Uses of different folders in hardhat lesson-6 ?

[Sairam002]

Hi all,
In lesson-6 after installing hardhat there are few folders namely tests and scripts .

Can somebody explain for what purpose scripts are used and tests are used for ?

And additionally what is the use of hardhat.config.js?

We discuss all that here in the video

But basically:

• scripts is for running scripts to interact with our smart contracts
• tests for writing tests for our smart contracts
• hardhat.config.js you can think of this as the entry point for all our scripts. Everything we do in hardhat will pass through this file, which has a number of parameters for working with our project. Like what chains to use, what editions of solidity, etc.

Let me know if that answers it.
