In the previous example we demonstrated how you can instantiate a ScriptTransactionRequest to customize and build out a more complex transaction via a script. The same can be done using contracts, but this allows us to utilize functions available in the contract and access on-chain state. Allowing us to harness all of the power from an invocation scope and a transaction request.
This cookbook demonstrates how we can utilize a contract call to build out a custom transaction, allowing us to update on-chain state and transfer assets to a recipient address.
// #import { bn, Contract, FunctionInvocationResult };
const amountToRecipient = bn(10_000); // 0x2710
// Connect to the contract
const contractInstance = new Contract(contract.id, abi, senderWallet);
// Create an invocation scope for the contract function you'd like to call in the transaction
const scope = contractInstance.functions
.increment_count(amountToRecipient)
.txParams({ gasPrice });
// Fund the transaction
await scope.fundWithRequiredCoins();
// Build a transaction request from the invocation scope
const transactionRequest = await scope.getTransactionRequest();
// Add coin output for the recipient
transactionRequest.addCoinOutput(receiverWallet.address, amountToRecipient, BaseAssetId);
// Submit the transaction
const response = await senderWallet.sendTransaction(transactionRequest);
await response.waitForResult();
// Get result of contract call
const { value } = await FunctionInvocationResult.build([scope], response, false, contract);
// <BN: 0x2710>
