Deployer is a tool for compiling and deploying Solidity smart contracts with ease. + +It serves a similar purpose as parts of the [Truffle framework](http://truffleframework.com/), but with the UNIX philosophy in mind: Make each program do one thing well. This tool is for intermediate to advanced Solidity developers that require greater configurability and reliability. + +Deployer has the following advantages over Truffle: + +* Deploy each smart contract with a specific version of Solidity. +* Improved artifact files: + * Properly segregated artifacts to support storing different versions of smart contract deployed on different networks. + * Storage of constructor args, source maps and paths to all requisite source files. + * An easy to maintain codebase: TypeScript + Single repo. + * Allows you to specify the deployer RPC address. + * Supports Solidity version ranges - contract compiled with latest Solidity version that satisfies the range. + * Migrations that work with `async/await`. + * Migrations that can be written synchronously in order to guarentee deterministic contract addresses. + * No race conditions when running migrations. + +Deployer can be used as a command-line tool or as an imported module. |
