Contract Factories












4















Has there been any research into how a contract factory might be made in Michelson/Liquidity?



To elaborate, in Solidity a contract factory might look like:



pragma solidity ^0.4.8;

contract Bakery {

// index of created contracts

address public contracts;

// useful to know the row count in contracts index

function getContractCount()
public
constant
returns(uint contractCount)
{
return contracts.length;
}

// deploy a new contract

function newCookie()
public
returns(address newContract)
{
Cookie c = new Cookie();
contracts.push(c);
return c;
}
}


contract Cookie {

// suppose the deployed contract has a purpose

function getFlavor()
public
constant
returns (string flavor)
{
return "mmm ... chocolate chip";
}
}


(referenced from https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/13415/deploy-contract-from-contract-in-solidity)



This is a powerful feature in DAPP development, as it allows you to build an object oriented structure for your DAPP where requests can create new contracts. It is a well established design pattern, so what would the equivalent be in the Tezos ecosystem?

  • It appears like CREATE_CONTRACT { storage 'g ; parameter 'p ; code ... } would work, but this will bloat the size of a contract a bit, and it feels like there should be a way to handle this gracefully like in Solidity's Java style class instantiation.

  • If not, a clean example in Michelson would be nice.

There is a very succinct discussion in the announcement for SmartPy https://medium.com/@SmartPy_io/introducing-smartpy-and-smartpy-io-d4013bee7d4e#15ee.



The idea is to have a contract that holds a big_map and each element of the big_map represents a contract.



This is absolutely not restricted to SmartPy and it is directly doable in Michelson, Liquidity or Fi.
