difference between namedAccounts & getNamedAccounts

[harshuo2]

I have been curious about this since I saw this. We declare namedAccounts in hardhat config. Under that, we also declare our deployer. But when we use it in our deploy programs, we write getNamedAccounts. First and foremost, are those two things similar? If yes, why do they have two different names in two different places. But if no, how can we access an element of namedAccounts using the {} brackets?

NamedAccounts in hardhat config:
namedAccounts: { deployer: { default: 0, 4: 1, },

In deploy functions:
const { deployer } = await getNamedAccounts()

@harshuo2 In namedAccounts object inside hardhat.config you write the named accounts and set their values. And getNamedAccounts() is a getter functions that returns these written named accounts to us.

what will be the configuration for rinkeby testnet in config.js?

@deep0072

networks: {
  hardhat: {
    chainId: 31337,
  },
  localhost: {
    chainId: 31337,
  },
  rinkeby: {
    url: process.env.RPC_URL,
    accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY],
    chainId: 4,
    blockConfirmations: 6,
    gas: 6000000,
  },
},

but if i use getNamedAccount then it will not find namedAccount
in config.js.

@deep0072 add this and you are good to go.

namedAccounts: {
  deployer: {
    default: 0,
  },
  player: {
    default: 1,
  },
},

but what if i dont add these in config.js line like nameAccount?

[deep0072]

btw chain iD of hardhat is 1337. but what is the use of deployer and player. are these related to local node that is hardhat node. or something else?
