Initialize your move package

Create a new Move package

execute me!

supra move tool init --package-dir /supra/move_workspace/exampleContract --name exampleContract

This will create your project directory automatically, including a Move.toml file. This is a manifest file that contains important metadata about your package. This includes the package name, version, dependencies, named addresses, and more.

The SupraFramework dependency is automatically populated. This framework includes core components that you will interact with during your time on Supra. The framework package includes clearly defined documentation within the /doc directory for you to review alongside the Move code within the /sources directory. You can view this package here.

Move.toml

[package]
name = "exampleContract"
version = "1.0.0"
authors = []

[addresses]

[dev-addresses]

[dependencies.SupraFramework]
git = "https://github.com/Entropy-Foundation/aptos-core.git"
rev = "dev"
subdir = "aptos-move/framework/supra-framework"

[dev-dependencies]

Update the named addresses

Open the move.toml file with your code editor. You can find these files on your host machine in the /Documents/supra/move_workspace/exampleContract directory if you followed this setup guide.

For now, add the below named address to your Move.toml file and set the value to your address.

You can view the address of your profiles by executing: supra profile -l

[addresses]
hello_blockchain ="YOUR-ADDRESS-HERE"

Named addresses allow identifiers such as @hello_blockchain to be used throughout your package, rather than hard coding an address value. When compiled into bytecode, any occurrence of the identifier such as @hello_blockchain will be replaced with the value set within the move.toml file.
