use-contract-tx

React hook that models the execution of an ethereum transaction into 6 stages.

Idle -> PendingSig --------> Pending -------- Success
                   \                 \
                     --> Error X       --> Reverted

The hook returns an object with one property and two methods:

const { txState, execTransaction, reset } = useContractTx();

• txState is the current state of the transaction. There are 6 possible states explained below. You can use this property to render the appropriate UI
• execTransaction is a function that takes 3 arguments
  • txRun: () => Promise<ContractTransaction> in this function you should return the ContractTransaction promise that you get when running an ethersjs contract transaction
  • errors a property that is a map from a custom error signature an object with the following interface {name: "MyCustomError", message: "Error explanation to show in txState.message"}
  • postTxHook: (tx: ContractTransaction, receipt: TransactionReceipt) => void this is a callback that runs after the transaction is mined and successful
• reset is a function that resets txState to TxOutIdle state

Example

const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
  const { txState, execTransaction, reset } = useContractTx();
  
  const run = async () => {
    await execTransaction(() => {
      // ... create a Contract using ethers.js
      // execute the transaction method
      return contract.myMethod()
    })
  }

  switch (txState.discriminator) {
    case TxOutStateDiscriminator.Idle:
      return <button onClick={run}>
        Run tx
      </button>

    case TxOutStateDiscriminator.PendingSig:
      return <div>Waiting signature...</div>

    case TxOutStateDiscriminator.Error:
      return <div>Error: {txState.message}</div>

    case TxInStateDiscriminator.Pending:
      return <div>
        Transaction pending...
        <br/>
        {tx.hash}
      </div>

    case TxInStateDiscriminator.Error:
      return <div>
        Error: {txState.message}
        <br/>
        {tx.hash}
      </div>

    case TxInStateDiscriminator.Success:
      return <div>
        Transaction successful!
        <br/>
        {tx.hash}
        <br/>
        <button onClick={reset}>Try again</button>
      </div>
  }
};

TxStates

TxState is divided into TxOuState which is when the tx was not yet sent to an ethereum node, and TxInState which is after the tx is sent to an ethereum node.

Every state has a discriminator and may have other properties so you can use it like { txState.discriminator === TxInStateDiscriminator.Error && txState.hash} in your component and render the appropriate ui. Every TxInState has the hash property and the 2 error states have the message property with info about the error that happened.
