Ethereum: How to mock smart contract with hardhat and ethers v6
Mocking smart contracts with Hardhat and Ethers V6: A Guide
While the use of Ethereum intelligent contracts continues to grow, mocking these contracts is becoming more and more important. With the latest versions of Hardhat (version 4) and Ethers.JS V6, it is now possible to make fun of smart contracts using two popular solutions. In this article, we will explore the two options and provide a step -by -step guide on how to use them.
Nomiclabs / Hardhat-Waffle: a popular option
The first solution is Hardhat-Waffle of Nomiclabs, which provides a simple way to test and simulate smart contracts using Ethers.js V6. Waffle allows you to write tests for the functions of your contract without really deploying the contract. This approach is perfect for testing individual functions or small contracts.
Here is an example of the use of nomiclabs / Hardhat-Waffle:
`Js
Const {ethers} = require ('Hardhat');
Asynchronous function testsmartcontract () {
Const Waffle = Wait Ethers.GetContractFactory ("MySmartContract");
Const MockContract = Wait Waffle.Deploy ();
// Test a specific function
Const result = awaits mockContract.Myfunction ();
Wait (result) .To.be.rue;
}
Testsmartcontract ();
'
Defi-Wonderland / Smock: a more advanced option
The second solution is Defi-Wonderland / Smock, which provides a more advanced way to make fun of smart contracts using Ethers.js V6. Smock allows you to create simulated instances of your contract and control your behavior.
Here is an example of how to use Defi-Wonderland / Smock:
Js
Const {ethers} = require ('Hardhat');
Const {smock} = require ('@ defi-wonderland / smock');
Asynchronous function testsmartcontract () {
Const Smock = New Smock ({
Contracterdress: '0xmysmartcontractaddress',
Network: "Mainnet", // or "wasmbs"
Gasprice: 20,
Gaslimit: 200000,
});
Constructure = Await Ethers.GetContractFactory ("MYSMARTCTRACTRACT"). Deploy ();
Const MockContract = Await smock.createmock (contract);
// Test a specific function
Const result = awaits mockContract.Myfunction ();
Wait (result) .To.be.rue;
}
Testsmartcontract ();

Conclusion
In this article, we explored two ways to make fun of smart contracts with Hardhat and Ethers.js V6. While Nomiclabs / Hardhat-Waffle is a popular solution, Defi-Wonderland / Smock offers more advanced features to control the behavior of your contract.
When you choose a mocking solution, consider the following factors:
- Ease of use: Is it easy to configure and use the simulated solution?
- Personalization: Can you control the behavior of your contract using the simulated solution?
- Performance: Does the simulated solution have an impact on performance?
In the end, the choice between Nomiclabs / Hardhat-Waffle and Defi-Wonderland / Smock depends on your specific needs and preferences.
