# `cargo-dimension`
[](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-dimension)
[](LICENSE)
A command line tool for creating a Wasm smart contract and tests for use on the Dimension network.
---
## Installation
`cargo dimension` is a Cargo subcommand which can be installed via `cargo install`:
```
cargo install cargo-dimension
```
To install from the latest `main` branch:
```
git clone https://github.com/dimension-labs/cargo-dimension
cargo install cargo-dimension --path=cargo-dimension
```
## Usage
To create a folder "my_project" containing a basic example contract and a separate test crate for the contract:
```
cargo dimension my_project
```
This creates the following files:
```
my_project/
├── contract
│ ├── .cargo
│ │ └── config.toml
│ ├── Cargo.toml
│ └── src
│ └── main.rs
├── Makefile
├── rust-toolchain
├── tests
│ ├── Cargo.toml
│ └── src
│ └── integration_tests.rs
└── .travis.yml
```
### Building the contract
To build the contract, the correct version of Rust must be installed along with the Wasm target:
```
cd my_project
make prepare
```
The contract can now be built using:
```
make build-contract
```
and will be built to `my_project/contract/target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/contract.wasm`.
### Testing the contract
Running the test will automatically build the contract in release mode, copy it to the "tests/wasm" folder, then build
and run the test:
```
make test
```
