A Simple Example

We have finished Chapter 1.1 and Chapter 1.2, so we have an environment to interact with Gearbox contracts, deploy our own software, etc. To make it feel more concrete, let's deploy a simple example to query the latest version of Gearbox's deployed contracts. First of all, we need to fork mainnet by executing:

bash
npm run fork
bash
npm run fork

After running the command above, we will see something like this in the terminal.

bash
yarn run v1.22.17
warning package.json: No license field

Congratulations, if you see an output like the above it means that we are running an instance of Hardhat Network that forks mainnet. We are being shown 20 wallets that we can use to deploy. Using a Mainnet fork means that we have the same state as mainnet, but it will work as a local development network with JSON-RPC server at http://127.0.0.1:8545. Thus, we can start to write our example code, we open a new command window and create a Typescript file scripts/simple-example.ts.

scripts/simple-example.ts
tsx
async function main() {
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider();
  const addressProvider = AddressProvider__factory.connect(ADDRESS_PROVIDER_ADDRESS, provider);
  const version = await addressProvider.version();
  console.log(version);
}
scripts/simple-example.ts
tsx
async function main() {
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider();
  const addressProvider = AddressProvider__factory.connect(ADDRESS_PROVIDER_ADDRESS, provider);
  const version = await addressProvider.version();
  console.log(version);
}

Then we run this script by executing the following shell command:

bash
npx hardhat run scripts/simple-example.ts
bash
npx hardhat run scripts/simple-example.ts

If you can see the below output in your terminal, it means that we were successful and the latest version is v1.
