Template Definitions

Templates are the smart contract definitions published on the Ootle network. You can query the indexer to retrieve a template’s ABI — its functions, arguments, and return types.

Get a template definition

const template = await provider.getTemplateDefinition(templateAddress);
console.log(template);

Returns a GetTemplateDefinitionResponse containing the template’s function definitions, including parameter types and return types.

Using the IndexerClient directly

For lower-level access, use templatesGet on the IndexerClient:

import { IndexerClient } from "@tari-project/ootle-indexer";

const client = IndexerClient.usingFetchTransport("http://localhost:18300");
const definition = await client.templatesGet(templateAddress);

Browsing templates

The template-inspector example app (in examples/template-inspector/) provides a React UI for browsing all templates cached by the indexer and rendering their function definitions.

cd examples/template-inspector
pnpm dev
