autoload(address, config): Promise<AutoloadResult>

autoload is a convenience helper for doing All The Things to load an ABI of a contract address, including resolving proxies.

Parameters

address: string
The address of the contract to load
config: AutoloadConfig
the AutoloadConfig object

Returns Promise<AutoloadResult>

Example

import { ethers } from "ethers";
import { whatsabi } from "@shazow/whatsabi";

const provider = ethers.getDefaultProvider(); // substitute with your fav provider
const address = "0x00000000006c3852cbEf3e08E8dF289169EdE581"; // Or your fav contract address

// Quick-start:

const result = await whatsabi.autoload(address, { provider });
console.log(result.abi);
// -> [ ... ]

Example

See AutoloadConfig for additional features that can be enabled.

const result = await whatsabi.autoload(address, {
  provider,
  followProxies: true,
  loadContractResult: true, // Load full contract metadata (slower)
  enableExperimentalMetadata: true, // Include less reliable static analysis results (e.g. event topics)
  // and more! See AutoloadConfig for all the options.
