collaboration and contribution

Hey @PaulRBerg

A few months ago I started some Solidity development and in the beginning I found your template code to be tremendously helpful.

In the meantime I have added some extra features into my own project in terms of:

• using the OpenZeppelin contracts as a base
• more advanced test cases that:
  • asserts when errors are thrown,
  • asserts that is is the only the owner that is performing the action
  • asserts that an event is emitted from the contract method
  • etc.

which I think may be helpful to folks starting off on the Solidity development and who would like to include these more advanced features as well, but may struggle a bit to get it setup to work as such, as I had to tweak some of the src code quite a bit to work with these setups.

So this is a shoutout for a discussion perhaps if you might be interested in such a contribution to this template project.

Hey @k41p10u, glad that you found this template helpful!

As with anything in software engineering, there are trade-offs to consider when adding more complexity. One of the perks of my Solidity template is its simplicity, and I would like to keep that as such. I feel like stuffing in the OpenZeppelin contracts would be annoying for the template users who are not interested in depending on a third-party library.

However, I do agree that having more test cases would be helpful.
