Now that you know what is remix, let's quickly talk about how it works that you can add files and what

are these files that are already there.

So in the previous versions of Remix, there were no workspaces and this is kind of a new thing and

not so new anymore.

It's already there for a year or around.

But before there were no workspaces.

So what a workspace is.

Workspaces are like folders since remix is not really opening any folder on your hard drive.

I mean, you can technically I think there is a daemon for that, but internally it's kind of meant

to work around these projects and they call these workspaces.

So when you just open remix of the theorems that work for the first time, then you have a default workspace

and you can add new workspaces like new folders over here, and then you can give them a name and you

can even choose a template if you want to use one of those open Zeppelin smart contracts or just the

blank one or the default template, which is this one.

I'm not going to create a new workspace now.

I'm just using the default workspace throughout our course because I think I don't need another workspace.

If you want to create one, if you want to play around with that, fine.

The more important thing is what do you do inside those workspaces?

And that is you can create new files.

And since this is not a normal idea, like a is code or so when you can just like right click, it will

open the context menu of your browser unless you click on a file.

Then you have to, I think, select the folder where you want to create a file and then you create a

new file in there and you can name this for example, my contract dot sole for solidity file and what

will happen, maybe will happen, maybe not is that it gets directly compiled.

And you see now this is really tailored for solidity development because there is an integrated compiler,

there is an integrated test chain and it is also already highlighting solidity code.

So if you write something like a contract, my contract, and then you make curly brackets open and

closed, you see it's already highlighting the right syntax and so on and so forth.

So everything is kind of tailored around of development, which is the nice thing about it.

What happens if the contract is compiled?

It lands in an artifacts folder.

More on that later.

Don't worry about it.

And in remix, since a few version, you also have the option to script stuff because the whole thing

is JavaScript.

So it also injects a JavaScript environment.

It's JavaScript in JavaScript.

How nice can it be?

They also give you sample scripts for deploying smart contract using web free chess or ether as if you

don't know what it is.

Don't worry about it.

We are talking about those libraries later and you can run unit tests, which I never used in remix

and we are maybe going to talk about it in the course.

But normally I do testing of remix inside the Code in Truffle Hard Hat or Foundry Remix also has a JavaScript

console over here on the bottom, so it's interactive.

You can do that free for the free library, the utils stored, I don't know, a free and then create

an Kazak hash of this string that I just entered and that would be the case cache if you don't know

what it is.

Also don't worry about it.

What is important is, you know, you have to file this over here.

You have an editor on the right side.

There is also the small one over here.

Everything is there and there are plugins in remix and those plugins I the whole thing is a is a plugin

architecture.

I think even the file explorer is a plugin, but then you have a compiler which we are talking about

next where you have different versions and so on and you have a deploy and run transaction plugin where

you can actually test your smart contracts and you have a ton of more plugins if you want to, you can

go through them.

Maybe we use the debugger later and I think that's it, what we are going to use in this course because

we are going to move everything off chain of remix.

If you if you go to the settings, then in the settings you have a number of things, but if you like

there is also different themes.

So you can change the Yeah look of remix to something to your liking.

I stay with the dark theme for now, which is a total contrast to the light theme which we did in the

previous course.

In the next lecture, we are going to create the little smart contract.

We are going to start it, stop it and see how we can interact with it from within.

Remix.
