Multiple Contract Calls
You can execute multiple contract calls in a single transaction, either to the same contract or to different contracts. This can improve efficiency and reduce the overall transaction costs.
Same Contract Multi Calls
Use the multiCall
method to call multiple functions on the same contract in a single transaction:
const { waitForResult } = await counterContract
.multiCall([
counterContract.functions.get_count(),
counterContract.functions.increment_counter(2),
counterContract.functions.increment_counter(4),
])
.call();
const { value: results } = await waitForResult();
expect(results[0].toNumber()).toBe(0);
expect(results[1].toNumber()).toBe(2);
expect(results[2].toNumber()).toBe(6);
Different Contracts Multi Calls
The multiCall
method also allows you to execute multiple contract calls to distinct contracts within a single transaction:
const { waitForResult } = await echoContract
.multiCall([
echoContract.functions.echo_u8(17),
counterContract.functions.get_count(),
counterContract.functions.increment_counter(5),
])
.call();
const { value: results } = await waitForResult();
expect(results[0]).toEqual(17);
expect(results[1].toNumber()).toBe(0);
expect(results[2].toNumber()).toBe(5);
You can also chain supported contract call methods, like callParams
, for each contract call:
const { waitForResult } = await contextContract
.multiCall([
echoContract.functions.echo_u8(10),
contextContract.functions.return_context_amount().callParams({
forward: [100, provider.getBaseAssetId()],
}),
])
.call();
const { value: results } = await waitForResult();
const echoedValue = results[0];
const fowardedValue = new BN(results[1]).toNumber();
expect(echoedValue).toEqual(10);
expect(fowardedValue).toEqual(100);
When using multiCall
, the contract calls are queued and executed only after invoking one of the following methods: .get
, .simulate
, or .call
.
Using multiCall
for Read-Only Contract Calls
When you need to read data from multiple contracts, the multiCall
method can perform multiple read-only calls in a single transaction. This minimizes the number of requests sent to the network and consolidates data retrieval, making your dApp interactions more efficient.
const { value: results } = await counterContract
.multiCall([
counterContract.functions.get_count(),
echoValuesContract.functions.echo_u8(10),
echoValuesContract.functions.echo_str('Fuel'),
])
.get();
expect(results[0].toNumber()).toBe(bn(0).toNumber());
expect(results[1]).toBe(10);
expect(results[2]).toBe('Fuel');
