Working on an Existing Project
Foundry makes developing with existing projects have no overhead.
For this example, we will use PaulRBerg’s
foundry-template.
First, clone the project and run forge install inside the project directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/PaulRBerg/foundry-template
$ cd foundry-template
$ forge install
$ bun install # install Solhint, Prettier, and other Node.js deps
We run forge install to install the submodule dependencies that are in the project.
To build, use forge build:
$ forge build --zksync
Compiling 28 files with zksolc and solc 0.8.25
zksolc and solc 0.8.25 finished in 4.68s
Compiler run successful!
And to test, use forge test:
$ forge test --zksync
Compiling 25 files with Solc 0.8.25
Solc 0.8.25 finished in 925.41ms
Compiler run successful!
No files changed, compilation skipped
