@permaweb/hyperbeam-loader v0.0.3

ao Wasm Loader

This module takes an ao Wasm ArrayBuffer and returns a handle function, that given SmartWeaveContract inputs, will produce a result.

The handle function can be invoked just like any other SmartWeaveContract

Usage

The @permaweb/ao-loader MUST receive an ArrayBuffer that contains the Wasm to be invoked:

import AoLoader from "@permaweb/ao-loader";

/* SmartWeave READ-ONLY Env Variables */
const SmartWeave = {
  transaction: {
    id: "1",
  },
};

// Create the handle function that executes the Wasm
const handle = AoLoader(wasmBinary);

// Now invoke the handle
const result = await handle({ balances: 1 }, {
  caller: "1",
  input: { function: "balance" },
}, SmartWeave);

Using a File

You can use fs to a load a Wasm file from the local filesystem as a Node Buffer. Since a Node Buffer implements ArrayBuffer, it can be passed directly to the AoLoader directly!

To get back a Node Buffer, make sure to NOT pass an encoding parameter to readFile

import AoLoader from "@permaweb/ao-loader";
import fs from "fs";

async function main() {
  const wasmBinary = fs.readFileSync("contract.wasm");
  const handle = AoLoader(wasmBinary);
  const result = await handle(...);
}

Using fetch

You can also use native fetch to retrieve the Wasm as an ArrayBuffer. This is great if you're fetching a Wasm contract published on Arweave:

import AoLoader from "@permaweb/ao-loader";

async function main() {
  const tx_id = '...'
  const wasmBinary = await fetch(`https://arweave.net/${tx_id}`)
    .then(res => res.arrayBuffer())
  const handle = AoLoader(wasmBinary);
  const result = await handle(...)
}
