Icon LinkLow-level calls

With low-level calls, you can specify the parameters of your calls at runtime and make indirect calls through other contracts.

Your caller contract should call std::low_level_call::call_with_function_selector, providing:

• target contract ID
• function selector encoded as Bytes
• calldata encoded as Bytes
• whether the calldata contains only a single value argument (e.g. a u64)
• std::low_level_call::CallParams

fn call_low_level_call(
    target: ContractId,
    function_selector: Bytes,
    calldata: Bytes,
) {
    let call_params = CallParams {
        coins: 0,
        asset_id: AssetId::from(ZERO_B256),
        gas: 10_000,
    };
 
    call_with_function_selector(target, function_selector, calldata, call_params);
}

On the SDK side, you can construct an encoded function selector using fuels::core::encode_fn_selector, and encoded calldata using the fuels::core::calldata! macro.

E.g. to call the following function on the target contract:

#[storage(write)]
fn set_value_multiple_complex(a: MyStruct, b: str[4]);

you would construct the function selector and the calldata as such, and provide them to the caller contract (like the one above):

let function_selector = encode_fn_selector("set_value_multiple_complex");
let call_data = calldata!(
    MyStruct {
        a: true,
        b: [1, 2, 3],
    },
    SizedAsciiString::<4>::try_from("fuel")?
)?;

        target_contract_instance.id(),
        Bytes(function_selector),
        Bytes(call_data),
    )

    .await?
    .call()
    .await?;

Note: the calldata! macro uses the default EncoderConfig configuration under the hood.
