Token​

Fetch fungible token metadata​

nodeProvider.fetchFungibleTokenMetaData(tokenId)

Fetch the circulating supply/total supply of a token​

The following code retrieves the total supply programmed by the token developer. Note that actual contract verification is necessary for trustworthiness.

(await nodeProvider.fetchFungibleTokenMetaData(tokenId)).totalSupply

There's no direct function for circulating supply following the ERC20 standard.

TODO: query token issuance amount in the explorer backend to provide more trustworthy information.

Fetch NFT metadata​

nodeProvider.fetchNFTMetaData(nftTokenId)

Fetch Collection metadata​

nodeProvider.fetchNFTCollectionMetaData(nftCollectionId)

Contract​

Fetch contract state​

When using the npx @alephium/cli compile command to compile a contract, it will generate TypeScript code based on the contract code. Taking the TokenFaucet contract as an example, here is the generated TypeScript code. We can use the generated TypeScript code to fetch the contract state:

import { TokenFaucet } from 'artifacts/ts' // Note that you may need to change the import path according to your project directory structure
import { web3, NodeProvider } from '@alephium/web3'

const nodeUrl = 'http://127.0.0.1:12973'
const nodeProvider = new NodeProvider(nodeUrl)
web3.setCurrentNodeProvider(nodeProvider)

const tokenFaucetAddress = 'y1btMZHTvMvHEqLTdx1JHvEXq3tmVfqsY2rwM669upiT'
const tokenFaucet = TokenFaucet.at(tokenFaucetAddress)
const contractState = await tokenFaucet.fetchState()

// The names in `contractState.fields` are the same as the field names in the TokeFaucet contract
const { symbol, name, decimals, supply, balance  } = contractState.fields

// You can also get the assets owned by the contract
const { alphAmount, tokens } = contractState.asset

Call contract method​

You can use the generated TypeScript code to call the contract methods, it is similar to the eth_call in Ethereum:

import { TokenFaucet } from 'artifacts/ts'
import { web3, NodeProvider } from '@alephium/web3'

const nodeUrl = 'http://127.0.0.1:12973'
const nodeProvider = new NodeProvider(nodeUrl)
web3.setCurrentNodeProvider(nodeProvider)

const tokenFaucetAddress = 'y1btMZHTvMvHEqLTdx1JHvEXq3tmVfqsY2rwM669upiT'
const tokenFaucet = TokenFaucet.at(tokenFaucetAddress)
const totalSupply = await tokenFaucet.view.getTotalSupply()

Subscribe to contract events​

In the TokenFaucet contract, we have defined a Withdraw event. Every time the withdraw function is called, the contract will emit a Withdraw event. We can subscribe to the withdraw events using the following approach:

import { TokenFaucet, TokenFaucetTypes } from 'artifacts/ts'
import { EventSubscribeOptions } from '@alephium/web3'

// `TokenFaucetTypes.WithdrawEvent` is a generated TypeScript type
const options: EventSubscribeOptions<TokenFaucetTypes.WithdrawEvent> = {
  // We specify the pollingInterval as 4 seconds, which will query the contract for new events every 4 seconds
  pollingInterval: 4000,
  // The `messageCallback` will be called every time we recive a new event
  messageCallback: (event: TokenFaucetTypes.WithdrawEvent): Promise<void> => {
    console.log(`Withdraw(${event.fields.to}, ${event.fields.amount})`)
    return Promise.resolve()
  },
  // The `errorCallback` will be called when an error occurs, here we unsubscribe the subscription and log the error
  errorCallback: (error, subscription): Promise<void> => {
    console.error(error)
    subscription.unsubscribe()
    return Promise.resolve()
  },
  // The `onEventCountChanged` callback is an optional parameter that will be called when the contract event count changes
  onEventCountChanged: (eventCount): Promise<void> => {
  },
}

// We subscribe to contract events starting from event count 0.
// We can also persist the current event count within the `onEventCountChanged` callback,
// allowing us to subscribe from the last event count for the next subscription.
const fromEventCount = 0
const subscription = tokenFaucet.subscribeWithdrawEvent(options, fromEventCount)

// Unsubscribe the subscription
subscription.unsubscribe()

Test functions with simulated block time​

It's possible to test functions with simulated block time in unit tests. For integration tests based on testnet or devnet, there is no way to change the block time though.

Here is a simple example:

import { TokenFaucet } from 'artifacts/ts'

const result = await TokenFaucet.tests.withdraw({
  blockTimeStamp: 1706284941000, // the unit is millisecond
  address: ...,
  initialFields: ...,
  ...
})

Log debug messages​

Ralph supports debug messages by emitting the built-in event Debug. Note that such events are ignored on mainnet.

// Simple Ralph contract
Contract Debug() {
    pub fn debug() -> () {
        emit Debug(`Hello, ${nullContractAddress!()}!`)
    }
}

// Unit test in Typescript
const result = await Debug.tests.debug()

// The following line will appear in the console output and the full node's logs:
//   Debug - tgx7VNFoP9DJiFMFgXXtafQZkUvyEdDHT9ryamHJYrjq - Hello, tgx7VNFoP9DJiFMFgXXtafQZkUvyEdDHT9ryamHJYrjq!

// Retrieve all debug messages
console.log(result.debugMessages)

Load contract/script from artifacts​

If you only have compiled artifacts and no contract/script source code, you can load contracts from artifacts.

Here's an example of loading a contract from artifacts and deploying it:

import { ContractFactory, ContractInstance, Fields } from '@alephium/web3'
import { testPrivateKey } from '@alephium/web3-test'
import { PrivateKeyWallet } from '@alephium/web3-wallet'
import { default as tokenFaucetJson } from '../artifacts/TokenFaucet.ral.json'

class TokenFaucetInstance extends ContractInstance {}
class TokenFaucetFactory extends ContractFactory<TokenFaucetInstance, Fields> {
  override at(address: string): TokenFaucetInstance {
    return new TokenFaucetInstance(address)
  }
}

const signer = new PrivateKeyWallet({ privateKey: testPrivateKey })
const tokenFaucetContract = Contract.fromJson(tokenFaucetJson)
const contractFactory = new TokenFaucetFactory(tokenFaucetContract)
const result = await contractFactory.deploy(signer, {
  initialFields: {
    symbol: Buffer.from('TF', 'utf8').toString('hex'),
    name: Buffer.from('TokenFaucet', 'utf8').toString('hex'),
    decimals: 0n,
    supply: 100n,
    balance: 100n,
    __stdInterfaceId: '0001' // the id for fungible token standard
  },
  issueTokenAmount: 100n
})
console.log(`TokenFaucet contract id: ${result.contractInstance.contractId}`)
// TokenFaucet contract id: d6b3667c6eb5fdab1856ce7bbe75406ce9543bcbc57deaabd4c521ba4fce3b00

You can call contract method:

import { addressFromContractId, callMethod } from '@alephium/web3'

const tokenFaucetContractId = 'd6b3667c6eb5fdab1856ce7bbe75406ce9543bcbc57deaabd4c521ba4fce3b00'
const contractInstance = contractFactory.at(addressFromContractId(tokenFaucetContractId))
const result = await callMethod(contractFactory, contractInstance, 'getName', {}, () => tokenFaucetContract)
console.log(`Token name: ${Buffer.from(result.returns as string, 'hex').toString('utf8')}`)
// Token name: TokenFaucet

Similarly, you can also load a TxScript from artifacts and send transactions:

import { Script, ExecutableScript } from '@alephium/web3'
import { default as withdrawJson } from '../artifacts/Withdraw.ral.json'

const tokenFaucetContractId = 'd6b3667c6eb5fdab1856ce7bbe75406ce9543bcbc57deaabd4c521ba4fce3b00'
const withdrawScript = Script.fromJson(withdrawJson)
const script = new ExecutableScript(withdrawScript)
const result = await script.execute(signer, {
  initialFields: {
    token: tokenFaucetContractId,
    amount: 1n
  },
  attoAlphAmount: DUST_AMOUNT
})
console.log(`Tx id: ${result.txId}`)
// Tx id: 27528a56ecf4993248ec9467ee1dbb6122124c677d9e0e7cc12158dec8f5b4e9

Unit Testing​

The web3 SDK generates TS utility functions for testing contracts. You can unit test a single function with ContractName.tests.functionName(params). Each test takes the current contract state as input and returns the updated contract state.

Test the same contract twice in a row​

One could reuse the returned contract state as input to re-test the same contract.

const testResult0 = await TokenFaucet.tests.withdraw(testParams0)

// the balance of the test token is: 10 - 1 = 9
const contractState0 = testResult0.contracts[0] as TokenFaucetTypes.State
expect(contractState0.fields.balance).toEqual(9n)

// reuse the contract state from the previous test
const testResult1 = await TokenFaucet.tests.withdraw({
  ...testParams0,
  initialFields: contractState0.fields,
  initialAsset: contractState0.asset,
})

// the balance of the test token is: 9 - 1 = 8
const contractState1 = testResult1.contracts[0] as TokenFaucetTypes.State
expect(contractState1.fields.balance).toEqual(8n)
