Utilities

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

cryptography

Inner modules

Inner modules

deployments

use openzeppelin::utils::deployments;

Module containing utility functions for calculating contract addresses through deploy_syscall and the Universal Deployer Contract (UDC).

Structs

DeployerInfo(caller_address: ContractAddress, udc_address: ContractAddress) struct

Struct containing arguments necessary in utils::calculate_contract_address_from_udc for origin-dependent deployment calculations.

Functions

calculate_contract_address_from_deploy_syscall(salt: felt252, class_hash: ClassHash, constructor_calldata: Span<felt252>, deployer_address: ContractAddress) → ContractAddress function

Returns the contract address when passing the given arguments to deploy_syscall.

compute_hash_on_elements(mut data: Span<felt252>) → felt252 function

Creates a Pedersen hash chain with the elements of data and returns the finalized hash.

calculate_contract_address_from_udc(salt: felt252, class_hash: ClassHash, constructor_calldata: Span<felt252>, deployer_info: Option<DeployerInfo>) → ContractAddress function

Returns the calculated contract address for UDC deployments.

Origin-independent deployments (deployed from zero) should pass Option::None as deployer_info.

Origin-dependent deployments hash salt with caller_address (member of DeployerInfo) and pass the hashed salt to the inner deploy_syscall as the contract_address_salt argument.

math

use openzeppelin::utils::math;

Module containing math utilities.

Members
Functions

Functions

average(a: T, b: T) → T function

Returns the average of two values. The result is rounded down.

T is a generic value matching different numeric implementations.

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.

Cryptography

NoncesComponent

use openzeppelin::utils::cryptography::nonces::NoncesComponent;

Simple component for managing nonces.

Embeddable Implementations
NoncesImpl
Internal Implementations

Embeddable functions

nonces(self: @ContractState, owner: ContractAddress) → felt252 external

Returns the next unused nonce for an owner.

Internal functions

use_nonce(ref self: ComponentState, owner: ContractAddress) → felt252 internal

Consumes a nonce, returns the current value, and increments nonce.

For each account, the nonce has an initial value of 0, can only be incremented by one, and cannot be decremented or reset. This guarantees that the nonce never overflows.

use_checked_nonce(ref self: ComponentState, owner: ContractAddress, nonce: felt252) → felt252 internal

Same as use_nonce but checking that nonce is the next valid one for owner.

snip12

use openzeppelin::utils::snip12;

Supports on-chain generation of message hashes compliant with SNIP12.
