Contract

โš ๏ธ Only read functions are currently supported. โš ๏ธ

  • ๐Ÿงช Contract support is experimental, do not use this in production yet. (even though earni.fi does)

Encoding support:

  • bool
  • bytes
  • address

Decoding support:

  • bool
  • address
  • uint256
  • bytes32
  • uint8

Assume all types outside the above types will break for now

import { Contract, jsonRpcProvider, JSONABI } from 'essential-eth';
// UNI airdrop contract
const contractAddress = '0x090D4613473dEE047c3f2706764f49E0821D256e';
const provider = jsonRpcProvider(/* RPC URL optional */);

const abi: JSONABI = [
  {
    inputs: [
      {
        internalType: 'uint256',
        name: 'index',
        type: 'uint256',
      },
    ],
    name: 'isClaimed',
    outputs: [
      {
        internalType: 'bool',
        name: '',
        type: 'bool',
      },
    ],
    stateMutability: 'view',
    type: 'function',
  },
];

const contract = new Contract(contractAddress, abi, provider);

(async () => {
  // prints boolean as to whether index 0 has claimed airdrop or not
  console.log(await contract.isClaimed(0));
})();

contractFunctionName(args)

Any function on a contract. Returns are the same as ethers.js, except that instead of BigNumber, essential-eth always returns a TinyBig

More Info

๐Ÿงช This repo is under active development. The API is less-fully featured than web3 and ethers. More functions added often!

Identical vs Similar vs Dissimliar {#isd}

Throughout the documentation for essential-eth, you may notice that some functions are compared to ethers.js and web3.js. The keywords identical, similar, and dissimilar are used to help you migrate to essential-eth. Here's a guide on what these keywords mean:

  • Identical -- should behave exactly like the library you're already using, except the types might be different (TinyBig vs Bn.js).
  • Similar -- can probably be used as a replacement to the library you're currently using, except there are some differences. Read the notes next to this keyword to see why these aren't considered identical.
  • Dissimilar -- should not be used in place of the function you're currently using. Read the notes next to this keyword to see why these functions aren't considered similar, and potentially learn how to alter your implementation to make essential-eth work for you.

Note: In web3.js, almost every method or function can be passed a callback. essential-eth, like ethers.js, does not include this functionality and trusts that users will rely on the much more modern promise and async/await patterns.
