Defined in: packages/orbit-evm/src/utils/createViemClient.ts:20

Creates a viem Public Client for a specific chain.

This client is used for read-only interactions with the blockchain, such as fetching transaction receipts or reading contract state, without needing a wallet connection.

Parameters

chainId

number

The ID of the chain for which to create the client.

chains

readonly [Chain, Chain]

An array of supported viem Chain objects.

Returns

undefined

Parameters

args

GetEnsAddressParameters

blockNumber?

bigint

The balance of the account at a block number.

BlockTag

The balance of the account at a block tag.

Default


'latest'

coinType?

bigint

ENSIP-9 compliant coinType (chain) to get ENS address for.

To get the coinType for a chain id, use the toCoinType function:


import { toCoinType } from 'viem'
import { base } from 'viem/chains'
 
const coinType = toCoinType(base.id)

Default

60n

Since ENS names prohibit certain forbidden characters (e.g. underscore) and have other validation rules, you likely want to normalize ENS names with UTS-46 normalization before passing them to getEnsAddress. You can use the built-in normalize function for this.

Example


import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
import { normalize } from 'viem/ens'
 
const client = createPublicClient({

readContract()

readContract: <abi, functionName, args>(args) => Promise<ReadContractReturnType<abi, functionName, args>>

Calls a read-only function on a contract, and returns the response.

Type Parameters

abi

abi extends Abi | readonly unknown[]

functionName

functionName extends string

args

args extends unknown

Parameters

args

ReadContractParameters<abi, functionName, args>

ReadContractParameters

Returns

Promise<ReadContractReturnType<abi, functionName, args>>

The response from the contract. Type is inferred. ReadContractReturnType

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'],

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.

Docs: https://viem.sh/docs/actions/public/waitForTransactionReceipt
Example: https://stackblitz.com/github/wevm/viem/tree/main/examples/transactions_sending-transactions
JSON-RPC Methods:
- Polls eth_getTransactionReceipt on each block until it has been processed.
- If a Transaction has been replaced:
  - Calls eth_getBlockByNumber and extracts the transactions
  - Checks if one of the Transactions is a replacement
  - If so, calls eth_getTransactionReceipt.

Parameters

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'

const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http(),
})
const transactionReceipt = await client.waitForTransactionReceipt({
