The Counter Contract
Smart contracts are put at the contracts folder. Create the contract folder using:
mkdir contracts
Placing smart contracts in the contracts folder is a convention of truffle. You can specify a different directory by modifying truffle configuration. Checkout the conracts_directory section in truffles document.
Once created the contracts folder , create the
Counter.sol file with contents below:Counter.sol
pragma solidity >=0.5.0 <0.7.0;
contract Counter {
uint32 public current_value;
function inc() public {
require(current_value < 10000, "Counter: max value");
current_value = current_value + 1;
}
function dec() public {
require(current_value > 0, "Counter: min value");
current_value = current_value - 1;
}
}
The contract code is quite self explain:
- A state variable
current_valuewhich is an unsigned integer. - inc() method, which increase the current_value by one.
- dec() method, which decrease the current_value by one.
- current_value has a bound of [0, 10000] which was checked in inc and dec methods.
Run command
truffle compile, it will find and compiles the Counter contract. you should looks outputs like:Compiling your contracts...
===========================
> Compiling ./contracts/Counter.sol

Truffle command will download solidity compiler at the first time. There could be some messages related to the compiler setup. It's normal.
