Hardhat Setup

[Sreejit-Sengupto]

I see in the Hardhat documentation, the commands for setting up hardhat has changed and the files it generates have also changed. Like I do not get any scripts folder when I follow hardhat documentation. The repo is not updated as well! Is there any better way to follow, or just go through the hardhat docs?

Hey Mate , I would suggest that we dont stick to the exact file structure that was present when Patrick made the course , also about the documentation , also the hardhat documentation might be not that updated too , because they just update the documentation when there is some ground breaking change that is happening , as for the project structure in hardhat it is pretty easy to understand , you can just create a new javascript project and go on and explore the file structure , or you can just go and create an empty hardhat config file and create all other files by yourself and it shouldnt be a problem , i have face problmes with lot of other techs used in this course as they were heavily outdated but in the case of hardhat i feel like it is pretty much the same . You can absolutly go on and do projects just by reading the documentation , if you have queries you can always search up in the ethereum stack exchange or even raise a question there .

Thanks! Yes I followed the same approach, opened the documentation and the video in parallel and sorted out the things on my own!

Yes, Hardhat’s setup process has changed, and it no longer generates a scripts/ folder by default.
Follow the latest Hardhat documentation: https://hardhat.org/.
If you're following a tutorial that uses an older setup, manually create the missing folders (scripts/, deploy/).
