ink! Analyzer

A library for semantic analysis of ink! smart contract code.

NOTE: This project is still work in progress and implements very limited functionality at this time.

Architecture

This project currently contains 2 main modules:

1. analysis

This module implements types and abstractions for performing semantic analysis of ink! smart contract code. It therefore implements the core functionality of this library.

Currently only 3 diagnostics that return a diagnostic model that includes an error/warning message, the text range to which the diagnostic applies and its severity are implemented:

an error diagnostic that detects when the #[ink::contract] attribute is applied to anything other than a mod item.
a warning diagnostic for unknown ink! path attribute (e.g. #[ink::xyz], #[ink::abc::xyz]).
a warning diagnostic for unknown ink! argument attribute (e.g. #[ink(xyz)]).

You can find its core implementations in the diagnostics submodule.

2. ir

This module implements ink! intermediate representations (IRs) and abstractions.

Installation

Run the following Cargo command in your project directory

cargo add ink-analyzer

Usage

Example: Get diagnostics for ink! smart contract code

use ink_analyzer::Analysis;

fn do_analysis() {
    let code = r#"
        #[ink::contract]
        mod flipper {

            #[ink(storage)]
            pub struct Flipper {
                value: bool,
            }

            // --snip--
        }
    "#;

    let diagnostics = Analysis.diagnostics(&code);
    dbg!(&diagnostics);
}

Documentation

https://docs.rs/ink-analyzer/latest/ink_analyzer/

Or you can access documentation locally by running the following command from the project root

cargo doc --open

Testing

You can run unit tests for all the core functionality by running the following command from the project root

cargo test

Implementations of the unit tests (and hence a good overview of the current functionality) can be found in the analysis module.
