ganache-cli
There are following two distinct phases in the overall modification and writing of transactions to a ledger using Ethereum:
- The first stage is about creating a transaction and putting the transaction in a transaction pool.
- The second phase that happens periodically is to get all transactions from a transaction pool and mine them. Mining here means writing those transactions to the Ethereum database or ledger.
From this description, it would be a time-consuming process if the same process is used for development and testing purposes. To ease the process of development and test of solutions and smart contracts on Ethereum, ganache-cli was created. It was earlier known as TestRPC. ganache-cli by itself contains both the Ethereum transaction processing and mining functionality. Moreover, there is no waiting period for mining of transactions. The transactions are written as they are generated. It means developers can use ganache-cli as their Ethereum node and do not need mining activity...
