## Overview
Star Frame is a modern Solana program framework designed to make developing on-chain programs more ergonomic, safe, and performant. Built with a trait-based architecture, it provides:
- **Type Safety**: Zero-cost abstractions that catch errors at compile time
- **Performance**: Optimized for Solana's compute unit constraints by utilizing Pinocchio and our unsized_type system
- **Developer Experience**: Intuitive APIs with comprehensive compile-time validation
- **Modularity**: Composable components for account validation, CPI calls, and program logic
## Getting Help
Star Frame is in active development (and improving our docs is a main priority now!). If you need help:
- Check out the [API documentation](https://docs.rs/star_frame)
- Browse the [examples](example_programs/) in this repository
- Open an [issue](https://github.com/staratlasmeta/star_frame/issues) for bug reports or feature requests
- Join our [Star Atlas Discord](https://discord.gg/gahmBHsc) and chat in our `#community-developers` channel
## Getting Started
### Create a new project using the CLI
```bash
cargo install star_frame_cli
sf --help
```
```bash
sf new <PROJECT-NAME>
```
### Update an existing project to use Star Frame
Add `star_frame` and `bytemuck` to your `Cargo.toml`:
```shell
cargo add star_frame bytemuck
```
Use the `prelude` to import the most commonly used traits and macros:
```rs
use star_frame::prelude::*;
```
## Example
Below is a simple counter program demonstrating the basic features of Star Frame. In this example, only the designated authority can increment the counter.
```rust
use star_frame::{anyhow::ensure, prelude::*};
#[derive(StarFrameProgram)]
#[program(
instruction_set = CounterInstructionSet,
id = "Coux9zxTFKZpRdFpE4F7Fs5RZ6FdaURdckwS61BUTMG"
)]
pub struct CounterProgram;
#[derive(InstructionSet)]
pub enum CounterInstructionSet {
Initialize(Initialize),
Increment(Increment),
}
#[derive(Align1, Pod, Zeroable, Default, Copy, Clone, Debug, Eq, PartialEq, ProgramAccount)]
#[program_account(seeds = CounterSeeds)]
#[repr(C, packed)]
pub struct CounterAccount {
pub authority: Pubkey,
pub count: u64,
}
#[derive(Debug, GetSeeds, Clone)]
#[get_seeds(seed_const = b"COUNTER")]
pub struct CounterSeeds {
pub authority: Pubkey,
}
#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct Authority(Pubkey);
impl AccountValidate<Authority> for CounterAccount {
fn validate_account(self_ref: &Self::Ref<'_>, arg: Authority) -> Result<()> {
ensure!(arg.0 == self_ref.authority, "Incorrect authority");
Ok(())
}
}
/// Initialize the counter
#[derive(BorshSerialize, BorshDeserialize, Debug, InstructionArgs)]
pub struct Initialize {
#[ix_args(&run)]
pub start_at: Option<u64>,
}
#[derive(AccountSet)]
pub struct InitializeAccounts {
#[validate(funder)]
pub authority: Signer<Mut<SystemAccount>>,
#[validate(arg = (
Create(()),
Seeds(CounterSeeds { authority: *self.authority.pubkey() }),
))]
#[idl(arg = Seeds(FindCounterSeeds { authority: seed_path("authority") }))]
pub counter: Init<Seeded<Account<CounterAccount>>>,
pub system_program: Program<System>,
}
#[star_frame_instruction]
fn Initialize(account_set: &mut InitializeAccounts, start_at: &Option<u64>) -> Result<()> {
**account_set.counter.data_mut()? = CounterAccount {
authority: *account_set.authority.pubkey(),
count: start_at.unwrap_or(0),
};
Ok(())
}
/// Increment the counter by 1
#[derive(BorshSerialize, BorshDeserialize, Debug, Copy, Clone, InstructionArgs)]
pub struct Increment;
#[derive(AccountSet, Debug)]
pub struct IncrementAccounts {
pub authority: Signer,
#[validate(arg = Authority(*self.authority.pubkey()))]
pub counter: Mut<ValidatedAccount<CounterAccount>>,
}
#[star_frame_instruction]
fn Increment(account_set: &mut IncrementAccounts) -> Result<()> {
let mut counter = account_set.counter.data_mut()?;
counter.count += 1;
Ok(())
}
```
