Lesson-12 Deployment Questions

[TimeKeyRoll]

I am on Deployment section and does not understand why verify function is here on helper-functions.js instead of utils folder. why we have had to change the name of the folder since We always had verify function available in utils folder.
Plus why we are importing const { networkConfig } = require("./helper-hardhat-config")
this in our folder. Could anyone please explain this?

Hey @MasterofBlockchain concerning the utils folder, there was nothing monumental about it. I mean yes it was useful but it is not required that we have it for our project to run smoothly. In our case, we used the folder to hold simple scripts like the verify.js scripts that were kind of universal in our project. It was good because it introduced some form of order in the project structure. However, we could have just stored our verify.js script in the root folder like we have hardhat.config.js or helper-hardhat-config and we'd be fine. Also, it is not a requirement that we name the file verify.js whatever name works as is the case with helper-functions.js above.
Regarding the line: const { networkConfig } = require("./helper-hardhat-config") I think it is unnecessary in this context and has to be removed. That must have been a simple mistake. But everything else is fine.

I said we can store in the root folder not inside the helper-hardhat-config. What patrick means in the comment above is that we cannot store the function written in the helper-functions file above inside the helper-hardhat file. This is different from storing in the same root folder (being in the same folder) as I have mentioned above.

Feeling dumb after this line However, we could have just stored our verify.js script in the root folder like we have hardhat.config.js or helper-hardhat-config and we'd be fine

what i have understood is we could have verify.js either in root folder which is hardhat-config.js or inhelper-hardhat-config .. if that is not what you mean I am doomed. lol

By having verify.js in the root folder, I meant something like this.

You see our verify.js file is in the same folder (root folder) as the other files hardhat.config.js package.json and other files. That's what I mean by root folder. I hope this simplifies things for you.

I actually have had to re-read all of it again. I was confused about in or at in the folder. Got it solved. Sorry for taking your too much time on this.

It worth the time if you got to understand the answer :)
