Deploying Locally

For this you need to use our Hardhat plugin.

Once installed, you can access the Unlock plugin directly from the Hardhat Runtime Environment anywhere you need it (tasks, scripts, tests, etc).

import { unlock } from "hardhat";

// deploy the Unlock contract
await unlock.deployUnlock();

// deploy the template
await unlock.deployPublicLock();

// deploy the entire protocol (localhost only)
await unlock.deployProtocol();

// create a lock
const lockArgs = {
  expirationDuration: 60 * 60 * 24 * 7, // 7 days
  currencyContractAddress: null, // null for ETH or erc20 address
  keyPrice: "100000000", // in wei
  maxNumberOfKeys: 10,
  name: "A Demo Lock",
};
await unlock.createLock(lockArgs);

Command Line Interface​

The plugin also comes with a few CLI commands to help you get things started.
