Basic deployment script used in a Buidler project

deploymentScript.ts

// We require the Buidler Runtime Environment explicitly here. This is optional
// but useful for running the script in a standalone fashion through `node <script>`.
// When running the script with `buidler run <script>` you'll find the Buidler
// Runtime Environment's members available in the global scope.
import bre from "@nomiclabs/buidler";
import { Contract, ContractFactory } from "ethers";

async function main(): Promise<void> {
  // Buidler always runs the compile task when running scripts through it.
  // If this runs in a standalone fashion you may want to call compile manually
  // to make sure everything is compiled
  // await bre.run('compile');

  // We get the contract to deploy
  const Greeter: ContractFactory = await bre.ethers.getContract("Greeter");
  const greeter: Contract = await Greeter.deploy("Hello, Buidler!");
  await greeter.deploy();

  console.log("Greeter deployed to: ", greeter.address);
}

// We recommend this pattern to be able to use async/await everywhere
// and properly handle errors.
main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error: Error) => {
    console.error({ error });
    process.exit(1);
  });
