Now more often TL-B is used as a supplement to the documentation of smart contracts, written manually. To my knowledge, TL-B compiler in ton c++ monorepo can generate code based on TL-B, but I haven't seen any cases where this has been used in practice outside of ton monorepo.

So I do not have to learn how to use TL-B for contracts development, right?

Thanks

It is not necessary but still important if you want to develop something big

I am a newbie, and do not find any scenario I can use TL-B, perhaps I will find one later

TL-b is usually used to describe how smart contracts interact with each other. Usually when you write a contract, you also write a tl-b scheme where you explain the format of data that your contract takes as input and maybe return in response

It is required mostly for internal & external messages because they don't have some exact format for message body. Developer can put any data in any format in it

So, is this similar to an api doc?

It is similar to ABI for ethereum contracts, but more customizable

TL-b is a language that can describe how some data type should be serialized and deserialized from binary format

sometimes after auction ends if someone send ton to auction item contract address ton is coming back to sender, is it manually triggered or automatic by contract?

is there any book to master skill on ton smart contracts?

Nov 28, 2022, 7:59 AM

I'm not sure but probably that behaviour is defined in contract's code, or maybe it just raises an error so coins are bounced back to the sender

Whitepaper and docs

noob programmer cant gain anything from whitepaper. 😏

in ton , address contract type is unknown until there is first outgoing txn?

Nov 28, 2022, 8:43 AM

It just should be deoloyed

And when we're talking about wallets, they're usually deployed with the first outgoing tx

yea this

by default my codes have 3
