Encoding and decoding are done as per the fuel spec . To this end, fuels
makes use of the ABIEncoder
and the ABIDecoder
.
To encode a type, you must first convert it into a Token
. This is commonly done by implementing the Tokenizable
trait.
To decode, you also need to provide a ParamType
describing the schema of the type in question. This is commonly done by implementing the Parameterize trait.
All types generated by the abigen!
macro implement both the Tokenizable
and Parameterize
traits.
fuels
also contains implementations for:
Tokenizable
for the fuels
-owned types listed here as well as for some foreign types (such as u8
, u16
, std::vec::Vec<T: Tokenizable>
, etc.). Parameterize
for the fuels
-owned types listed here as well as for some foreign types (such as u8
, u16
, std::vec::Vec<T: Parameterize>
, etc.). Both Tokenizable
and Parameterize
can be derived for struct
s and enum
s if all inner types implement the derived traits:
use fuels::macros::{Parameterize, Tokenizable};
#[derive(Parameterize, Tokenizable)]
struct MyStruct {
field_a: u8,
}
#[derive(Parameterize, Tokenizable)]
enum SomeEnum {
A(MyStruct),
B(Vec<u64>),
}
Note: Deriving
Tokenizable
onenum
s requires that all variants also implementParameterize
.
The derived code expects that the fuels
package is accessible through ::fuels
. If this is not the case then the derivation macro needs to be given the locations of fuels::types
and fuels::core
.
#[derive(Parameterize, Tokenizable)]
#[FuelsCorePath = "fuels_core_elsewhere"]
#[FuelsTypesPath = "fuels_types_elsewhere"]
pub struct SomeStruct {
field_a: u64,
}
If you want no-std
generated code:
use fuels::macros::{Parameterize, Tokenizable};
#[derive(Parameterize, Tokenizable)]
#[NoStd]
pub struct SomeStruct {
field_a: u64,
}
