callFunction

callFunction invokes a static function on a published template — typically used to create new component instances.

Usage

import { TransactionBuilder, literalArg, Network } from "@tari-project/ootle";

const unsignedTx = TransactionBuilder.new(Network.Esmeralda)
  .feeTransactionPayFromComponent(accountAddress, 1000n)
  .callFunction(
    {
      templateAddress: "template_0x…",
      functionName: "new",
    },
    [literalArg("hello"), literalArg("42")],
  )
  .saveVar("component")
  .buildUnsignedTransaction();

Parameters

The first argument is a TariFunctionDefinition:

interface TariFunctionDefinition {
  templateAddress: string; // Published template address
  functionName: string;    // Function name (e.g. "new")
}

The second argument is an array of NamedArg values — either { Literal: string } for raw values or { Workspace: "varName" } to reference a saved workspace variable.

literalArg helper

The literalArg helper wraps a value as { Literal: string }:

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

literalArg("hello");   // { Literal: "hello" }
literalArg(1000n);     // { Literal: "1000" }
