Dependencies

As the Ethereum ecosystem has not conclusively settled on a Solidity package management structure yet, we support referencing any modules installed in node_modules as additional include paths for use in your Solidity imports. We see the potential for future EthPM 1.0 and 2.0 support as it appears to be the direction many new Solidity developments are looking towards.

In the parking-dao example project, we have zeppelin-solidity as a listed dependency. By listing this dependency, Chanterelle will provide a remapping to the Solidity compiler so that any imports starting with zeppelin-solidity/ will be fetched from /path/to/project/node_modules/zeppelin-solidity/.

In the future we aim to have a more clever system in place for handling this usage scenario.
