Libraries in Solidity.

When you need to share code between Solidity Contracts, it's time to utilize Libraries.

Libraries are a great place to store functions that are common to many Smart Contracts. These functions can range from re-usable math functions to contract patterns and permissions.

Using libraries can:

Reduce new code, limiting the opportunity for bugs.

Save development time by not re-inventing the wheel.

Secure your contracts with audited code and best practices.

*Save gas on deployments by making use of already deployed code.

*Saving gas depends on how you use the library. Libraries can be deployed on their own, like contracts, and they can also be compiled into the contract bytecode directly.
