pinting 🍻

This project introduces two key components to enhance the development workflow within the Essential ecosystem:

• A Language Server and Visual Studio Extension: To support a user-friendly and efficient development process, this project also includes a Language Server tailored for Pint, along with an extension for Visual Studio Code. Together, these tools provide essential features like code completion, syntax highlighting, etc. This ensures a smoother, more intuitive development experience, reducing friction and enabling developers to focus on building robust solutions.
• A Hardhat Integration for the Pint Language: This contribution bridges the Pint Language with Hardhat, a widely-used development framework for building, testing, and deploying blockchain applications. By integrating Pint into Hardhat, developers can leverage a familiar and powerful environment while working with Pint, ensuring a seamless transition and enabling productive development without the need to learn a completely new setup.

Language Server and VSCode Extension

To enhance productivity, we prototype a Pint Language Server in Rust, using tower-lsp and the Pint compiler (pintc) as a library. It provides essential features like syntax checking and auto-completion.

The VSCode extension, built with Node.js, integrates directly with the Language Server to deliver these features within the VSCode interface. Together, these tools offer a developer-friendly environment for writing, debugging, and managing Pint contracts, streamlining the adoption of Pint in the Essential ecosystem.

Hardhat Integration for Pint

The Hardhat integration, built with TypeScript, adds support for the Pint Language to the Hardhat ecosystem. Leveraging Essential’s essential-rest-client and pint-cli tools, it allows developers to test and develop Pint contracts as effortlessly as any other smart contracts. This ensures a consistent, familiar workflow while minimizing the learning curve and enabling smooth adoption into existing pipelines.
