Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when learning Solidity or examining educational contract examples and their tests; the repository also provides a documented local test workflow.
Who it is for
- People learning Solidity fundamentals through code examples.
- Developers studying contract behavior and business logic through tests.
- Readers seeking educational starting points for sample token, wallet, swap, vault or NFT contracts.
Documented uses
- Study Solidity topics such as functions, events, mappings, inheritance and error handling.
- Inspect tests to understand contract behavior and business logic.
- Explore sample applications and contract patterns.
- Install dependencies and run the documented Hardhat test command.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under MIT.
- The README says almost all smart contracts have tests, rather than claiming complete test coverage.
- The documented test workflow uses npm and Hardhat.
- The project presents its contracts as learning examples, not as verified production-ready components.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install dependencies and run the example tests
Run the repository's documented Hardhat test command after installing its dependencies.
Before you start
- A local checkout of the Solidity Examples repository
- npm and the project dependencies
Steps
From the repository, run the command below.
npm installRun the command below.
npx hardhat test
Expected outcome
The documented Hardhat test command runs the repository's contract tests.
Guide limitations
- The README says almost all smart contracts have tests; it does not claim every contract is covered.
- Running the repository tests does not establish that an adapted contract is suitable for production or deployment.
