ContractMetadata

__init__(metadata_dict: dict, substrate: SubstrateInterface)

Class using the generated metadata.json file to represent the metadata of a contract. The metadata_dict is parsed and the used types are extracted, composed and added to the type registry of the runtime

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
metadata_dict	dict		required
substrate	SubstrateInterface		required

create_from_file(metadata_file: str, substrate: SubstrateInterface) -> ContractMetadata classmethod

Create a new ContractMetadata object using the provided metadata_file, usually generated by the command "cargo +nightly contract generate-metadata" in an ink! project

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
metadata_file	str		required
substrate	SubstrateInterface		required

Returns:

Type	Description
ContractMetadata

generate_constructor_data(name, args: dict = None) -> ScaleBytes

Compose the data field used in the "Contracts.instantiate" call, finding the selectors and encoded the args of given constructor

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name			required
args	dict		None

Returns:

Type	Description
ScaleBytes

get_type_string_for_metadata_type(type_id: int) -> str

Adds a type included in the metadata (represented by an index in the type list) to the type registry and produces a type string that can be used in the scope of the RuntimeConfigurationObject.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
type_id	int		required

Returns:

Type	Description
str

generate_message_data(name, args: dict = None) -> ScaleBytes

Compose the data field used in the "Contracts.call" call, finding the selector and encoded the args of provided message name

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
name			required
args	dict		None

Returns:

Type	Description
ScaleBytes

get_event_data(event_id: int) -> dict

Looks up the event data for given 0-based event_id

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
event_id	int		required

ContractEvent

Bases: ScaleType

__init__(*args, contract_metadata: ContractMetadata = None, **kwargs)

ScaleType class containing information about a specific Contract Event, it decodes the "data" field in the generic "Contracts.ContractExecution" event that is triggered after a successfull "Contracts.call" call.

ContractExecutionReceipt

Bases: ExtrinsicReceipt

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Object extending the ExtrinsicReceipt containing more information about the result after submitting a "Contracts.call" extrinsic.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
args			()
kwargs			{}

create_from_extrinsic_receipt(receipt: ExtrinsicReceipt, contract_metadata: ContractMetadata, contract_address: str = None) -> ContractExecutionReceipt classmethod

Promotes a ExtrinsicReceipt object to a ContractExecutionReceipt. It uses the provided ContractMetadata to decode "ContractExecution" events

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
receipt	ExtrinsicReceipt		required
contract_metadata	ContractMetadata		required

Returns:

Type	Description
ContractExecutionReceipt

ContractCode

__init__(code_hash: bytes = None, metadata: ContractMetadata = None, wasm_bytes: bytes = None, substrate: SubstrateInterface = None)

Object representing the blueprint of the contract, combining either the code hash and metadata of a contract, or the WASM bytes and metadata

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
code_hash	bytes		None
metadata	ContractMetadata		None
wasm_bytes	bytes		None
substrate	SubstrateInterface		None

create_from_contract_files(wasm_file: str, metadata_file: str, substrate: SubstrateInterface) -> ContractCode classmethod

Create a ContractCode providing paths for the WASM binary file and metadata JSON file generated by the ink! project

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
wasm_file	str		required
metadata_file	str		required
substrate	SubstrateInterface		required

Returns:

Type	Description
ContractCode

create_from_code_hash(code_hash: bytes, metadata_file: str, substrate: SubstrateInterface) -> ContractCode classmethod

Create a ContractCode providing an existing contract code hash and a path to the metadata JSON file

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
code_hash	bytes		required
metadata_file	str		required
substrate	SubstrateInterface		required

Returns:

Type	Description
ContractCode

upload_wasm(keypair: Keypair, storage_deposit_limit: int = None) -> ExtrinsicReceipt

Created and submits an "Contracts.upload_code" extrinsic containing the WASM binary

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
keypair	Keypair		required
storage_deposit_limit	int		None

Returns:

Type	Description
ExtrinsicReceipt

deploy(keypair: Keypair, constructor: str, args: dict = None, value: int = 0, gas_limit: dict = None, deployment_salt: str = None, upload_code: bool = False, storage_deposit_limit: int = None) -> ContractInstance

Deploys a new instance of the contract after it has been uploaded on-chain, with provided constructor and constructor arguments

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
keypair	Keypair		required
constructor	str		required
args	dict		None
value	int		0
gas_limit	dict		None
deployment_salt	str		None
upload_code	bool		False
storage_deposit_limit	int		None

Returns:

Type	Description
ContractInstance

ContractInstance

create_from_address(contract_address: str, metadata_file: str, substrate: SubstrateInterface = None) -> ContractInstance classmethod

Create a ContractInstance object that already exists on-chain providing a SS58-address and the path to the metadata JSON of that contract

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
contract_address	str		required
metadata_file	str		required
substrate	SubstrateInterface		None

Returns:

Type	Description

read(keypair: Keypair, method: str, args: dict = None, value: int = 0, gas_limit: int = None, block_hash: str = None) -> GenericContractExecResult

Used to execute non-mutable messages to for example read data from the contract using getters. Can also be used to predict gas limits and 'dry-run' the execution when a mutable message is used. This method does not submit an extrinsic.

keypair	Keypair		required
method	str		required
args	dict		None
value	int		0

Executes provided message by creating and submitting an extrinsic. To get a gas prediction or perform a 'dry-run' of executing this message, see ContractInstance.read.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
keypair	Keypair		required
method	str		required
args	dict		None
value	int		0
gas_limit	Optional[dict]		None
