Using Strings for uint256 not working with ERC721EnumerableUpgradeable

Question

just like the title says I cannot get using Strings to compile, I keep getting the identifier not found. This is the start of my .sol contract

import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/token/ERC721/extensions/ERC721EnumerableUpgradeable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/access/OwnableUpgradeable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/proxy/utils/Initializable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/utils/StringsUpgradeable.sol";

contract NFT is Initializable, StringsUpgradeable, ERC721EnumerableUpgradeable, OwnableUpgradeable {
using Strings for uint256;

Please help!

Thank you!

Have you tried to construct it as solidity object? Im sorry, but this is not a clean code and lacks lots of valuable pieces. — Mabadai, Dec 13 '21 at 23:18

The imported StringsUpgradeable.sol file contains a library named StringsUpgradeable - not Strings.

Also, since it's a library, it cannot be inherited from, so you need to remove it from the list of the NFT parents.

pragma solidity ^0.8;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/token/ERC721/extensions/ERC721EnumerableUpgradeable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/access/OwnableUpgradeable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/proxy/utils/Initializable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/utils/StringsUpgradeable.sol";

// removed `StringsUpgradable` from the parents list
contract NFT is Initializable, ERC721EnumerableUpgradeable, OwnableUpgradeable {

    // replaced `Strings` to `StringsUpgradable`
    using StringsUpgradeable for uint256; 
}

Hey man just noticed you've answered multiple questions of mine, thanks a lot you are a lifesaver! — ThomasDEV, Jun 10 '22 at 00:06
