Hardhat SPDX License Identifier

Prepend Solidity source files in Hardhat projects with the SPDX License Identifier specified in package.json.

Versions of this plugin prior to 2.0.0 were released as buidler-spdx-license-identifier.

Installation

npm install --save-dev hardhat-spdx-license-identifier
# or
yarn add --dev hardhat-spdx-license-identifier

Usage

Load plugin in Hardhat config:

require('hardhat-spdx-license-identifier');

Add configuration under the spdxLicenseIdentifier key:

| option | description | default | |-|-|-| | overwrite | whether to overwrite existing SPDX license identifiers | false | | runOnCompile | whether to automatically prepend identifiers during compilation | false | | only | Array of String matchers used to select included paths, defaults to all contracts if length is 0 | [] | | except | Array of String matchers used to exclude paths | [] |

spdxLicenseIdentifier: {
  overwrite: true,
  runOnCompile: true,
  except: ['vendor/']
}

The included Hardhat task may be run manually:

npx hardhat prepend-spdx-license
# or
yarn run hardhat prepend-spdx-license

Files which do not contain a license identifier will be prepended with one. Files with a license identifier which does not match that which is specified in package.json may be updated, depending on configuration.
