IMPORTANT NOTE: WORK IN PROGRESS! Do not expect this to be working.

An eDSL to write WebAssembly based smart contracts in the Rust programming language.

Example

Below is an example using the eDSL demonstrating a simple Flipper smart contract that has a boolean state that can be flipped or returned.

contract! {
    /// Flips its state between `true` and `false`.
    struct Flipper {
        /// The current state of our flag.
        value: storage::Value<bool>,
    }

    impl Deploy for Flipper {
        /// Initializes our state to `false` upon deploying our smart contract.
        fn deploy(&mut self) {
            self.value.set(false)
        }
    }

    impl Flipper {
        /// Flips the current state of our smart contract.
        pub(external) fn flip(&mut self) {
            if *self.value {
                *self.value = false
            } else {
                *self.value = true
            }
        }

        /// Returns the current state.
        pub(external) fn get(&self) -> bool {
            *self.value
        }
    }
}

Goals

Core Goals

Ecosystem Allow for easy integration with the current Rust library ecosystem.
Tooling Make the great Rust tooling work out-of-the-box for smart contract code. This includes auto-completion, syntax highlighting, code coverage for tests, go-to definitions and other IDE goodies. These should all work without any custom configuration.
Testing Make smart contract code as easy to test as using cargo test, and make most testing be possible without a blockchain environment at all.
Building Make building of smart contract code as easy as using cargo build. This does not necessarily mean that you will be able to just type cargo build. It might need a separate subcommand.

Key Attributes

Efficient Compile smart contract code to machine code that is at least as efficient as if you used the low-level function calls directly.
Robust Make it as simple as possible to write code that just does what is expected and as difficult as possible to write incorrect or exploitable code.
Simple Smart contract code should be as easy-to-read as possible.
Accessible Make it accessible to users by providing excellent documentation and teaching materials.

Structure

Module Description
core The core utilities used to write smart contracts.
model Medium-level abstractions to write smart contracts heavily inspired by Fleetwood.
lang The actual eDSL based on pdsl_core and pdsl_model to provide a user friendly interface to writing smart contract code.
examples Features some smart contracts written for clarity with focus on teaching users how to use pDSL to write their own contracts.
