useContractEvent

Hook for subscribing to ethers Contract events.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'

Usage

The following examples use the ENS Registry contract.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewOwner',
    listener(node, label, owner) {
      console.log(node, label, owner)
    },
  })
}

Configuration

address (optional)

Contract address. If address is not defined, hook will not run.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewOwner',
    listener(node, label, owner) {
      console.log(node, label, owner)
    },
  })
}

abi (optional)

Contract ABI. If abi is not defined, hook will not run.

By defining inline or adding a const assertion to abi, TypeScript will infer the correct types for eventName and listener. See the wagmi TypeScript docs for more information.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewOwner',
    listener(node, label, owner) {
      console.log(node, label, owner)
    },
  })
}

eventName (optional)

Name of the event to listen to. If eventName is not defined, hook will not run.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewResolver',
    listener(node, resolver) {
      console.log(node, resolver)
    },
  })
}

listener

Callback that receives event.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewOwner',
    listener(node, label, owner) {
      console.log(node, label, owner)
    },
  })
}

chainId (optional)

Force a specific chain id. The wagmi Client's ethers webSocketProvider must be set up as a chain-aware function for this to work correctly.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewOwner',
    listener(node, label, owner) {
      console.log(node, label, owner)
    },
    chainId: 1,
  })
}

once (optional)

Receive only a single event, then stop listener. Defaults to false.

import { useContractEvent } from 'wagmi'
 
function App() {
  useContractEvent({
    address: '0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e',
    abi: ensRegistryABI,
    eventName: 'NewOwner',
    listener(node, label, owner) {
      console.log(node, label, owner)
    },
    once: true,
  })
}
