Crate features

• abi_build - Additional functionality, needed for build of ABI separately
• docker - Adds docker module for functionality of building in docker with WASM reproducibility.

Default features

None are enabled by default

Re-exports

1. [camino] is re-exported, because it is used in [BuildOpts], and [BuildArtifact] as type of some of fields
2. [near_abi] is re-exported, because details of ABI generated depends on specific version of near-abi dependency
3. [bon] is re-exported for the convenience of bon::vec helper macro

Sample usage:

Default:

let artifact = cargo_near_build::build(Default::default()).expect("some error during build");

With some options set:

let build_opts = cargo_near_build::BuildOpts::builder().features("some_contract_feature_1").build();
let artifact = cargo_near_build::build(build_opts).expect("some error during build");

Release notes

Release notes and unreleased changes can be found in the CHANGELOG

Github Codespaces template + an online ide

• Quick start your project with the template repository generated by cargo near new command
• The associated template repository's README contains a Code > Codespaces > Create codespace on main screenshot.
• Clicking the button will result in using Github Codespaces devcontainer. The containers allow you to start building without the need to install any dependencies on your machine and provide the actual version.

Installation

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/near/cargo-near/releases/latest/download/cargo-near-installer.sh | sh

irm https://github.com/near/cargo-near/releases/latest/download/cargo-near-installer.ps1 | iex

npm install cargo-near

cargo install --locked cargo-near

$ git clone https://github.com/near/cargo-near
$ cargo install --locked --path cargo-near

Usage

See cargo near --help for a complete list of available commands or run cargo near to dive into interactive mode. Help is also available for each individual command with a --help flag, e.g. cargo near build --help.

cargo near

Starts interactive mode that will allow to explore all the available commands.

Use --teach-me flag if you want to know "how it works".

cargo near --teach-me

Starts an interactive mode with an explanation of the execution of the selected command.

Additionally depends on Git binary being installed, besides cargo.

cargo near new

Initializes a new project skeleton to create a contract from a template.

Example of github workflows configuration, created by cargo near new.

cargo near build

Builds a NEAR smart contract along with its ABI (while in the directory containing contract's Cargo.toml).

Running the above command opens a menu with following variants:

non-reproducible-wasm

Recommended variant for use during local development.

This is a regular build, which behaves much like and is a thin wrapper around a regular cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --release.

Additional flags for build configuration can be looked up if needed by:

cargo near build non-reproducible-wasm -h      # brief summary
cargo near build non-reproducible-wasm --help  # detailed description of command 

reproducible-wasm

Recommended variant for the production releases.

This variant runs a reproducible build in a Docker container, which:

1. runs against source code version, committed to git, ignoring any uncommitted changes
2. requires that Cargo.lock of project is created (e.g. via cargo update) and added to git.
   • this enables --locked build by downstream cargo command.
3. will use configuration in [package.metadata.near.reproducible_build] section of contract's Cargo.toml and package.repository field
   • default values for this section can also be found in Cargo.toml of template project, generated by cargo near new

What's a reproducible build in context of NEAR? Why is it needed? Explanation of these points and a step-by-step tutorial is present at SourceScan/verification-guide.

Additional flags for build configuration can be looked up if needed by:

cargo near build reproducible-wasm -h      # replace `-h` with `--help` for more details

cargo near abi

Generates NEAR smart contract's ABI (while in the directory containing contract's Cargo.toml).

Once contract is deployed, this will allow you to call a view function __contract_abi to retrieve a ZST-compressed ABI.

cargo near create-dev-account

Guides you through creation of a new NEAR account on testnet.

cargo near deploy

Builds the smart contract (equivalent to cargo near build) and guides you to deploy it to the blockchain.

Similar to build, running the above command opens a menu with following variants:

build-non-reproducible-wasm

This forwards to non-reproducible-wasm variant of build command.

build-reproducible-wasm

This forwards to reproducible-wasm variant of build command.

deploy command from Docker build requires that contract's source code:

1. doesn't have any modified tracked files, any staged changes or any untracked content.
2. has been pushed to remote repository, identified by package.repository.

Special cargo environment variables

Both of the following are mentioned on https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#buildrustflags

RUSTFLAGS

running e.g.

RUSTFLAGS="your_custom_value" cargo near build non-reproducible-wasm

won't result in "your_custom_value" affecting the build.

RUSTFLAGS="-Awarnings" is always used for abi build stage, and RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-s" for wasm build stage.

Logic for concatenating default values of this variable with values from env was removed in cargo-near-0.13.3/cargo-near-build-0.4.3, as it was seen as an unnecessary complication.

There's still a way to override this parameter for wasm build stage, e.g.:

cargo near build non-reproducible-wasm --env 'RUSTFLAGS=--verbose'
RUST_LOG=info cargo near build non-reproducible-wasm --env 'RUSTFLAGS=--verbose -C link-arg=-s'

CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS

This variable is always unset during build, so

CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS="your_custom_value" cargo near build non-reproducible-wasm

won't result in "your_custom_value" affecting the build.

This is so to avoid weird issues like #287 when composing multiple builds via build scripts.
