@openzeppelin/contract-loader
Advanced tools
Load contract ABIs from built artifacts and return contract objects
Load contract objects from built artifacts or ABIs. Includes support for both web3-eth-contract
and @truffle/contract
objects.
const { setupLoader } = require('@openzeppelin/contract-loader');
const loader = setupLoader({ provider: new Web3('http://localhost:8545') }).web3;
const address = '0xCfEB869F69431e42cdB54A4F4f105C19C080A601';
const erc20 = loader.fromArtifact('ERC20', address);
const totalSupply = await token.methods.totalSupply().call();
npm install @openzeppelin/contract-loader
You may also need to install web3-eth-contract
or @truffle/contract
, depending on which abstractions you want to be able to load.
Contract Loader requires access to the filesystem to read contract ABIs. Because of this, it will not work in a browser-based Dapp.
Create a loader object:
const { setupLoader } = require('@openzeppelin/contract-loader');
const loader = setupLoader({
provider, // either a web3 provider or a web3 instance
defaultSender, // optional
defaultGas, // optional, defaults to 8 million
});
Load web3 contracts:
const ERC20 = loader.web3.fromArtifact('ERC20');
// Deploy contract
const token = await ERC20.deploy().send();
// Send transactions and query state
const balance = await token.methods.balanceOf(sender).call();
await token.methods.transfer(receiver, balance).send({ from: sender });
Load Truffle contracts:
const ERC20 = loader.truffle.fromArtifact('ERC20');
// Deploy contract
const token = await ERC20.new();
// Send transactions and query state
const balance = await token.balanceOf(sender);
await token.transfer(receiver, balance, { from: sender });
