## BurnMintERC677Helper

[`BurnMintERC677Helper`](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-local/blob/ba1f4636e657f161df634379a5057a5a394e2fbb/src/ccip/BurnMintERC677Helper.sol) is a helper contract that extends the BurnMintERC677 token implementation. It provides simplified functionality for minting tokens, primarily intended for testing and development environments.

> **NOTE**
>
> This contract inherits from BurnMintERC677, which implements the ERC677 token standard with burn and mint
> capabilities.
