readContract()

readContract: <abi, functionName, args>(args) => Promise<ReadContractReturnType<abi, functionName, args>>

Calls a read-only function on a contract, and returns the response.

Remarks

A “read-only” function (constant function) on a Solidity contract is denoted by a view or pure keyword. They can only read the state of the contract, and cannot make any changes to it. Since read-only methods do not change the state of the contract, they do not require any gas to be executed, and can be called by any user without the need to pay for gas.

Internally, uses a Public Client to call the call action with ABI-encoded data.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http, parseAbi } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
import { readContract } from 'viem/contract'


const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http(),
})
const result = await client.readContract({
  address: '0xFBA3912Ca04dd458c843e2EE08967fC04f3579c2',
  abi: parseAbi(['function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)']),
  functionName: 'balanceOf',
  args: ['0xA0Cf798816D4b9b9866b5330EEa46a18382f251e'],
})
// 424122n

Type parameters

• abi extends Abi | readonly unknown[]

• functionName extends string

• args extends unknown

Request function wrapped with friendly error handling

sendRawTransaction()

sendRawTransaction: (args) => Promise<`0x${string}`>

Sends a signed transaction to the network

Example

import { createWalletClient, custom } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
import { sendRawTransaction } from 'viem/wallet'


const client = createWalletClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: custom(window.ethereum),
})


const hash = await client.sendRawTransaction({
  serializedTransaction: '0x02f850018203118080825208808080c080a04012522854168b27e5dc3d5839bab5e6b39e1a0ffd343901ce1622e3d64b48f1a04e00902ae0502c4728cbf12156290df99c3ed7de85b1dbfe20b5c36931733a33'
})

Parameters

• args: SendRawTransactionParameters

Returns

simulateContract()

simulateContract: <abi, functionName, args, chainOverride, accountOverride>(args) => Promise<SimulateContractReturnType<abi, functionName, args, undefined | Chain, undefined | Account, chainOverride, accountOverride>>

Simulates/validates a contract interaction. This is useful for retrieving return data and revert reasons of contract write functions.

Remarks

This function does not require gas to execute and does not change the state of the blockchain. It is almost identical to readContract, but also supports contract write functions.

Internally, uses a Public Client to call the call action with ABI-encoded data.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'


const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http(),
})
const result = await client.simulateContract({
  address: '0xFBA3912Ca04dd458c843e2EE08967fC04f3579c2',
  abi: parseAbi(['function mint(uint32) view returns (uint32)']),
  functionName: 'mint',
  args: ['69420'],
  account: '0xA0Cf798816D4b9b9866b5330EEa46a18382f251e',
})

Type parameters

• abi extends Abi | readonly unknown[]

• functionName extends string

• args extends unknown

• chainOverride extends undefined | Chain

• accountOverride extends undefined | `0x${string}` | Account = undefined

Parameters

• args: SimulateContractParameters<abi, functionName, args, undefined | Chain, chainOverride, accountOverride>

const filter = await client.createPendingTransactionFilter()
const uninstalled = await client.uninstallFilter({ filter })
// true

Ethereum address to check against.

• args.blockNumber?: bigint

The balance of the account at a block number.

waitForTransactionReceipt()

waitForTransactionReceipt: (args) => Promise<TransactionReceipt>

Waits for the Transaction to be included on a Block (one confirmation), and then returns the Transaction Receipt. If the Transaction reverts, then the action will throw an error.

Remarks

The waitForTransactionReceipt action additionally supports Replacement detection (e.g. sped up Transactions).

Transactions can be replaced when a user modifies their transaction in their wallet (to speed up or cancel). Transactions are replaced when they are sent from the same nonce.

There are 3 types of Transaction Replacement reasons:

  • repriced: The gas price has been modified (e.g. different maxFeePerGas)
  • cancelled: The Transaction has been cancelled (e.g. value === 0n)
  • replaced: The Transaction has been replaced (e.g. different value or data)

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'


const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http(),
})
const transactionReceipt = await client.waitForTransactionReceipt({
