Introduce the autoCost helper for transaction requests #3535
Closed
Description
#3495 proposes a way of optimising perceived transaction speed through pre-bundling dependencies. However, as shown in #3513 this process can be simplified.
Currently, costing and funding transaction request looks like:
const txRequest = new ScriptTransactionRequest();
const txCost = await wallet.getTransactionCost(txRequest);
txRequest.maxFee = txCost.maxFee;
txRequest.gasLimit = txCost.gasUsed;
await wallet.fund(txRequest, txCost);
const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction(txRequest);
await tx.waitForResult();This process is neater with a contract call:
const call = contract.functions.echo_b256(ADDRESS_B256);
const txRequest = await call.fundWithRequiredCoins();
const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction(txRequest);
await tx.waitForResult();We should implement the following:
- Introduce a method (e.g.
autoCost) purely for transaction requests that can cost and fund a transaction in a single call - Have parity between tx requests and contract calls for this flow
The proposed API would then look as follows:
const txRequest = new ScriptTransactionRequest().autoCost(wallet);
const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction(txRequest);
await tx.waitForResult();
