useContractRead

Generic hook for reading any data from a smart contract via it’s function/view/variable name.

const { contract } = useContract("{{contract_address}}");
const { data, isLoading, error } = useContractRead(
  contract,
  "functionName",
  args,
);

If you have cached the ABI of your smart contract using thirdweb generate , the functionName and args parameters are strongly typed according to your smart contract’s ABI.

Provide your smart contract instance from useContract , a function name and the arguments to pass to the function (if any).

For example, to read the value of a view on your smart contract called getName you would do the following:

import { useContractRead, useContract } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
 
function App() {
  const { contract } = useContract(contractAddress);
  const { data, isLoading, error } = useContractRead(
    contract,
    "getName",
  );
}
