TZIP-16 Contract Metadata and Views

The @taquito/tzip16 package allows retrieving metadata associated with a smart contract. These metadata can be stored on-chain (tezos-storage) or off-chain (HTTP(S) or IPFS). The package also provides a way to execute the MichelsonStorageView found in the metadata. More information about the TZIP-16 standard can be found here.

How to use the tzip16 package

The package can be used as an extension to the well known Taquito contract abstraction.

1. We first need to create an instance of Tzip16Module and add it as an extension to our TezosToolkit

Using the default Metadata Provider

The constructor of the Tzip16Module takes an optional MetadataProvider as a parameter. When none is passed, the default MetadataProvider of Taquito is instantiated and the default handlers (HttpHandler, IpfsHandler, and TezosStorageHandler) are used.

import { TezosToolkit } from '@taquito/taquito';
import { Tzip16Module } from '@taquito/tzip16';

const Tezos = new TezosToolkit('rpcUrl');
Tezos.addExtension(new Tzip16Module());

Using a custom Metadata Provider

In some cases, we may want to use a customized metadata provider. The constructor of the Tzip16Module class takes an optional metadata provider as a parameter. This allows to inject a custom metadata provider with custom protocol handlers if desired. For example, if we want to use a different IPFS gateway than the default one, which is ipfs.io, or if we want to use a different HTTP handler to support authentication or custom headers. Here is an example:

import { Handler, IpfsHttpHandler, TezosStorageHandler, MetadataProvider } from '@taquito/tzip16';

const Tezos = new TezosToolkit('rpcUrl');

// The constructor of the `MetadataProvider` class takes a `Map<string, Handler>` as a parameter.
const customHandler = new Map<string, Handler>([
  ['ipfs', new IpfsHttpHandler('gateway.ipfs.io')], // Constructor of IpfsHttpHandler takes an optional gateway
  ['http', 'customHttpHandler'], // Custom HTTP(S) handler
  ['https', 'customHttpHandler'],
  ['tezos-storage', new TezosStorageHandler()],
]);

const customMetadataProvider = new MetadataProvider(customHandler);
Tezos.addExtension(new Tzip16Module(customMetadataProvider));

A list of public gateways is accessible here.

2. Use the tzip16 function to extend a contract abstraction

const contract = await Tezos.contract.at('contractAddress', tzip16);

3. Call the methods of the Tzip16ContractAbstraction class

The namespace tzip16() need to be specified when calling a method of the Tzip16ContractAbstraction class:

const metadata = await contract.tzip16().getMetadata();
const views = await contract.tzip16().metadataViews();

All other methods of the ContractAbstraction class can be called as usual on the contract object.

Get the metadata

The getMetadata method returns an object which contains the URI, the metadata in JSON format, an optional SHA256 hash of the metadata and an optional integrity check result.

"code":
