How to Compile Solidity Smart Contracts

Use zksolc compiler to compile Solidity smart contracts. zksolc compiler requires solc to be installed. Specific version of zksolc compiler is compatible with specific versions solc so make sure to make correct versions of your compilers.

There are 3 solidity smart contracts:

• Storage: contract without constructor.
• Incrementer: contract with constructor.
• Demo: contract that has dependency to Foo contract.

In the following examples Docker is used to create containers with already solc installed.

Compile Smart Contracts

Run the container has solc tool already installed:

# create container with installed solc tool
SOLC_VERSION="0.8.19-alpine"
docker create -it --name zksolc --entrypoint ash  ethereum/solc:${SOLC_VERSION}

# copy smart contracts source files to container
docker cp solidity zksolc:/solidity

# run and attach to the container
docker start -i zksolc

Run commands in container:

# download zksolc
ZKSOLC_VERSION="v1.3.15"
wget https://github.com/matter-labs/zksolc-bin/raw/main/linux-amd64/zksolc-linux-amd64-musl-${ZKSOLC_VERSION} -O /bin/zksolc; chmod +x /bin/zksolc

Compile Storage Smart Contract

# compile smart contract
zksolc --bin -O3 \
	-o /solidity/storage/build  \
	/solidity/storage/Incrementer.sol


# create combined-json with abi and binary
zksolc -O3 -o /solidity/storage/build \
  --combined-json abi,bin \
  /solidity/storage/Storage.sol

Compile Incrementer Smart Contract

# compile smart contract
zksolc --bin -O3 \
	-o /solidity/incrementer/build  \
	/solidity/incrementer/Incrementer.sol

# create combined-json with abi and binary
zksolc -O3 -o /solidity/incrementer/build \
  --combined-json abi,bin \
  /solidity/incrementer/Incrementer.sol

Compile Demo Smart Contract

# compile smart contract
zksolc --bin -O3 \
	-o /solidity/demo/build/  \
	/solidity/demo/Demo.sol \
	/solidity/demo/Foo.sol

# create combined-json with abi
zksolc -O3 -o /solidity/demo/build \
  --combined-json abi \
  /solidity/demo/Demo.sol \
  /solidity/demo/Foo.sol

Exit from container

exit 

Copy generated files from container to host machine

# copy generated files from container to host
docker cp zksolc:/solidity .

# remove container
docker rm zksolc

On host machine, for each smart contract there in build folder there are binaries and combinned.json files.

Generate Golang bindings

Next step is to use abigen tool along with combined.json file to generate smart contract bindings for golang.

# create container with installed abigen tool
docker create -it --name abigen \
	--entrypoint ash \
	ethereum/client-go:alltools-v1.11.6

# copy required combine.json configuration files
docker cp solidity abigen:/solidity

# run and attach to the container
docker start -i abigen

Run commands in the container

Generate ABI for Storage Smart Contract

# generate bindings based on ABI in combined.json file
abigen \
	--combined-json /solidity/storage/build/combined.json \
	--out /solidity/storage/build/storage.go \
	--pkg storage

Generate ABI for Incrementer Smart Contract

# generate bindings based on ABI in combined.json file
abigen \
	--combined-json /solidity/incrementer/build/combined.json \
	--out /solidity/incrementer/build/demo.go \
	--pkg incrementer

Generate ABI for Demo Smart Contract

# generate bindings based on ABI in combined.json file
abigen \
	--combined-json /solidity/demo/build/combined.json \
	--out /solidity/demo/build/demo.go \
	--pkg demo

Exit from container

exit 

Copy generated smart contract bindings from container to host:

# copy generated bindings from container to host
docker cp abigen:/solidity .

# remove the container
docker rm abigen

For smart contract there is go file in build that can be used to interact with smart contract.
