abigen
abigen! is a procedural macro -- it generates code. It accepts inputs in the format of:
ProgramType(name="MyProgramType", abi="my_program-abi.json")...
where:
-
ProgramTypeis one of:Contract,ScriptorPredicate, -
nameis the name that will be given to the generated bindings, -
abiis either a path to the JSON ABI file or its actual contents.
So, an abigen! which generates bindings for two contracts and one script looks like this:
abigen!(
Contract(
name = "ContractA",
abi = "e2e/sway/bindings/sharing_types/contract_a/out/release/contract_a-abi.json"
),
Contract(
name = "ContractB",
abi = "e2e/sway/bindings/sharing_types/contract_b/out/release/contract_b-abi.json"
),
Script(
name = "MyScript",
abi = "e2e/sway/scripts/arguments/out/release/arguments-abi.json"
),
Predicate(
name = "MyPredicateEncoder",
abi = "e2e/sway/predicates/basic_predicate/out/release/basic_predicate-abi.json"
),
);
How does the generated code look?
A rough overview:
pub mod abigen_bindings {
pub mod contract_a_mod {
struct SomeCustomStruct{/*...*/};
// other custom types used in the contract
struct ContractA {/*...*/};
impl ContractA {/*...*/};
// ...
}
pub mod contract_b_mod {
// ...
}
pub mod my_script_mod {
// ...
}
pub mod my_predicate_mod{
// ...
}
pub mod shared_types{
// ...
}
}
pub use contract_a_mod::{/*..*/};
pub use contract_b_mod::{/*..*/};
pub use my_predicate_mod::{/*..*/};
pub use shared_types::{/*..*/};
Each ProgramType gets its own mod based on the name given in the abigen!. Inside the respective mods, the custom types used by that program are generated, and the bindings through which the actual calls can be made.
One extra mod called shared_types is generated if abigen! detects that the given programs share types. Instead of each mod regenerating the type for itself, the type is lifted out into the shared_types module, generated only once, and then shared between all program bindings that use it. Reexports are added to each mod so that even if a type is deemed shared, you can still access it as though each mod had generated the type for itself (i.e. my_contract_mod::SharedType).
A type is deemed shared if its name and definition match up. This can happen either because you've used the same library (a custom one or a type from the stdlib) or because you've happened to define the exact same type.
Finally, pub use statements are inserted, so you don't have to fully qualify the generated types. To avoid conflict, only types that have unique names will get a pub use statement. If you find rustc can't find your type, it might just be that there is another generated type with the same name. To fix the issue just qualify the path by doing abigen_bindings::whatever_contract_mod::TheType.
Note: It is highly encouraged that you generate all your bindings in one
abigen!call. Doing it in this manner will allow type sharing and avoid name collisions you'd normally get when callingabigen!multiple times inside the same namespace. If you choose to proceed otherwise, keep in mind the generated code overview presented above and appropriately separate theabigen!calls into different modules to resolve the collision.
Using the bindings
Let's look at a contract with two methods: initialize_counter(arg: u64) -> u64 and increment_counter(arg: u64) -> u64, with the following JSON ABI:
{
"programType": "contract",
"specVersion": "1",
"encodingVersion": "1",
"concreteTypes": [
{
"concreteTypeId": "1506e6f44c1d6291cdf46395a8e573276a4fa79e8ace3fc891e092ef32d1b0a0",
"type": "u64"
}
],
"functions": [
{

"concreteTypeId": "1506e6f44c1d6291cdf46395a8e573276a4fa79e8ace3fc891e092ef32d1b0a0"
}
],
"name": "initialize_counter",
"output": "1506e6f44c1d6291cdf46395a8e573276a4fa79e8ace3fc891e092ef32d1b0a0"

"metadataTypes": []

By doing this:
use fuels::prelude::*;
// Replace with your own JSON abi path (relative to the root of your crate)
abigen!(Contract(
name = "MyContractName",
abi = "examples/rust_bindings/src/abi.json"
));
or this:
use fuels::prelude::*;
abigen!(Contract(
name = "MyContract",
abi = r#"

Then, you're able to use it to call the actual methods on the deployed contract:
// This will generate your contract's methods onto `MyContract`.
// This means an instance of `MyContract` will have access to all
// your contract's methods that are running on-chain!
abigen!(Contract(
