CLI Commands
Contracts written in LIGO can be compiled using the ligo
executable.
Compiling a contract
Compile your contract with a specific entry point.
ligo compile contract SOURCE_FILE --entry-point ENTRY_POINT
Example
ligo compile contract examples/counter.mligo --entry-point main
Defining the initial storage
If your contract implements a sophisticated storage, you can compile a LIGO expression into a Michelson value quite easily.
ligo compile storage SOURCE_FILE EXPRESSION --entry-point ENTRY_POINT
Example
ligo compile storage examples/counter.mligo 5 --entry-point main
# Outputs: 5
Invoking the contract with a parameter
ligo compile parameter SOURCE_FILE EXPRESSION --entry-point ENTRY_POINT
Example
ligo compile parameter examples/counter.mligo "Increment(5)" --entry-point main
# Outputs: (Right 5)
