Utilities

The following documentation provides reasoning and examples for functions and constants found in openzeppelin::utils and openzeppelin::tests::utils.

Expect this module to evolve (as it has already done).

Core utilities

utils

use openzeppelin::utils;

Module containing core utilities of the library.

Functions

try_selector_with_fallback(target: ContractAddress, selector: felt252, fallback: felt252, args: Span<felt252>) → SyscallResult<Span<felt252>> function

Tries to call a given selector on a given contract, and if it fails, tries to call a fallback selector.

It was designed for falling back to the camelCase selector for backward compatibility in the case of a failure of the snake_case selector.

Returns a SyscallResult with the result of the successful call.

Note that:

  • If the first call succeeds, the second call is not attempted.

  • If the first call fails with an error different than ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND, the error is returned without falling back to the second selector.

  • If the first call fails with ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND, the second call is attempted, and if it fails its error is returned.

The fallback mechanism won’t work on live chains (mainnet or testnets) until they implement panic handling in their runtime.

Traits

UnwrapAndCast trait

Trait for exposing an unwrap_and_cast function to SyscallResult objects. This may be useful when unwrapping a syscall result to a type implementing the Serde trait, and you want to avoid the boilerplate of casting and unwrapping the result multiple times.

Usage example:

use openzeppelin::utils::selectors;
use openzeppelin::utils::UnwrapAndCast;

fn call_and_cast_to_bool(target: ContractAddress, args: Span<felt252>) -> bool {
    try_selector_with_fallback(
        target, selectors::has_role, selectors::hasRole, args
    ).unwrap_and_cast()
}

fn call_and_cast_to_felt252(target: ContractAddress, args: Span<felt252>) -> felt252 {
    try_selector_with_fallback(
        target, selectors::get_role_admin, selectors::getRoleAdmin, args
    ).unwrap_and_cast()
}

Note that it can be automatically casted to any type implementing the Serde trait.

Inner modules

selectors module

serde module

selectors

use openzeppelin::utils::selectors;

Module containing constants matching multiple selectors used through the library. To see the full list of selectors, see selectors.cairo.

serde

use openzeppelin::utils::serde;

Module containing utilities related to serialization and deserialization of Cairo data structures.

Members

Traits

SerializedAppend trait

Importing this trait allows the ability to append a serialized representation of a Cairo data structure already implementing the Serde trait to a felt252 buffer.

Usage example:

use openzeppelin::utils::serde::SerializedAppend;
use starknet::ContractAddress;

fn to_calldata(recipient: ContractAddress, amount: u256) -> Array<felt252> {
    let mut calldata = array![];
    calldata.append_serde(recipient);
    calldata.append_serde(amount);
    calldata
}

Note that the append_serde method is automatically available for arrays of felts, and it accepts any data structure that implements the Serde trait.

Test utilities

utils

use openzeppelin::tests::utils;

Module containing utilities for testing the library.

Functions

deploy(contract_class_hash: felt252, calldata: Array<felt252>) → ContractAddress function

Uses the deploy_syscall to deploy an instance of the contract given the class hash and the calldata.

The contract_address_salt is always set to zero, and deploy_from_zero is set to false.

Usage example:

use openzeppelin::presets::Account;
use openzeppelin::tests::utils;
use starknet::ContractAddress;

const PUBKEY: felt252 = 'PUBKEY';

fn deploy_test_contract() -> ContractAddress {
    let calldata = array![PUBKEY];
    utils::deploy(Account::TEST_CLASS_HASH, calldata)
}

pop_log<T>(address: ContractAddress) → Option<T> function

Pops the earliest unpopped logged event for the contract as the requested type and checks that there’s no more keys or data left on the event, preventing unaccounted params.

This function also removes the first key from the event, to match the event structure key params without the event ID.

Required traits for T:

  • Drop

  • starknet::Event

Requirements:

  • No extra data or keys are left on the raw event after deserialization.

This method doesn’t currently work for component events that are not flattened because an extra key is added, pushing the event ID key to the second position.

assert_indexed_keys<T>(event: T, expected_keys: Span<felt252>) function

Asserts that expected_keys exactly matches the indexed keys from event.

expected_keys must include all indexed event keys for event in the order that they’re defined.

Required traits for T:

  • Drop

  • starknet::Event

assert_no_events_left(address: ContractAddress) function

Asserts that there are no more events left in the queue for the given address.

drop_event(address: ContractAddress) function

Removes an event from the queue for the given address.

If the queue is empty, this function won’t do anything.

Inner modules

constants

use openzeppelin::tests::utils::constants;

Module containing constants that are repeatedly used among tests. To see the full list, see constants.cairo.
