合约可以通过以太坊交易“从外部”创建，也可以从 Solidity 合约内部创建。

IDE，例如Remix，使用 UI 元素使创建过程无缝。

在以太坊上以编程方式创建合约的一种方法是通过 JavaScript API web3.js。它有一个名为web3.eth.Contract的函数 来促进合约的创建。

当一个合约被创建时，它的构造函数（一个用constructor关键字声明的函数）被执行一次。

构造函数是可选的。只允许一个构造函数，这意味着不支持重载。

构造函数执行后，合约的最终代码存储在区块链上。此代码包括所有公共和外部函数以及可通过函数调用从那里访问的所有函数。部署的代码不包括构造函数代码或仅从构造函数调用的内部函数。

在内部，构造函数参数在合约本身的代码之后通过ABI 编码传递，但如果您使用web3.js.

如果一个合约想要创建另一个合约，创建者必须知道创建的合约的源代码（和二进制文件）。这意味着循环创建依赖是不可能的。
