client.getEnsResolver?

Gets resolver for ENS name.

Remarks

Calls findResolver(bytes) on ENS Universal Resolver Contract to retrieve the resolver of an ENS name.

client.readContract?

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

const client = createTestClient({
mode: 'anvil',
chain: 'foundry',

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(),
})

Example

import { createTestClient, http } from 'viem'
import { foundry } from 'viem/chains'
import { stopImpersonatingAccount } from 'viem/test'
const client = createTestClient({
mode: 'anvil',
chain: 'foundry',
transport: http(),

transport: custom(window.ethereum),
})
await client.switchChain({ id: optimism.id })

client.tevm?: object & EIP1193Events & object & Eip1193RequestProvider

Low level access to TEVM can be accessed via tevm. These APIs are not guaranteed to be stable.

See

TevmNode

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
const memoryClient = createMemoryClient()
// low level access to the TEVM VM, blockchain, EVM, stateManager, mempool, receiptsManager and more are available
const vm = await memoryClient.tevm.getVm()
vm.runBlock(...)
const { blockchain, evm, stateManager } = vm
blockchain.addBlock(...)
evm.runCall(...)
stateManager.putAccount(...)
const mempool = await memoryClient.tevm.getTxPool()
const receiptsManager = await memoryClient.tevm.getReceiptsManager()

client.tevmCall?: CallHandler

A powerful low level API for executing calls and sending transactions. See CallParams for options reference. See CallResult for return values reference. Remember, you must set createTransaction: true to send a transaction. Otherwise, it will be a call. You must also mine the transaction before it updates the canonical head state. This can be avoided by setting mining mode to auto when using createMemoryClient.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
import { ERC20 } from 'tevm/contract'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const token = ERC20.withAddress(`0x${'0721'.repeat(10)}`)
await client.setAccount(token)
const balance = await client.tevmCall({
to: token.address,
data: encodeFunctionData(token.read.balanceOf, [token.address]),
})

In addition to making basic calls, you can also do advanced things like:

  • Impersonate accounts via passing in from, caller, or origin
  • Set the call depth via depth
  • Create a trace or access list using createTrace: true or createAccessList: true
  • Send as a transaction with createTransaction: true For all options see CallParams

client.tevmContract?: ContractHandler

A powerful low level API for calling contracts. Similar to tevmCall but takes care of encoding and decoding data, revert messages, etc. See ContractParams for options reference. See ContractResult for return values reference. Remember, you must set createTransaction: true to send a transaction. Otherwise, it will be a call. You must also mine the transaction before it updates the canonical head state. This can be avoided by setting mining mode to auto when using createMemoryClient.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
import { ERC20 } from './MyERC721.sol'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const token = ERC20.withAddress(`0x${'0721'.repeat(10)}`)
await client.setAccount(token)
const balance = await client.tevmContract({
contract: token,
method: token.read.balanceOf,
args: [token.address],
})

In addition to making basic calls, you can also do advanced things like:

  • Impersonate accounts via passing in from, caller, or origin
  • Set the call depth via depth
  • Create a trace or access list using createTrace: true or createAccessList: true
  • Send as a transaction with createTransaction: true For all options see ContractParams

client.tevmDeploy?: DeployHandler

Deploys a contract to the EVM with encoded constructor arguments. Extends tevmCall so it supports all advanced options.

See

  • DeployParams for options reference.
  • DeployResult for return values reference. Remember, you must set createTransaction: true to send a transaction. Otherwise, it will be a call. You must also mine the transaction before it updates the canonical head state. This can be avoided by setting mining mode to auto when using createMemoryClient.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
import { ERC20 } from './MyERC721.sol'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const token = ERC20.withAddress(`0x${'0721'.repeat(10)}`)
const deploymentResult = await client.tevmDeploy({
abi: token.abi,
bytecode: token.bytecode,
args: ['TokenName', 18, 'SYMBOL'],
})
console.log(deploymentResult.createdAddress)

client.tevmDumpState?: DumpStateHandler

Dumps a JSON serializable state from the EVM. This can be useful for persisting and restoring state between processes.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
import fs from 'fs'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const state = await client.tevmDumpState()
fs.writeFileSync('state.json', JSON.stringify(state))

client.tevmGetAccount?: GetAccountHandler

Gets the account state of an account. It does not return the storage state by default but can if returnStorage is set to true. In forked mode, the storage is only the storage TEVM has cached and may not represent all the on-chain storage.

See

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const account = await client.tevmGetAccount({
address: `0x${'0000'.repeat(10)}`,
returnStorage: true,
})

client.tevmLoadState?: LoadStateHandler

Loads a JSON serializable state into the EVM. This can be useful for persisting and restoring state between processes.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
import fs from 'fs'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const state = fs.readFileSync('state.json', 'utf8')
await client.tevmLoadState(state)

client.tevmMine?: MineHandler

Mines a new block with all pending transactions. In manual mode you must call this manually before the canonical head state is updated.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
const client = createMemoryClient()
await client.tevmMine()

client.tevmReady?

Returns a promise that resolves when the TEVM is ready. This is not needed to explicitly be called as all actions will wait for the TEVM to be ready.

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
const client = createMemoryClient()
await client.tevmReady()

Same as calling client.tevm.ready()

client.tevmScript?: ScriptHandler

Example

import { createMemoryClient } from 'tevm'
import { ERC20 } from './MyERC721.sol'
const client = createMemoryClient()
const balance = await client.tevmContract({
createTransaction: true,
deployedBytecode: ERC20.deployedBytecode,
abi: ERC20.abi,
method: 'mint',
args: [client.address, 1n],
})

client.tevmSetAccount?: SetAccountHandler

Sets any property of an account including its balance, nonce, contract deployedBytecode, contract state, and more.

See

Example

import { createMemoryClient, numberToHex } from 'tevm'
import { SimpleContract } from 'tevm/contract'
const client = createMemoryClient()
await client.tevmSetAccount({
address: `0x${'0123'.repeat(10)}`,

})

client.transport?: TransportConfig<string> & object

The RPC transport

client.type?: string

The type of client.

client.uid?: string

A unique ID for the client.

client.uninstallFilter?

Destroys a Filter that was created from one of the following Actions:

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
import { createPendingTransactionFilter, uninstallFilter } from 'viem/public'
const filter = await client.createPendingTransactionFilter()
const uninstalled = await client.uninstallFilter({ filter })
// true

client.verifyMessage?

Verify that a message was signed by the provided address.

Compatible with Smart Contract Accounts & Externally Owned Accounts via ERC-6492.

client.verifySiweMessage?

Verifies EIP-4361 formatted message was signed.

Compatible with Smart Contract Accounts & Externally Owned Accounts via ERC-6492.

client.verifyTypedData?

Verify that typed data was signed by the provided address.

client.waitForTransactionReceipt?

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({
hash: '0x4ca7ee652d57678f26e887c149ab0735f41de37bcad58c9f6d3ed5824f15b74d',
})

client.watchAsset?

Adds an EVM chain to the wallet.

Example

import { createWalletClient, custom } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createWalletClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: custom(window.ethereum),
})
const success = await client.watchAsset({
type: 'ERC20',
options: {
address: '0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2',
decimals: 18,
symbol: 'WETH',
},
})

client.watchBlockNumber?

Watches and returns incoming block numbers.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createPublicClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: http(),
})
const unwatch = await client.watchBlockNumber({
onBlockNumber: (blockNumber) => console.log(blockNumber),
})

client.watchBlocks?

Watches and returns information for incoming blocks.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createPublicClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: http(),
})
const unwatch = await client.watchBlocks({
onBlock: (block) => console.log(block),
})

client.watchContractEvent?

Watches and returns emitted contract event logs.

Remarks

This Action will batch up all the event logs found within the pollingInterval, and invoke them via onLogs.

watchContractEvent will attempt to create an Event Filter and listen to changes to the Filter per polling interval, however, if the RPC Provider does not support Filters (e.g. eth_newFilter), then watchContractEvent will fall back to using getLogs instead.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http, parseAbi } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createPublicClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: http(),
})
const unwatch = client.watchContractEvent({
address: '0xFBA3912Ca04dd458c843e2EE08967fC04f3579c2',
abi: parseAbi(['event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value)']),
eventName: 'Transfer',
args: { from: '0xc961145a54C96E3aE9bAA048c4F4D6b04C13916b' },
onLogs: (logs) => console.log(logs),
})

client.watchEvent?

Watches and returns emitted Event Logs.

Remarks

This Action will batch up all the Event Logs found within the pollingInterval, and invoke them via onLogs.

watchEvent will attempt to create an Event Filter and listen to changes to the Filter per polling interval, however, if the RPC Provider does not support Filters (e.g. eth_newFilter), then watchEvent will fall back to using getLogs instead.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createPublicClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: http(),
})
const unwatch = client.watchEvent({
onLogs: (logs) => console.log(logs),
})

client.watchPendingTransactions?

Watches and returns pending transaction hashes.

Remarks

This Action will batch up all the pending transactions found within the pollingInterval, and invoke them via onTransactions.

Example

import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createPublicClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: http(),
})
const unwatch = await client.watchPendingTransactions({
onTransactions: (hashes) => console.log(hashes),
})

client.writeContract?

Executes a write function on a contract.

A “write” function on a Solidity contract modifies the state of the blockchain. These types of functions require gas to be executed, and hence a Transaction is needed to be broadcast in order to change the state.

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

Warning: The write internally sends a transaction – it does not validate if the contract write will succeed (the contract may throw an error). It is highly recommended to simulate the contract write with contract.simulate before you execute it.

Examples

import { createWalletClient, custom, parseAbi } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createWalletClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: custom(window.ethereum),
})
const hash = await client.writeContract({
address: '0xFBA3912Ca04dd458c843e2EE08967fC04f3579c2',
abi: parseAbi(['function mint(uint32 tokenId) nonpayable']),
functionName: 'mint',
args: [69420],
})
// With Validation
import { createWalletClient, custom, parseAbi } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
const client = createWalletClient({
chain: mainnet,
transport: custom(window.ethereum),
})
const { request } = await client.simulateContract({
address: '0xFBA3912Ca04dd458c843e2EE08967fC04f3579c2',
abi: parseAbi(['function mint(uint32 tokenId) nonpayable']),
functionName: 'mint',
args: [69420],
}
const hash = await client.writeContract(request)
