How to set up 'Constructor' when extending multiple OpenZeppelin contracts (ERC20Detailed & ERC20Capped)

Support Contracts

How does one configure the ‘Constructor’ when calling from multiple OpenZepplin contracts, for example, ‘ERC20Capped’ and ‘ERC20Detailed’

Can you please list an example, complete noob here, but trying

Great product and forum BTW

Many thanks, Josh

Hi @Josh_Read,

Welcome to smart contract development. Everyone was new once. :smile: (What are your top three recommendations for a new developer in the space?)

Using the ERC20 Preset as a guide, ERC20PresetMinterPauser.sol, the following token can be minted, paused, burnt and has a cap on minting.

The constructor should call constructors of the base contracts (if they take parameters). See the Solidity documentation for more details: https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.7.4/contracts.html#arguments-for-base-constructors

Please note, ERC20Capped also overrides _beforeTokenTransfer .

Please note: ERC20Detailed is from OpenZeppelin Contracts 2.x and this was included in ERC20 in OpenZeppelin Contracts 3.x.

Hi @Josh_Read,

I wanted to check if you needed more information?
