Pact Mode for Emacs

This is an emacs mode for the smart contract language Pact.

Quick Installation

Install pact-mode from MELPA or clone this repo and add it to your load-path in your .emacs or init.el file, requiring pact-mode. Additionally, this mode has Flycheck linting support.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/[where you cloned it]/pact-mode/")

You’ll need a working Pact installation to use the inferior shell.
Prebuilt binaries are here

To enable flycheck-pact, you should add the following lines to your init.el or .emacs:

(require 'pact-mode)
(require 'flycheck-pact)
(add-hook 'pact-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode)
