hardhat-wsprovider

This plug-in it is used to add getProvider function, that supports web socket providers, to hre.

Hardhat web socket provider plugin.

What

This plugin will help you with:

• If you want to use web socket providers.
• If you want to use http socket provider with different polling interval.

Installation

npm install @sebasgoldberg/hardhat-wsprovider

Import the plugin in your hardhat.config.js:

require("@sebasgoldberg/hardhat-wsprovider");

Or if you are using TypeScript, in your hardhat.config.ts:

import "@sebasgoldberg/hardhat-wsprovider";

Environment extensions

This plugin extends the Hardhat Runtime Environment by adding an getProvider function.

Here is an example to get the configured provider in hardhat network config (supports web sockets!).

// ...
const p: JsonRpcProvider = this.hre.getProvider()
// ...

In case it is used a network configured without web socket protocol, getProvider() returns hre.ethers.provider (if not configured pollingInterval), so it is safe to use always getProvider().

Configuration

This plug in adds pollingInterval to the hardhat http network (user) configuration.

In case it is defined pollingInterval for an http(s) url, getProvider() do not returns hre.ethers.provider, instead it returns a JsonRpcProvider configured with the specified pollingInterval.
