should point to the src/ directory of your local ds-test library
    • @inco/ should point to the @inco directory in your node_modules directory, and not to the @inco/lightning or @inco/shared directories
    • In the same way @openzeppelin/ should point to the @openzeppelin directory in your node_modules directory

To simplify this process, we recommend using bun/npm to import all the dependencies (including foundry-std and ds-test) like so:

bun add  @inco/lightning @inco/shared https://github.com/dapphub/ds-test https://github.com/foundry-rs/forge-std @openzeppelin/contracts

and using this remapping file (supposing that your node_modules sit one directory up from your contracts directory):

@openzeppelin/=../node_modules/@openzeppelin/
forge-std/=../node_modules/forge-std/src/
ds-test/=../node_modules/ds-test/src/
@inco/=../node_modules/@inco/
