Chainlink CCIP Smart Contracts

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Since v1.6.0 of the CCIP contracts, the contracts have been moved to a new repository:
> chainlink-ccip.
> The EVM contracts exist in the chains/evm directory of the repository.

Installation

Chainlink-ccip relies on chainlink-evm, below are the instructions to install both.
To find the correct version of chainlink-evm to use for any given version of chainlink-ccip,
please refer to the package.json file in /chains/evm.
It contains an NPM dependency on @chainlink/contracts with the correct version for the given version of chainlink-ccip.

NOTE: while other versions of chainlink-evm may work, we only test against the version specified in the package.json file.
Audits are also only done against the version specified in the package.json file.
No guarantees are made for other versions.

#### Foundry (git)

> [!WARNING]
> When installing via git, the ref defaults to master when no tag is given.

When installing through git, it is recommended to use a specific version tag to avoid breaking changes.
The corresponding git tag will be contracts-ccip-v for chainlink-ccip,
and contracts-v for chainlink-evm.

``sh
$ forge install smartcontractkit/chainlink-evm@contracts-v
$ forge install smartcontractkit/chainlink-ccip@contracts-ccip-v
`

Add the following remappings

`
@chainlink/contracts/=lib/smartcontractkit/chainlink-evm/contracts/
@chainlink/contracts-ccip/contracts/=lib/smartcontractkit/chainlink-ccip/chains/evm/contracts/
`
#### NPM

`sh


pnpm


$ pnpm add @chainlink/contracts
$ pnpm add @chainlink/contracts-ccip
`
`sh

npm

$ npm install @chainlink/contracts --save
$ npm install @chainlink/contracts-ccip --save
`

Add the following remappings

`
@chainlink/contracts/=node_modules/@chainlink/contracts/
@chainlink/contracts-ccip/contracts/=node_modules/@chainlink/contracts-ccip/contracts/
`

> [!WARNING]
> Contracts in dev/ directories or with a typeAndVersion ending in -dev are under active development
> and are likely unaudited.
> Please refrain from using these in production applications.


The contracts can be imported via @chainlink/contracts-ccip/contracts:

`solidity
import {CCIPReceiver} from '@chainlink/contracts-ccip/contracts/applications/CCIPReceiver.sol';
`

#### Getting started with CCIP

To get started with CCIP, please refer to the CCIP documentation.

The MockRouter contract is a good starting point when developing dapps that use CCIP.
It is a simplified same-chain entry and exit point for CCIP messages.
It lives in contracts/test/mocks/MockRouter.sol.

This repository uses Solidity remappings to resolve imports,
which are defined in the remappings.txt file.

Please see the Installation section above for the correct remappings based on your installation method.

If required, you can remap dependencies used within CCIP contracts, e.g. Openzeppelin contracts,
by adding the following to your remappings.txt file:

`
@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/vendor/openzeppelin-solidity/v4.8.3/contracts/=node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/
@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/vendor/openzeppelin-solidity/v5.0.2/contracts/=node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/
`

This allows you to use a wide range of versions of Openzeppelin in your project without conflicts.

$3

We use changesets to manage versioning the contracts.

Every PR that modifies any configuration or code, should most likely accompanied by a changeset file.

To install changesets:

1. Install pnpm if it is not already installed - docs.
2. Run pnpm install.

Either after or before you create a commit, run the pnpm changeset command in the chains/evm directory to create an accompanying changeset entry which will reflect on the CHANGELOG for the next release.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
