Hi there. How to easily communicate to a smart contract i deployed? Crafting message or using a normal transaction

You can look at how various built-in contracts are implemented in TonWeb.

Thank you. and finally i found a ton dev community not russian

It's nice to be here ❤️

I wouldn't call it not Russian though 😁
Most of the knowledgeable and active people here are Russians.

No problem! I was just referring to the fact that the official ton dev (ENG) was full of russian messages

That's just bad moderation I guess :)

I'm testing tonweb on node with the example but the example contains async functions and it says "SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function". Am i doing smth wrong?

You will need to know the JavaScript on a decent level if you are going to use the TonWeb.

What examples are you talking about?

I fixed it by myself but i meant the example alone is not working. I needed to add personally the handling of the async stuff

Anyway thx for direction! :)

What example are you talking about? Can you point me to the problem directly?

copying and paste this in a raw .js gives me the async warning

Yeah, I see. That's because global awaits are not supported in CommonJS. You will need to wrap it in async function.

// This will do the trick
(async () => {
await doSomethnig();
})();

That worked too! Thx!

These examples are not meant to be just copied and pasted directly. It's just a rough idea of how to use the TonWeb. We will be rewriting all the documentation in the near future.

I have a generated keypair. How to import the secretKey in code? I tried passing it as a string (hex version) but didnt work

Secret key should be passed as Uint8Array.

nacl will give you the keys in the correct format already.

You can also do the following:

const secretKey = TonWeb.utils.hexToBytes('YOUR HEX');
const keyPair = TonWeb.utils.nacl.sign.keyPair.fromSecretKey(secretKey);

That's not true
Node.js supports global await, but you might need to update it and enable new features

Yes, it is only supported in ESM modules. So your file must have an .mjs extension and it must be compiled to ESM. It is rarely used in practice, so I've generalized.

How to switch to testnet tonweb? Am i forced to get an api key for https://testnet.toncenter.com/api/v2/jsonRPC?

You will need to set proper TonCenter URL when you initialize the TonWeb provider.

Ok Done. Default is mainnet. I was getting too confused haha

Looks like const secretKey = TonWeb.utils.hexToBytes('F2049F029029E092F90EF90290EF2F2E0F209'); gives me a Error: bad secret key size

Private key must have 64 bytes or 128 chars in HEX format.

Your HEX-string is incorrect in general, because it has odd number of chars.

I replaced it with random chars to hide it xd

Don't worry
People here are all super honest
You can post your private keys here no problem

It's still a testnet thing so ye, who cares

const secretKey = TonWeb.utils.hexToBytes('229715B35FE31CD0EC2DFCCEFDB381C2F9E6B284BE36D7D12B3933AD26E7B540');
const keyPair = TonWeb.utils.nacl.sign.keyPair.fromSecretKey(secretKey);

Just be sure it is not the same private key you use on the mainnet

nah it's not
