writeContract

Executes a write function on a contract, with EIP712 transaction support.

Usage

import { account, walletClient } from './config'
 
const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({ 
  account,
  address: '0xFBA3912Ca04dd458c843e2EE08967fC04f3579c2',
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'mint',
})
// '0x...'

Account Hoisting

If you do not wish to pass an account to every sendTransaction, you can also hoist the Account on the Wallet Client (see config.ts).

import { walletClient } from './config'
 
const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({ 
  account,
