ABI management

EthContracts abstracts the ABI from the contracts implementation and internally manages ABI. This makes interacting with contracts class easy and user friendly.

All ABI are stored on github and fetched on demand and also cached. Here is github link - ABI storage

ABIManager​

ABIManager is a special class which manages the abi. It has two methods -

  1. getABI
  2. setABI

getABI​

getABI fetches abi from cdn or cache (if already fetched). It takes contract name as input.

import { ABIManager } from "@ethcontracts/core";
const abi = await ABIManager.getABI("erc20");

setABI​

setABI is used to set the ABI. It stores the ABI in cache and when getABI will be called the ABI are served from the cache saved by setABI.

It takes two parameter - contractName and ABI

import { ABIManager } from "@ethcontracts/core";
const abi = await ABIManager.setABI("erc20", abi);
