Limitations of Remix

The Remix IDE that you have used so far is good enough for development and initial testing of your contract. For real-life contracts, you need to test your functionality against various parameters. Remix cannot create real (non-test) user accounts to transfer funds between them. You have no control over the configuration of the Blockchain created by Remix. You cannot even monitor the execution of the transactions.

Remix misses out on several advanced operations. Thus, we need to deploy our contract on a more sophisticated Blockchain that provides all these features. One such Blockchain is Ganache that you will learn about in our subsequent chapter.

    Once you write the complete contract code, compiling it in this IDE is trivial. Simply click on the Autocompile checkbox in the IDE as shown in the screenshot below − Alternatively, you may compile the contract by clicking the button with the title “Start to compile”. If there is any typo, fix it in the code window. Make…

    In this chapter, we will learn the creation of contract users on Ethereum. To create a user for our published contract, we will create another MyEtherWallet client attached to the same Ganache Blockchain that you have been using in the previous steps. Go to the MyEtherWallet screen and create a new wallet. Click on the contracts menu and select the “Interact with…

    To deploy the contract, select the Contracts menu option as shown in the screenshot below − You will need to enter the contract’s bytecode on this screen. Remember, when you compile your Solidity contract code, it generated a bytecode that runs on EVM. You will now need to obtain this bytecode from Remix IDE. Go to the Remix…

    You learned how to write your own digital contract in Solidity. You developed and tested the contract interface in the Remix IDE. For further multi-user testing, you deployed this contract on Ganache Blockchain. On Ganache, you created two user accounts. The first account was used for publishing the contract. The second account was used for…
