Cloud IDE is a browser-based smart contract development environment built into the BaaS platform. It covers the full development cycle—write, compile, deploy, call, and debug—without requiring a local toolchain or external setup.
Development workflow
Cloud IDE supports the following stages of smart contract development:
Write and compile — Edit your contract in the browser-based editor. After compilation, the ABI (Application Binary Interface) and compiled output are displayed directly in the IDE.
Deploy and call — Deploy contracts to a default test blockchain using a test account, then call contract methods without leaving the IDE.
Debug — Inspect return values of contract methods and event logs to identify and fix issues in your contract logic.
Save to BaaS — Save your contract project to Contract Project Management in the BaaS platform.
Architecture
Cloud IDE is a decentralized application (DApp) that communicates with the blockchain platform directly through the JavaScript SDK. This means you can connect to any target Ant Blockchain platform from the IDE—no local toolchain or command-line interface required.
