Lesson 10 Is there any way to import hardhat for frontend using ES6 modules

[SidharthK2]

The title says it all, I want hardhat network helpers methods in my frontend.

The most straightforward way is to install Hardhat (it is important to note that when you install Hardhat, it installs the necessary dependencies) and then importing it in the necessary files

Push to GitHub; I will try importing after cloning.

@SidharthK2 Elaborate what this "hardhat network helpers" means specifically please.

Is it the hardhat-network-helpers package? If so, you can do it as so (JS, an example to extract mine from the package):

const { mine } = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers");

If it is Hardhat, the one (Ethers) above is definitely working in your repo (I installed the Hardhat package--you did not have it, that is the problem).

const { mine } = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers"); This throws error

@SidharthK2 It is an issue on your end certainly. Why? Because, it works perfectly fine in your repo which I cloned, and essentially is the same as yours, as so:

I can push changes if you want.

One thing to note is that I installed my own node_modules, but the package.json was same so I suppose you can try cleaning and then re-installing dependencies, which will yield the same result.

The const { mine } = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers"); statement itself is correct for the use you are seeking; I do not find any other way to import this package besides this--so, the most plausible reason is you not having the dependency properly.
