Sol-compiler is a tool for compiling Solidity smart contracts and generating artifacts 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. - -Sol-compiler has the following advantages over Truffle: - -* Compile each smart contract with a specific version of Solidity. -* Improved artifact files: - * Storage of constructor args, source maps and paths to all requisite source files. - * An easy to maintain codebase: TypeScript + Single repo. - * Supports Solidity version ranges - contract compiled with latest Solidity version that satisfies the range. - -Sol-compiler can be used as a command-line tool or as an imported module. +Welcome to the [sol-compiler](https://github.com/0xProject/0x-monorepo/tree/development/packages/sol-compiler) documentation! Sol-compiler is a wrapper around [solc-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/solc) that adds: + +* Smart re-compilation: Only recompiles when smart contracts have changed +* Ability to compile an entire project instead of only individual `.sol` files +* Compilation using the Solidity version specified at the top of each individual `.sol` file +* Proper parsing of Solidity version ranges +* Support for the standard [input description](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/develop/using-the-compiler.html#input-description) for what information you'd like added to the resulting `artifacts` file (i.e 100% configurable artifacts content). +* Storage of constructor args, source maps and paths to all dependency source files. |
