Sunhat VSCode Extension

VS Marketplace Version Installs Rating

The essential VS Code extension pack for Web3 developers using Sunhat. Streamline your smart contract development, testing, and deployment lifecycle with this all-in-one toolkit.

✨ Core Features

  • 🤖 AI-Powered Code Audits: Get instant security and optimization feedback directly in your editor. Powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), Sunhat identifies potential issues in your Solidity and Vyper code, displaying them as in-line diagnostics.
  • Integrated Test Runner: Visualize, run, and debug your Sunhat tests directly within the VS Code Test Explorer.
  • Full Language Support: Comprehensive syntax highlighting, code completion, and error checking for both Solidity and Vyper.
  • Accelerated Development: Write code faster with intelligent snippets for common Solidity patterns and Sunhat tests.
  • All-in-One Setup: Get the most critical extensions for Sunhat development with a single install.

🚀 Features & Setup

This toolkit offers two powerful, integrated features: AI-Powered Auditing and the Test Explorer.

🤖 1. AI-Powered Auditing

Bring the power of AI to your workflow. Audit your contracts and see the results without ever leaving VS Code.

How it works:

  1. You run a Hardhat task (npx hardhat audit).
  2. The task sends your code to a configured LLM (e.g., GPT-4, Gemini).
  3. The AI's analysis is saved to an audit-report.json file.
  4. The Sunhat extension automatically reads this file and displays the findings as diagnostics (wavy underlines) in your code.

Setup Guide:

Step 1: Configure Hardhat

In your hardhat.config.ts, add an llm configuration block. You'll also need to set your API keys in a .env file.

// hardhat.config.ts
import 'dotenv/config'; // Make sure to import this

// ... your existing config

const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
  // ... solidity, paths, etc.
  llm: {
    defaultProvider: 'openai', // or 'gemini', 'qwen', etc.
    providers: {
      openai: {
        apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY || '',
        model: 'gpt-4-turbo-preview',
      },
      // You can add other providers here
    },
  },
};

export default config;

Step 2: Run the Audit

Execute the audit task from your terminal. The --format json flag is required for the VS Code integration to work.

# This will audit all .sol and .vy contracts in your project
npx hardhat audit --format json

Step 3: View Results in VS Code

That's it! The Sunhat extension will automatically detect the generated audit-report.json and display the issues. Hover over any underlined code to see detailed descriptions and AI-generated suggestions.

🧪 2. Test Explorer

Step 1: Configure settings.json

In your project's .vscode/settings.json file, add the following to connect the Test Explorer to Hardhat:

// .vscode/settings.json
{
  "mochaExplorer.files": "test/**/*.ts",
  "mochaExplorer.require": "hardhat/register"
}

Step 2: Reload and Explore

Reload your VS Code window (Cmd+Shift+P -> Developer: Reload Window). The Test icon will appear in your activity bar, ready for you to run and debug tests.
