ape-ganache: Ape network provider for Ganache
License: Apache-2.0
Requires Python: >=3.8,<4
Keywords: ethereum

# Quick Start

Ganache network provider plugin for Ape. Ganache is a tool for creating a local blockchain for fast Ethereum development.

## Dependencies

- [python3](https://www.python.org/downloads) version 3.8 up to 3.11.
- Node.js, NPM, and Ganache. See Ganache's [Installation](https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache#command-line-use%3E) documentation for steps.

## Installation

### via `pip`

You can install the latest release via [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/):

```bash
pip install ape-ganache
```

### via `setuptools`

You can clone the repository and use [setuptools](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools) for the most up-to-date version:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape-ganache.git
cd ape-ganache
python3 setup.py install
```

## Quick Usage

To use the plugin, first install Ganache locally into your Ape project directory:

```bash
cd your-ape-project
npm install --global ganache
```

After that, you can use the `--network ethereum:local:ganache` command line flag to use the ganache network (if it's not already configured as the default).

This network provider takes additional Ganache-specific configuration options.
To use them, add these configs in your project's `ape-config.yaml`:

```yaml
ganache:
  server:
    port: 8555
```

To select a random port, use a value of "auto":

```yaml
ganache:
  server:
    port: auto
```

This is useful for multiprocessing and starting up multiple providers.

## Mainnet Fork

The `ape-ganache` plugin also includes a mainnet fork provider. It requires using another provider that has access to mainnet.

Use it in most commands like this:

```bash
ape console --network :mainnet-fork:ganache
```

Specify the upstream archive-data provider in your `ape-config.yaml`:

```yaml
ganache:
  fork:
    ethereum:
      mainnet:
        upstream_provider: infura
```

Otherwise, it defaults to the default mainnet provider plugin.
You can also specify a `block_number`.

**NOTE**: Make sure you have the upstream provider plugin installed for ape.

```bash
ape plugins add infura
```

## Unlocking Accounts

You can unlock / impersonate accounts at genesis time using Ganache.
To do this, add the accounts to your config like this:

```yaml
ganache:
  wallet:
    unlocked_accounts:
      - 0x04029baca527b69247dbe9243dfc9b5d12c7ba60
```
