Importing Source Files in Solidity¶

It is essential to know all many techniques for importing files.

For a tutorial about importing files see this tutorial.

For a detailed explanation of the import keyword see the Solidity documentation

Here are a some of the main methods of importing a file:

Importing a file from the browser’s local storage¶

Files in Remix can be imported just by specifying their path. Please use ./ for relative paths to increase portability. _images/a-old-tuto_basicimport.png

Importing a file from your computer’s filesystem¶

This method uses remixd - the remix daemon. Please go to the remixd tutorial for instructions about how to bridge the divide between the browser and your computers filesystem.

Importing from GitHub¶

It is possible to import files directly from GitHub with URLs like https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/<path to the file>.

Files can be imported using all URLs supported by swarm. If you do not have a swarm node, then use swarm-gateways.net.
