Chapter 5: Deploying the contract

After the wallet is logged in, we can use the wallet to send transaction deployment contracts.

The web3 tool class also provides tool functions for deploying contracts web3.deploy(). The contract instance and the amount of bitcoin locked by the contract are the parameters of this function. This function will do the following:

  1. Query available unspent outputs through the wallet's listUnspent interface. Used to pay transaction fees and locked balances for deploying contracts.
  2. Build a lock script containing a contract instance as the first output of the transaction.
  3. Call the getSignature interface of the wallet to request the wallet to sign the transaction.
  4. Call the sendRawTransaction interface of the wallet to broadcast the transaction.

Start the Game

After the player fills in the amount of bitcoin locked in the contract and clicks the start button, the startGame method in the App component will be called back. This function implements the function of deploying a contract instance to the Bitcoin network. After successful deployment, save the UTXO containing the contract and the initial game state to localStorage , and update the React state.

const startGame = async (amount) => {
    if (web3.wallet && states.instance) {
      web3.deploy(states.instance, amount).then(rawTx => {
            
          ...  
      })
    }
};

Put it to the test

  1. Call the web3.deploy() function in the startGame function to deploy the contract. And after successful deployment save transaction to ContractUtxos and update game state.
