@lodestar/prover/src/cli/applyPreset.ts

A Typescript implementation of the Ethereum Consensus light client

// MUST import this file first before anything and not import any Lodestar code.
import {setHasher} from "@chainsafe/persistent-merkle-tree";
import {hasher as hashtreeHasher} from "@chainsafe/persistent-merkle-tree/hasher/hashtree";

// Without setting this first, persistent-merkle-tree will use noble instead
setHasher(hashtreeHasher);

//
// ## Rationale
//
// Lodestar implemented PRESET / CONFIG separation to allow importing types and preset constants directly
// see https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/pull/2585
//
// However this prevents dynamic configuration changes which is exactly what the CLI required before.
// - The dev command can't apply the minimal preset dynamically
// - `--network gnosis` can't apply a different preset dynamically
// - `--network chiado` can't apply a different preset dynamically
//
// Running this file allows us to keep a static export strategy while NOT requiring users to
// set LODESTAR_PRESET manually every time.

// IMPORTANT: only import Lodestar code here which does not import any other Lodestar libraries
