Turns out there is a better tool (cast from foundry) already but this is just here as a reminder that at least i tried something 💀
Ethersource is a simple tool to download the source code of verified smart contracts on etherscan. The files are organised in their respective paths and allows for a better experience of browsing smart contracts from etherscan
Note: Ethersource is still a work in progress but it is currently able to download verified smart contracts that are in multiple files as of 27/6/2022
I developed this out of frustration of trying to read smart contracts on etherscan. The experience of trying to inspect and take reference from existing smart contracts was a painful experience for me.
I would much rather be able to read the smart contracts on VScode with syntax highlighting and a great search functionality
The contract source code is simply fetched from etherscan's api. The source code is then parsed and placed into their respective paths.
This small project was heavily inspired by DethCode and ETHover. I adapted their implementation to fix my use case. Check them out!
