Ethereum Boilerplate Questions

I meant image could be a type like string, number, etc. Not the actual any type. Why do you need to change this use of Image or are you talking about something else?

[rePok]

Found the error . . .
it’s called image_url and not just image (Y)

So that works now . . .

@alex

That looks like custom code you’re using there. Sure, what is the issue? Updating the data, or reading it? More info is needed. If it seems specific to your use of MongoDB, you can check their docs .

I’m getting this error: Expected 1-2 arguments, but got 3.

I can’t find what that means in documents . . . Is it defined somewhere that params should only be 2 instances and not the 3 I’m asking for?

[alex]

That should be axios.post, not axios.get. Also depending on axios version, you may need capital letters - Content-Type instead of content-type.

Is something down with the API?
Upon launching my DApp it now throws a 500 error . . . .
Didn’t change anything since it worked saturday . . .

[johnversus]

There is a downtime status on bsc chain. Team is looking into it.
https://status.moralis.io/

[rePok]

Should that affect my ability to connect to metamask at all (From the DApp - Not in general)

[johnversus]

No, that should not affect authentication. Can you create a new topic in forum with more details on the error which you are receiving

[heyhey]

hi everyone! just started using the boilerplate and it seems great but when trying to connect my wallet on localhost, it throws an error “request failed with status code 500”

[YosephKS]

Hey @heyhey,

thanks for reaching out and hope you had a great day~

can you check the console or network tab what error message that you get from trying to connect the wallet? I suspect it has something to do with the Auth API

[heyhey]

here’s the err msg and .env

[johnversus]

Hi @heyhey,
Can you remove # replace for production text from the env variable and try again?

[heyhey]

hi, thanks for your help it works now!

[heyhey]

So i was trying to make a call to a contract on the mumbai testnet, not sure why i’m getting this as i can connect wallet and access erc20 or NFT data using moralis api

didn’t touch this part either

env should be correctly setup?

[johnversus]

Hi @heyhey

It seems like you are using Morlais runContractFunction in your frontend react client component.
However, the API key that is set using the MoralisNextApi is only accessible on next js server component.

Try using the useEvmRunContractFunction() hook from @moralisweb3.next package. That should work.

Moralis-JS-SDK/packages/next at main · MoralisWeb3/Moralis-JS-SDK - useEvmRunContractFunction()

Here is an example code

const { fetch, data } = useEvmRunContractFunction();
  useEffect(() => {
    data && console.log(data);
  }, [data]);

//...
//  Call the fetch function through a button click or through a function. 
<button
        onClick={async () => {
          const data = await fetch({
            abi: [
              {
                inputs: [],
                name: "getPrice",
                outputs: [
                  {
                    internalType: "uint256",
                    name: "",
                    type: "uint256",
                  },
                ],
                stateMutability: "view",
                type: "function",
              },
            ],
            address: "0x1A92f7381B9F03921564a437210bB9396471050C",
            functionName: "getPrice",
            chain: 1,
          });
          console.log(data);
        }}
      >
        fetch contract data
      </button>

[heyhey]

what i’m trying to do is call a function from the smart contract to write data to it, it seems like useEvmRunContractFunction() is for read only. any suggestions?

[johnversus]

Hi @heyhey

The API only supports calling read-only contract functions. For calling the write function I would recommend using web3.js or ether.js directly as it requires interaction with the wallet. You can also use other libraries like wagmi which uses ether.js internally and provides react hooks to call smart contract functions. You can find more about it here.

I hope this helps😃

How do i change the logo and displayed tab name? i don’t want ‘boilerplate’ in the tab name

I would also like to change the logo in the nav bar

[Va55]

Hello all,

This might be a total newbie question, but I am completely new to programming, Next.js and Moralis. Trying to learn.

I successfully installed the boilerplate and everything seems to be working fine. Because the boilerplate automatically runs Moralis I thought that I can now use Moralis where I have previously used ethers to connect to my smart contract.

In my old code I had

const { ethers } = require(“ethers”);

export async function displayContract() {
const contractAddress = “…”
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum);
const signer = provider.getSigner();
const deal = new ethers.Contract(contractAddress, Abi, signer);
}

And I was expecting that I could now replace this bit by:

import { useMoralis, useMoralisWeb3Api, useMoralisWeb3 } from “@moralis/next”;

export async function displayContract() {
const { Moralis, web3 } = useMoralis();
const { accounts } = useWeb3();
const contractAddress = “…”
const deal = useWeb3Contract(contractAddress, Abi);
}

However, this doesn’t work… at least not out of the box. I’ve tried react-moralis too. What should I do to get the moralis functionality in the ethereum-boilerplate?

Thank you for helping a newcomer
