Buidler Tasks & Plugins

Ever since I migrated from Truffle to Buidler, I have found buidler plugins & tasks to be very useful in my workflow.

If you don't know Buidler, check out their site at https://buidler.dev/

Buidler is a task runner for ethereum smart contract developers. It allows you to create tasks that aid in the workflow and productivity during development.

These plugins will go in your buidler.config.js file.

The spdx-license-identifier plugin will prepend the license field from your package.json file in every contract that doesn't have one defined.

The contract-sizer plugin outputs the sizes of your contracts to the console.
