All the Markdown files MUST be edited in english. To work locally in english:
-
Start a local server with
mdbook serve
and visit localhost:3000 to view the book. You can use the--open

To add a new chapter, create a new markdown file in the src
directory. All the Markdown files MUST be edited in english. In order to add them to the book, you need to add a link to it in the src/SUMMARY.md
file.
Do not write directly Cairo program inside the markdown files. Instead, use code blocks that import the Cairo programs from the listing
directory. These programs are bundled into scarb projects, which makes it easier to test and build all programs. See the next section for more details.
You can add or modify examples in the listings
directory. Each listing is a scarb project.
You can find a template of a blank scarb project in the listings/template
directory.
(You can also use scarb init
to create a new scarb project, but be sure to remove the generated git repository)
Here's the required Scarb.toml
configuration:
[package]
name = "pkg_name"
version.workspace = true
# Specify that this can be used as a dependency in another scarb project:
[lib]
[dependencies]
starknet.workspace = true
# Uncomment the following lines if you want to use additional dependencies:
# Starknet Foundry:
# snforge_std.workspace = true
# OpenZeppelin:
# openzeppelin.workspace = true
# If you want to use another Starknet By Example's listing, you can add it as a dependency like this:
# erc20 = { path = "../../ch00-getting-started/erc20" }
[scripts]
test.workspace = true
[[target.starknet-contract]]
casm = true
You also NEED to do the following:
- Remove the generated git repository,
rm -rf .git
(this is important!) - Double check that the
pkg_name
is the same as the name of the directory
The current book has script that verifies the compilation of all Cairo programs in the book.
Instead of directly writing Cairo programs in the markdown files, we use code blocks that import the Cairo programs from the listing
directory.
These programs are bundled into scarb packages, which makes it easier to test and build entire packages.
To run the script locally, ensure that you are at the root of the repository, and run:
bash scripts/cairo_programs_verifier.sh
This will check that all the Cairo programs in the book compile successfully using scarb build
, that every tests passes using scarb test
, and that the scarb fmt -c
command does not identify any formatting issues.
You can also use scarb fmt
to format all the Cairo programs.
Every listing needs to have atleast integration tests:
-
Integration tests are tests that deploy the contract and interact with the provided interface(s). They should be placed on a separate file/module named
tests.cairo
. At minimal make one test to deploy the contract. -
(Optional) Unit tests do not have to deploy the contract and use the interface(s). Unit tests can use mocked implementation or state to test only one specific feature. They should be placed on the same file as the example (and hidden in the book using ANCHOR).
The tests modules need to have the #[cfg(test)]
flag.
Add your contract in a different file, you can name it contract.cairo
or anything else. You can also add other files if needed.
Here's a sample lib.cairo
file:
mod contract;
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests;
About Starknet Foundry: It is currently not possible to use Starknet Foundry but we are working on it.
You can add delimiting comments to select part of the code in the book.
file.cairo:
a
// ANCHOR: anchor_name
b
// ANCHOR_END: anchor_name
c
Then, in the markdown file, you can use the following syntax to include only the code between the delimiting comments:
```rust
{{#include ../../listings/path/to/listing/src/contract.cairo:anchor_name}}
\```
This will result in the following code being included in the book:
b
To work with translations, those are the steps to update the translated content:
-
Run a local server for the language you want to edit:
./translations.sh zh-cn
for instance. If no language is provided, the script will only extract translations from english. -
Open the translation file you are interested in
po/zh-cn.po
for instance. You can also use editors like poedit to help you on this task. -
When you are done, you should only have changes into the
po/xx.po
file. Commit them and open a PR. The PR must stars withi18n
to let the maintainers know that the PR is only changing translation.
The translation work is inspired from Comprehensive Rust repository.
If you wish to initiate a new translation for your language without running a local server, consider the following tips:
- Execute the command
./translations.sh new xx
(replacexx
with your language code). This method can generate thexx.po
file of your language for you. - To update your
xx.po
file, execute the command./translations.sh xx
(replacexx
with your language code), as mentioned in the previous chapter. - If the
xx.po
file already exists (which means you are not initiating a new translation), you should not run this command.
