useContractEvents

Defined in

Hook for reading events emitted by a smart contract, including new events as they are emitted (optional).

By default, it reads all events emitted by the smart contract.

Example

import { useContractEvents, useContract } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
 
function App() {
  const { contract } = useContract(contractAddress);
  const { data, isLoading, error } = useContractEvents(contract);
}
function useContractEvents(
  contract: RequiredParam<ValidContractInstance>,
  eventName?: string,
  options: {
    queryFilter?: EventQueryOptions<Record<string, any>>;
    subscribe?: boolean;
  },
): UseQueryResult<Array<ContractEvent<Record<string, any>>>, unknown>;

Parameters

The contract instance of the contract to listen to events for

Type

let contract: RequiredParam<ValidContractInstance>;

The name of the event to query for.

For example, if your smart contract emits an event called MyEvent , you would pass "MyEvent" to this parameter.

Omit this parameter or provide undefined to query for all events emitted by the smart contract.

Type

let eventName: string;

An object containing options to filter the events being queried.

Available options include

  • queryFilter to refine which events you want to read,

  • a boolean subscribe flag to subscribe to new events as they are emitted.

Example

import {
  useContractEvents,
  useContract,
  Web3Button,
} from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
 
function App() {
  const { contract } = useContract(contractAddress);
  const { data, isLoading, error } = useContractEvents(
    contract,
    "MyEvent",
    {
      queryFilter: {
        filters: {
          tokenId: 123, // e.g. Only events where tokenId = 123
        },
        fromBlock: 0, // Events starting from this block
        toBlock: 100, // Events up to this block
        order: "asc", // Order of events ("asc" or "desc")
      },
      subscribe: true, // Subscribe to new events
    },
  );

Type

let options: {
  queryFilter?: EventQueryOptions<Record<string, any>>;
  subscribe?: boolean;
};

Returns

let returnType: UseQueryResult<
  Array<ContractEvent<Record<string, any>>>,
  unknown
>;

The hook's data property, once loaded, contains an array of ContractEvent objects
