Can we use Solidity with NodeJS?

Question

I want to develop a blockchain system with smart contract using NodeJs for blockchain and Solidity for smart contract, i Google'd this but i found no answer ?

actually, i developped a blockchain system using javascript and new langage for smart contract, but this langage doesn't contain a lot of instruction so using solidity will be very useful, i wonder if possible to user solidity on blockchain chains which are developped by javascript ?

And if there is any post contains a description of how using that. Thanks you in advance.

Yes you can, you use truffle to compile to contract to JSON file and then import it to your Javascript code and use it.

https://www.trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/getting-started/compiling-contracts

• First, you truffle compile to generate your json file
• Import the json file to your code
• const your_contract = web3.eth.contract(contract.json.abi)
• const contract = your_contract.at(<your_contract_address)

And then after that, you can use your contract's methods. contract.<your_function>
