encodeFunctionResult

Encodes structured return data into ABI encoded data. It is the opposite of decodeFunctionResult.

Install

ts
import { encodeFunctionResult } from 'viem/contract';

Usage

Given an ABI (abi) and a function (functionName), pass through the values (values) to encode:

ts
import { encodeFunctionResult } from 'viem/contract';

const data = encodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'ownerOf',
  value: ['0xa5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'],
});
// '0x000000000000000000000000a5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
ts
export const wagmiAbi = [
  ...
  {
    inputs: [{ name: 'tokenId', type: 'uint256' }],
    name: 'ownerOf',
    outputs: [{ name: '', type: 'address' }],
    stateMutability: 'view',
    type: 'function',
  },
  ...
] as const;
ts
import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains';

export const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http(),
});

A more complex example

ts
import { decodeFunctionResult } from 'viem/contract'

const data = decodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'getInfo',
  value: [
    {
      foo: {
        sender: '0xa5cc3c03994DB5b0d9A5eEdD10CabaB0813678AC',
        x: 69420n,
        y: true
      },
      sender: '0xa5cc3c03994DB5b0d9A5eEdD10CabaB0813678AC',
      z: 69
    }
  ]
})

Return Value

The decoded data. Type is inferred from the ABI.

Parameters

abi

The contract's ABI.

ts
const data = encodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi, 
  functionName: 'ownerOf',
  value: ['0xa5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'],
});

functionName

  • Type: string

The function to encode from the ABI.

ts
const data = encodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'ownerOf', 
  value: ['0xa5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'],
});

values

  • Type: Hex

Return values to encode.

ts
const data = encodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'ownerOf',
  value: ['0xa5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'],
