[Cointerior]

Pls I need someone to explain the getNamedAccounts with respect to deployer and default in the hardhat-config file

Thanks

[paulcoffee85]

getNamedAccounts: () => Promise<{ [name: string]: string }>: a function returning an object whose keys are names and values are addresses. It is parsed from the namedAccounts configuration (see Configuration). <--- Click the link for illustration & // descriptions

deployments: contains functions to access past deployments or to save new ones, as well as helpers functions.

@Cointerior In the hardhat config file, we define the namedAccounts object, where we give names to different addresses so instead of writing addresses everywhere, we can write the alias for them.

We define the deployer object inside it and assign the first account (0) of any network by default.

And as @paulcoffee85 mentioned getNamedAccounts is a function which returns these aliases objects.
