Typechain Polkadot has 4 main packages:
typechain-polkadot
- main package, which contains all logic for generating interfaces for contractstypechain-polkadot-parser
- package for parsing types of contracts received from metadatatypechain-compiler
- package that allows you to run typechain easily on the big projects, it automatically compiles all contracts and generates typechain-code for them.typechain-types
- package that contains types for typechain-polkadot, that are used in generated code.
If you want to use Typechain-Polkadot, you have few options:
- You can use
typechain-compiler
package, which allows you to run typechain easily on the big projects, it automatically compiles all contracts and generates typechain-code for them. - You can use
typechain-polkadot
package, which contains all logic for generating interfaces for contracts. You can use it as a library or as a CLI tool.
As was mentioned above, typechain-compiler
package allows you to run typechain easily on the big projects, it automatically compiles all contracts and generates typechain-code for them.
So let's create a simple project, which will contain 2 contracts, and we will use typechain-compiler
to generate typechain-code for them.
- First of all, let's create a project:
$ mkdir typechain-compiler-example
$ cd typechain-compiler-example
$ npm init -y
And add typescript config:
tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2016",
"module": "commonjs",
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
"strict": true,
"skipLibCheck": true
}
}
- Now, let's create directory for contracts:
$ mkdir contracts
- Let's create 2 contracts, which will be used in our example:
$ cd contracts
$ cargo contract new flipper
$ cargo contract new psp22
- Let's let flipper be flipper, and add some code to psp22. For this, let's copy code from openbrush wizard:
# psp22/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "my_psp22"
version = "1.0.0"
edition = "2021"
authors = ["The best developer ever"]
[dependencies]
ink = { git = "https://github.com/paritytech/ink", rev = "4655a8b4413cb50cbc38d1b7c173ad426ab06cde", default-features = false }
scale = { package = "parity-scale-codec", version = "3", default-features = false, features = ["derive"] }
scale-info = { version = "2.3", default-features = false, features = ["derive"], optional = true }
# Include brush as a dependency and enable default implementation for PSP22 via brush feature
openbrush = { tag = "3.0.0-beta", git = "https://github.com/727-Ventures/openbrush-contracts", default-features = false, features = ["psp22"] }
[lib]
name = "my_psp22"
path = "lib.rs"
crate-type = [
# Used for normal contract Wasm blobs.
"cdylib",
]
[features]
default = ["std"]
std = [
"ink/std",
"scale/std",
"scale-info/std",
"openbrush/std",
]
ink-as-dependency = []
// psp22/lib.rs
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]
#![feature(min_specialization)]
#[openbrush::contract]
pub mod my_psp22 {
// imports from openbrush
use openbrush::contracts::psp22::*;
use openbrush::traits::Storage;
#[ink(storage)]
#[derive(Default, Storage)]
pub struct Contract {
#[storage_field]
psp22: psp22::Data,
}
// Section contains default implementation without any modifications
impl PSP22 for Contract {}
impl Contract {
#[ink(constructor)]
pub fn new(initial_supply: Balance) -> Self {
let mut _instance = Self::default();
_instance._mint_to(_instance.env().caller(), initial_supply).expect("Should mint");
_instance
}
}
}
Alright, now we have 2 contracts, let's create a file, which will contain our configuration for typechain-compiler
:
You should be on the root of your project
$ touch typechain.config.json
- Let's add some configuration to our
typechain.config.json
:
{
"projectFiles": ["./contracts/**"],
"artifactsPath": "./artifacts",
"typechainGeneratedPath": "./typechain-generated"
}
To dive deeper into configuration, you can check typechain-compiler documentation
- And now, let's install
typechain-compiler
. Also we will need to have@polkadot/api
,@polkadot/api-contract
and some other packages installed: Add the following to yourpackage.json
:
"dependencies": {
"@727-ventures/typechain-compiler": "^0.5.16",
"@727-ventures/typechain-types": "^0.0.22",
"@types/node": "^17.0.34",
"ts-node": "^10.7.0",
"typescript": "^4.6.4",
"@polkadot/api": "^10.12.1",
"@polkadot/api-contract": "^10.12.1",
"@polkadot/keyring": "^10.4.2",
"@types/bn.js": "^5.1.0"
}
And install it with npm install
.
If you're still confused, you can check our examples in examples directory
- Now, let's run
typechain-compiler
:
$ npx @727-ventures/typechain-compiler --config typechain.config.json
- And now, you can use generated code in your project. For example, you can create a file
index.ts
:
// In this example we will deploy & interact with psp22 token to transfer some tokens to the owner and get total supply.
import {ApiPromise, Keyring} from "@polkadot/api";
import Constructors from "./typechain-generated/constructors/my_psp22";
import Contract from "./typechain-generated/contracts/my_psp22";
async function main() {
// Connect to the local node
const api = await ApiPromise.create();
// Create keyring pair for Alice and Bob
const keyring = new Keyring({type: 'sr25519'});
const aliceKeyringPair = keyring.addFromUri('//Alice');
const bobKeyringPair = keyring.addFromUri('//Bob');
// Create instance of constructors, that will be used to deploy contracts
// Constructors contains all constructors from the contract
const constructors = new Constructors(api, aliceKeyringPair);
// Deploy contract via constructor
const {address: TOKEN_ADDRESS} = await constructors.new(10000);
console.log('Contract deployed at:', TOKEN_ADDRESS);
const contract = new Contract(TOKEN_ADDRESS, aliceKeyringPair, api);
const totalSupply = await contract.query.totalSupply();
const balance = await contract.query.balanceOf(aliceKeyringPair.address);
console.log(`%c Total supply before transfer: ${totalSupply.value.unwrap().toNumber()}`, 'color: green');
console.log(`%c Balance of Alice before transfer: ${balance.value.unwrap()}`, 'color: green');
const mintTx = await contract.tx.transfer(bobKeyringPair.address, 1, []);
const totalSupplyAfterMint = await contract.query.totalSupply();
const balanceAfterMint = await contract.query.balanceOf(aliceKeyringPair.address);
console.log(`%c Total supply after transfer: ${totalSupplyAfterMint.value.unwrap().toNumber()}`, 'color: green');
console.log(`%c Balance of Alice after transfer: ${balanceAfterMint.value.unwrap()}`, 'color: green');
await api.disconnect();
}
main().then(() => {
console.log('done');
});
- To interact with our contract, we need to have
substrate-contracts-node
installed and running:
git clone https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node
cd ./substrate-contracts-node
git checkout v0.23.0
cargo +stable build --release
./target/release/substrate-contracts-node --dev --tmp
- And now, you can run it with
ts-node
:
$ npx ts-node index.ts
Whoa! We've just deployed and interacted with our contract! 🎉
Link to the full example: typechain-compiler-example
In this section we will handle smart contract events!
- Let's add
event
to our contract, so the final code will look like this:
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]
#![feature(min_specialization)]
#[openbrush::contract]
pub mod my_psp22 {
// imports from openbrush
use openbrush::contracts::psp22::*;
use openbrush::traits::{DefaultEnv, Storage};
use ink::codegen::EmitEvent;
#[ink(storage)]
#[derive(Default, Storage)]
pub struct Contract {
#[storage_field]
psp22: psp22::Data,
}
#[ink(event)]
pub struct TransferEvent {
#[ink(topic)]
from: Option<AccountId>,
#[ink(topic)]
to: Option<AccountId>,
value: Balance,
}
// Section contains default implementation without any modifications
impl PSP22 for Contract {}
impl Transfer for Contract {
fn _after_token_transfer(&mut self, _from: Option<&AccountId>, _to: Option<&AccountId>, _amount: &Balance) -> Result<(), PSP22Error> {
Self::env().emit_event(TransferEvent { from: _from.copied(), to: _to.copied(), value: *_amount });
Ok(())
}
}
impl Contract {
#[ink(constructor)]
pub fn new(initial_supply: Balance) -> Self {
let mut _instance = Self::default();
_instance._mint_to(_instance.env().caller(), initial_supply).expect("Should mint");
_instance
}
}
}
- And now, let's run
typechain-compiler
in the root of our project:
$ npx @727-Ventures/typechain-compiler --config typechain.config.json
- And now, let's add subscription to the events, so the final code will look like this:
// index.ts
// In this example we will deploy & interact with psp22 token to mint some tokens to the owner and get total supply.
import {ApiPromise, Keyring} from "@polkadot/api";
import Constructors from "./typechain-generated/constructors/my_psp22";
import Contract from "./typechain-generated/contracts/my_psp22";
async function main() {
const api = await ApiPromise.create();
const keyring = new Keyring({type: 'sr25519'});
const aliceKeyringPair = keyring.addFromUri('//Alice');
const bobKeyringPair = keyring.addFromUri('//Bob');
const constructors = new Constructors(api, aliceKeyringPair);
const {address: TOKEN_ADDRESS} = await constructors.new(10000);
console.log('Contract deployed at:', TOKEN_ADDRESS);
const contract = new Contract(TOKEN_ADDRESS, aliceKeyringPair, api);
const totalSupply = await contract.query.totalSupply();
const balance = await contract.query.balanceOf(aliceKeyringPair.address);
console.log(`%c Total supply before transfer: ${totalSupply.value.unwrap().toNumber()}`, 'color: green');
console.log(`%c Balance of Alice before transfer: ${balance.value.unwrap()}`, 'color: green');
contract.events.subscribeOnTransferEventEvent((event) => {
console.log('Transfer event received:', event);
});
const mintTx = await contract.tx.transfer(bobKeyringPair.address, 1, []);
const totalSupplyAfterMint = await contract.query.totalSupply();
const balanceAfterMint = await contract.query.balanceOf(aliceKeyringPair.address);
console.log(`%c Total supply after transfer: ${totalSupplyAfterMint.value.unwrap().toNumber()}`, 'color: green');
console.log(`%c Balance of Alice after transfer: ${balanceAfterMint.value.unwrap()}`, 'color: green');
await api.disconnect();
}
main().then(() => {
console.log('done');
});
- And now, let's run it:
$ npx ts-node index.ts
And you should see something like this:
Contract deployed at: 5Cc95McifGEqPsc9kfBNvWgAkDZeZ2BkQ5BCBXkHXmsNYavM
Total supply before transfer: 10000
Balance of Alice before transfer: 10000
Transfer event received: {
from: null,
to: '5GrwvaEF5zXb26Fz9rcQpDWS57CtERHpNehXCPcNoHGKutQY',
value: ReturnNumber { rawNumber: <BN: 2710> }
}
Transfer event received: {
from: '5GrwvaEF5zXb26Fz9rcQpDWS57CtERHpNehXCPcNoHGKutQY',
to: '5FHneW46xGXgs5mUiveU4sbTyGBzmstUspZC92UhjJM694ty',
value: ReturnNumber { rawNumber: <BN: 1> }
}
Total supply after transfer: 10000
Balance of Alice after transfer: 9999
done
Wow, we have successfully subscribed to events and got them!
Let's use previous example, but instead of using typechain-compiler
, we will use typechain-polkadot
directly.
- We need to compile our contracts:
cd ./contracts/psp22
cargo contract build
cd ../flipper
cargo contract build
- And now, let's install
typechain-polkadot
:
$ npm install @727-ventures/typechain-polkadot
- Let's create a directory with artifacts:
$ mkdir artifacts
- And now, let's copy our artifacts to the
artifacts
directory:
$ cp ./contracts/psp22/target/ink/psp22.contract artifacts
$ cp ./contracts/flipper/target/ink/flipper.contract artifacts
And metadata, but you should rename metadata.json
to <contract-name>.json
:
$ cp ./contracts/flipper/target/ink/metadata.json artifacts/flipper.json
$ cp ./contracts/psp22/target/ink/metadata.json artifacts/psp22.json
- Let's run
typechain-polkadot
:
$ npx @727-ventures/typechain-polkadot --in ./artifacts --out ./typechain-generated
Wow! We've just generated code for our contracts using typechain directly! 🎉
