# TypeMove
Generate TypeScript bindings for Iota contracts.
## Features
- Code generation for Iota smart contract based on ABI
- Typesafe encode/decoding, object filtering, transaction building, etc
- Automatically manage depended modules
- BCS schema (WIP)
## Usage
### Install package
```shell
yarn add @typemove/iota
```
or
```shell
pnpm add @typemove/iota
```
### Code Generation
```typescript
yarn typemove-iota [--target-dir] [--network] [--abi-dir]
```
- `location`: Directory of ABI json files or address of account to generate types for
- `target-dir`: Directory to output generated files (default: "./types")
- `network`: Network to use, could be either "mainnet", "testnet" or any node URL (default: "mainnet")
- `abi-dir`: Directory to store downloaded ABI. Only useful if is address (default: "./abis")
Use `yarn typemove-iota --help` to see detail description.
A few examples:
- generate types for an address on mainnet:
```typescript
yarn typemove-iota --target-dir=./src/types --abi-dir=./src/abis 0x1e2b124f746a339b3cf99b9f969393a96594519aafb1d06517aacfeeae20e7a5
```
- generate types for local ABI files stored in `./src/abis`:
```typescript
yarn typemove-iota --target-dir=./src/types ./src/abis
```
- generate types using local node:
```typescript
yarn typemove-iota --network="http://localhost:8080" 0x48271d39d0b05bd6efca2278f22277d6fcc375504f9839fd73f74ace240861af
```
### Decode Object
```typescript
import { defaultMoveCoder } from '@typemove/iota'
import { single_collateral } from './types/testnet/0xebaa2ad3eacc230f309cd933958cc52684df0a41ae7ac214d186b80f830867d2.js'
const res = await defaultMoveCoder().decodeType(
data,
single_collateral.Info.type()
)
```
Click to see what's like without TypeMove
```typescript
export interface Info {
index: string;
creator: string;
createTsMs: string;
round: string;
deliveryInfo?: DeliveryInfo;
}
export interface DeliveryInfo {
round: string;
price: string;
size: string;
premium: string;
tsMs: string;
}
let deliveryInfo: DeliveryInfo | undefined =
// @ts-ignore
data.content.fields.info.fields.delivery_info
? {
// @ts-ignore
round: data.content.fields.info.fields.delivery_info.fields.round,
// @ts-ignore
price: data.content.fields.info.fields.delivery_info.fields.price,
// @ts-ignore
size: data.content.fields.info.fields.delivery_info.fields.size,
// @ts-ignore
premium: data.content.fields.info.fields.delivery_info.fields.premium,
// @ts-ignore
tsMs: data.content.fields.info.fields.delivery_info.fields.ts_ms,
}
: undefined;
let info: Info = {
// @ts-ignore
index: data.content.fields.info.fields.index,
// @ts-ignore
creator: data.content.fields.info.fields.creator,
// @ts-ignore
createTsMs: data.content.fields.info.fields.create_ts_ms,
// @ts-ignore
round: data.content.fields.info.fields.round,
deliveryInfo,
};
```
### Decode dynamic fields
Get objects with specified type from a list of dynamic objects, and access field with fully typed object
```typescript
const decodedObjects = await coder.getDynamicFields(
objects,
BUILTIN_TYPES.U64_TYPE,
single_collateral.PortfolioVault.type()
)
console.log(decodedObjects[0].value.info.delivery_info?.price)
```
IDE could infer result type correctly.

### View Function
With type move, you could, call view functions and get decoded result very easily, e.g.
```typescript
import { _0x2 } from '@typemove/iota/builtin'
res = (await _0x2.math.view.min(client, [20n, 4n]))
console.log(res?.results_decoded[0])
```
Typemove's generated view function stubs wraps the `devInspectTransactionBlock` API and decode the result,
it adds an fully typed `results_decoded` field to the result object. e.g. the above `min` function generated has type annotation as below:
```typescript
module math {
export async function min(
client: IotaClient,
args: [bigint | TransactionArgument, bigint | TransactionArgument],
): Promise> {
...
}
}
```
### Building transaction
Similar to original transaction building process, but you could use generated builder function to replace the
`txb.moveCall`.
```typescript
import { clob_v2 } from './types/testnet/0xdee9.js'
const client = new IotaClient({ url: getFullnodeUrl('testnet') })
const tx = new TransactionBlock()
clob_v2.builder.createAccount(tx, ["0xd9e6dc1e7f0790c18acf96b629f0a236d56de2f96537d921197bcb0e071b12bd"])
... more tx build
client.signAndExecuteTransactionBlock({transactionBlock: tx, signer: keypair})
```
