Manifest Call Encoder

The Manifest Call Encoder module enables the encoding and decoding of data according to the MOI Manifest specification. This specification defines the structure of routines, classes, methods, and state within logic object, allowing for seamless interaction with their properties.

Through this module, developers can encode data in compliance with the expected format specified by the logic Manifest. This is particularly valuable when preparing data for invoking routines on logic object. By correctly encoding routine parameters according to the logic Manifest, developers can generate accurate input data that aligns with the logic objects’s expectations.

In addition, this facilitates the decoding of data received from the blockchain or logic objects. Developers can decode routine call results, and other Manifest-encoded data structures, enabling them to extract meaningful information. This capability greatly aids in the efficient processing and interpretation of data obtained from the MOI network.

ManifestCoder

ManifestCoder is a class that provides encoding and decoding functionality for Manifest Call Encoder. It allows encoding manifests and arguments, as well as decoding output, exceptions and logic states based on both predefined and runtime schema.

// Example
import { ManifestCoder } from "js-moi-sdk";

const manifest = { ... }
const manifestCoder = new ManifestCoder(manifest);

Methods

static encodeManifest(manifest)

Encodes a logic manifest into POLO format. The manifest is processed and serialized according to the predefined schema. Returns the POLO-encoded data as a hexadecimal string prefixed with “0x”.

Arguments:

  • manifest (LogicManifest.Manifest) – The logic manifest to encode.

Returns:

string – The POLO-encoded data.

// Example
const encodedManifest = ManifestCoder.encodeManifest(manifest)
console.log(encodedManifest)

>> "0x0e4f065...50000"
encodeArguments(fields, args)

Encodes the provided arguments based on the given manifest routine parameters and its types (the accepts property in routine).

The arguments are mapped to their corresponding fields, and the calldata is generated by parsing and encoding the arguments based on the dynamically created schema from fields.

Arguments:

  • fields (Array.<LogicManifest.TypeField>|string) – The fields associated with the routine parameters (arguments) or the name of the routine.

  • args (Array.<any>) – The arguments to encode.

Returns:

string – The POLO-encoded calldata as a hexadecimal string prefixed with “0x”.

// Example
const args = ["MOI", 100_000_000];
const calldata = manifestCoder.encodeArguments("Seeder", args);

console.log(calldata)

>> "0x0d6f0665...d4f49"
decodeOutput(output, fields)

Decodes the output data returned from a logic routine call. The output data is decoded using the provided fields and schema. Returns the decoded output data as an unknown type, or null if the output is empty.

Arguments:

  • output (string) – The output data to decode, represented as a hexadecimal string prefixed with “0x”.

  • fields (string) – The name of the routine associated with the output data.

Returns:

T|null – The decoded output data, or null if the output is empty.

// Example
const callsite = "BalanceOf";
const output = "0x0e1f0305f5e100";
const args = manifestCoder.decodeOutput(callsite, output);

console.log(decodedOutput);

>> { balance: 100000000 }
static decodeException(error)

Decodes an exception thrown by a logic routine call. The exception data is decoded using the predefined exception schema. Returns the decoded exception object, or null if the error is empty.

Arguments:

  • error (string) – The error data to decode, represented as a hexadecimal string prefixed with “0x”.

Returns:

Exception|null – The decoded exception object, or null if the error is empty.

// Example
const error = "0x0e6f0666d104de04737472696e67696e73756666696369656e742062616c616e636520666f722073656e6465723f06e60172756e74696d652e726f6f742829726f7574696e652e5472616e736665722829205b3078635d202e2e2e205b307831623a205448524f57203078355d";

const exception = ManifestCoder.decodeException(error);

console.log(exception)

        class: "string",
        error: "insufficient balance for sender",
        revert: false,
        trace: [
            "runtime.root()",
            "routine.Transfer() [0xc] ... [0x1b: THROW 0x5]"
        ],
    }
decodeState(data, field, fields)

Decodes a specific state field from the data retrieved from a logic. The state data is decoded using the provided fields and schema. Returns the decoded value of the specified field, or null if the data is empty.

Arguments:

  • field (string) – The field to be decoded from the state data.

  • fields (Array.<LogicManifest.TypeField>) – The fields associated with the state data.

Returns:

unknown|null – The decoded value of the specified field, or null if the data is empty.

// Example
const data = "0x064c4f4749432d546f6b656e";

const state = manifest.elements.find(element =>
    element.kind === "state"
)

const output = manifestCoder.decodeState(data, "name", state.data.fields)
console.log(output)

>> "RIO"

Schema

Schema is a class that provides schema parsing functionality for encoding and decoding manifest, arguments, logic states and other data based on a predefined schema. It supports parsing fields and generating a schema for decoding purposes.

// Example
const manifest = { ... }
const elements = new Map();
const classDefs = new Map();

manifest.elements.forEach(element => {
    elements.set(element.ptr, element);

    if(element.kind === "class") {
        classDefs.set(element.data.name, element.ptr);
    }
})

const schema = new Schema(elements, classDefs);

Methods

parseFields(fields)

Parses an array of fields and generates the schema based on the fields.

Arguments:

  • fields (Array.<LogicManifest.TypeField>) – The array of fields.

Throws:

Error – If the fields are invalid or contain unsupported data types.

Returns:

PoloSchema – The generated schema based on the fields.

// Example
const routine = manifest.elements.find(element =>
    // BalanceOf is the name of a routine which is available in the manifest
    element.data.name === "BalanceOf"
)
const fields = routine.data.accepts ? routine.data.accepts : [];
const routineSchema = schema.parseFields(fields)

console.log(routineSchema)

>> { kind: "struct", fields: { addr: { kind: "bytes" } } }
