compile type

SYNOPSIS

ligo compile type TYPE_EXPRESSION

DESCRIPTION

This sub-command compiles a LIGO type to a Michelson type value.

FLAGS

--display-format FORMAT the format that will be used by the CLI. Available formats are 'dev', 'json', and 'human-readable' (default). When human-readable lacks details (we are still tweaking it), please contact us and use another format in the meanwhile. (alias: --format)

--init-file FILENAME the path to the smart contract file to be used for context initialization.

--library LIBS A comma-separated list of paths to directories where to search for files to be included by the preprocessor (alias: -l)

--michelson-format CODE_FORMAT format that will be used by compile-contract for the resulting Michelson. Available formats are 'text' (default), 'json', 'msgpack' and 'hex'.

--no-color disable coloring in CLI output

--no-stdlib disable stdlib inclusion.

--no-warn disable warning messages

--project-root PATH The path to root of the project.

--skip-analytics Avoid ligo analytics publication. Configurable with environment variable LIGO_SKIP_ANALYTICS too

--syntax SYNTAX the syntax that will be used. Currently supported syntaxes are "cameligo" and "jsligo". By default, the syntax is guessed from the extension (.mligo and .jsligo respectively). (alias: -s)

--warn-infinite-loop warn about infinite loop

--warn-unused-rec warn about unused recursion in a recursive function

--werror treat warnings as errors

-D pass a list of defines to the preprocessor

-p PROTOCOL choose protocol's types/values pre-loaded into the LIGO environment (deprecated) (alias: --protocol)

-help print this help text and exit (alias: -?)
