Interface: TransactionBuilderLike

A builder for creating transactions. Use finish to finalize the transaction data.

Methods​

executeWithGasStation()​

executeWithGasStation(signer, asyncOpts_?): Promise<string>;

Execute the transaction using the gas station and return the JSON transaction effects. This will fail unless data is set with the gas_station_sponsor function.

NOTE: These effects are not necessarily compatible with TransactionEffects

Parameters​

signer​

TransactionSignerLike

asyncOpts_?​
signal​

AbortSignal

Returns​

Promise<string>

expiration()​

expiration(epoch): TransactionBuilderLike;

Set the expiration of the transaction to be a specific epoch.

Parameters​

epoch​

bigint

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

finish()​

finish(): TransactionLike;

Convert this builder into a transaction.

Returns​

TransactionLike

gas(objectRefs): TransactionBuilderLike;

Add gas coins that will be consumed. Optional.

Parameters​

objectRefs​

ObjectReference[]

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

gasBudget()​

gasBudget(budget): TransactionBuilderLike;

Set the gas budget for the transaction.

Parameters​

budget​

bigint

Returns​

gasPrice()​

gasPrice(price): TransactionBuilderLike;

Set the gas price for the transaction.

Parameters​

   url, 
   duration, 
   headers
): TransactionBuilderLike;

Set the gas station sponsor.

makeMoveVec()​

makeMoveVec(
   elements, 
   typeTag, 
   name
): TransactionBuilderLike;

Make a move vector from a list of elements. The elements must all be of the type indicated by type_tag.

Parameters​

elements​

MoveArgLike[]

typeTag​

TypeTagLike

name​

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

mergeCoins()​

mergeCoins(primaryCoin, consumedCoins): TransactionBuilderLike;

Merge multiple coins into one.

This method combines the balances of multiple coins of the same coin type into a single coin. The primary_coin will receive the balances from all consumed_coins. After merging, the consumed_coins will be consumed and no longer exist.

Parameters​

primaryCoin​

PtbArgumentLike

consumedCoins​

PtbArgumentLike[]

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

moveCall()​

moveCall(
   package_, 
   module, 
   function_, 
   moveArguments, 
   typeArgs, 
   names
): TransactionBuilderLike;

Call a Move function with the given arguments.

Parameters​

package_​

AddressLike

module​

IdentifierLike

function_​

IdentifierLike

moveArguments​

PtbArgumentLike[]

typeArgs​

TypeTagLike[]

names​

string[]

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

pay()​

pay(coins, payments): TransactionBuilderLike;

Send coins to multiple recipients, each paired with the amount to send.

The amounts specify quantities in the coins' smallest unit (NANOS for IOTA coins, where 1 IOTA equals 1_000_000_000 NANOS).

The coins are merged into the first one, the amounts are split off it in a single command, and each split coin is transferred to its corresponding recipient, with one transfer command per unique recipient. The remainder stays in the first coin.

All provided coins must have the same coin type. Mixing coins of different types will result in an error.

To pay IOTA directly from the gas coin, use TransactionBuilder::pay_iota() instead.

For a single recipient, consider using TransactionBuilder::send_coins() or TransactionBuilder::send_iota() instead.

Parameters​

coins​

PtbArgumentLike[]

payments​

Payment[]

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

payIota()​

payIota(payments): TransactionBuilderLike;

Send IOTA to multiple recipients, each paired with the amount to send.

The amounts specify quantities in NANOS, where 1 IOTA equals 1_000_000_000 NANOS. They are split off the gas coin in a single command, and each split coin is transferred to its corresponding recipient, with one transfer command per unique recipient.

To pay with specific coins, or with a coin type other than IOTA, use TransactionBuilder::pay(). For a single recipient, consider using TransactionBuilder::send_iota() instead.

Parameters​

payments​

Payment[]

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

publishPackage()​

publishPackage(packageData, upgradeCapName): TransactionBuilderLike;

Publish a list of modules with the given dependencies. The result assigned to upgrade_cap_name is the 0x2::package::UpgradeCap Move type. Note that the upgrade capability needs to be handled after this call:

  • transfer it to the transaction sender or another address
  • burn it
  • wrap it for access control
  • discard the it to make a package immutable

The arguments required for this command are:

  • modules: is the modules' bytecode to be published
  • dependencies: is the list of IDs of the transitive dependencies of the package

Parameters​

packageData​

MovePackageDataLike

upgradeCapName​

string

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

sendCoins()​

sendCoins(
   coins, 
   recipient, 
   amount
): TransactionBuilderLike;

Transfer some coins to a recipient address. If multiple coins are provided then they will be merged.

The amount parameter specifies the quantity in NANOS, where 1 IOTA equals 1_000_000_000 NANOS. If amount is provided, that amount is split from the provided coins and sent. If amount is None, the entire coins are transferred.

All provided coins must have the same coin type. Mixing coins of different types will result in an error.

If you intend to transfer all provided coins to another address in a single transaction, consider using TransactionBuilder::transfer_objects() instead.

Parameters​

coins​

PtbArgumentLike[]

recipient​

AddressLike

amount​

PtbArgumentLike | undefined

Returns​

TransactionBuilderLike

sendIota()​

sendIota(recipient, amount): TransactionBuilderLike;

Send IOTA to a recipient address.

The amount parameter specifies the quantity in NANOS, where 1 IOTA equals 1_000_000_000 NANOS. That amount is split from the gas coin and sent.

upgrade()​

upgrade(
   packageId, 
   packageData, 
   upgradeTicket, 
   name
): TransactionBuilderLike;

Upgrade a Move package.

  • modules: is the modules' bytecode for the modules to be published
  • dependencies: is the list of IDs of the transitive dependencies of the package to be upgraded
  • package: is the ID of the current package being upgraded

To get the ticket, you have to call the 0x2::package::authorize_upgrade function, and pass the package ID, the upgrade policy, and package digest.
