Truffle post-deployment actions

Question

I have 2 contracts that deployed with truffle. Now I extended it and my contracts require some bootstrap actions like "set some address" or "set in contract1 address of contract2".

I will not change contracts to make it dependable or mention one contract inside another. I want just to call function contract1.setX(address_of_contract2) and contract2.setY(address_of_contract1).

How it could be done using truffle migration engine (not manually)?

Answer 1

With help of Karthikeyan Thangavel and Truffle docs I finally made it works:

module.exports = async function(deployer) {
  let aInst, bInst;

  await Promise.all([
    deployer.deploy(A),
    deployer.deploy(B)
  ]);

  instances = await Promise.all([
    A.deployed(),
    B.deployed()
  ])

  aInst = instances[0];
  bInst = instances[1];

  results = await Promise.all([
    aInst.setX(bInst.address),
    bInst.setY(aInst.address)
  ]);

  const xCheck = await aInst.x.call();
  const yCheck = await bInst.y.call();

  console.log('X: ', xCheck, bInst.address);
  console.log('Y: ', yCheck, aInst.address);
};

I have a similar requirement (my contracts are named NppToken and CrowdSale), and here's how I'm handling it (note that CrowdSale uses the NppToken's address as a constructor argument):

module.exports = async function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(NppToken).then(() => {
    return deployer.deploy(CrowdSale, NppToken.address);
  }).then(async () => {
    var token = await NppToken.deployed();
    await token.transferOwnership(CrowdSale.address);       
  });      
};

You can achieve that using the promise function.

deployer.deploy(A).then(function() {
   deployer.deploy(B).then(funtion() {
       return A.setX(B.address);
     });
     return B.setX(A.address);
   });
}

Using the promise function you can do functionalities after deploying the contract. For more details refer truffle docs.
