useContractRead

useContractRead

Hook for calling an ethers Contract read-only method.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

Usage

The following examples use the wagmigotchi contract.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const { data, isError, isLoading } = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',
    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getHunger',
  })
}

Return Value

{
  data?: Result
  error?: Error
  isIdle: boolean
  isLoading: boolean
  isFetching: boolean
  isSuccess: boolean
  isError: boolean
  isFetched: boolean
  isRefetching: boolean
  refetch: (options: {
    throwOnError: boolean
    cancelRefetch: boolean
  }) => Promise<Result>
  status: 'idle' | 'error' | 'loading' | 'success'
}

Configuration

addressOrName

Contract address or ENS name.

import { useContract } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',
    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getSleep',
  })
}

contractInterface

Contract ABI in JSON or JS object format. An ethers Interface is also allowed.

import { useContract } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',
    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getSleep',
  })
}

functionName

Name of function to call.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',
    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getSleep',
  })
}

args (optional)

Arguments to pass to function call. Accepts any | any[].

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({

  })
}

chainId (optional)

Force a specific chain id for the request. The wagmi Client's ethers provider must be set up as a chain-aware function for this to work correctly.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',

    chainId: 1,
  })
}

overrides (optional)

Overrides to pass to function call.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {

cacheOnBlock (optional)

Caches & persists the return data against the current block. Data will be considered stale when a new block arrives.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',

    cacheOnBlock: true,
  })
}

watch (optional)

Watches and refreshes data for new blocks.

import { useContractRead } from 'wagmi'

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',
    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getHunger',
    watch: true,
  })
}

cacheTime (optional)

Time (in ms) which the data should remain in the cache. Defaults to 0.

    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getHunger',
    cacheTime: 2_000,
  })
}

enabled (optional)

function App() {
  const contractRead = useContractRead({
    addressOrName: '0xecb504d39723b0be0e3a9aa33d646642d1051ee1',
    contractInterface: wagmigotchiABI,
    functionName: 'getHunger',
    enabled: false,
  })
}

isDataEqual (optional)

Determines if the data has changed or not. Defaults to deepEqual.
