LOoking at https://compound.finance/developers, there is ABI file for cDAI, but if I would want to develop something in solidity, how should I "import" those ABIs? Is there a way of converting those to .sol, or is there some .sol someone already did?

Nope

Abi is to interact with contracts from javascript

For solidity you will have to write interface for compound

I am surprised there is no one having written a tool to convert the ABI back to a solidity interface/abstract contract yet...

or there is?

Jul 27, 2019, 10:21 AM

I don't think such tool exist

How can you convert abi to solidity

That's not possible imo

Jul 27, 2019, 10:22 AM

if I can read and hand write, why not a machine can...

https://compound.finance/developers/abi/mainnet/cDAI for example, basicially copy paste the input output parameters, etc.

Abi doesn't has logic of underlying contracts

Jul 27, 2019, 10:24 AM

what I need is the interface

Jul 27, 2019, 10:24 AM

Just function hashes

Yupp in solidity

Maxme has done some significant work on this

oh thanks @abhi_tele !

if you told me earlier, I would have saved my hassle of writting a quick one just now

abi2solidity seems what I need anyhow

Jul 27, 2019, 11:16 AM

Admins can't be online all the time ;p

But anyhow, keep up the good work and keep sharing your thoughts here😃

Jul 27, 2019, 11:23 AM

I found everything I need about compound from the docs, but I wanted a tool like that too 🙈

Jul 27, 2019, 11:46 PM

Never knew it existed
