Smart Contract Execution

TxTypeSmartContractExecution executes a smart contract with the given data. TxTypeSmartContractExecution is accepted only if "to" is a smart contract account.

Import the web3 and @kaiachain/web3js-ext packages to add kaia features on web3

Define sender, fee payer addresses and private keys

Define contract address and abi

Set up the provider with the specified kaia Baobab testnet URL. A provider in web3 is a read-only abstraction to access the blockchain data.

Also, you can change the provider URL from baobab to allthatnode

Create a sender's wallet with the private key using web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount

Create a fee payer's wallet with the private key using web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount

Define contractAddr and contractAbi, you can get the contract address and Abi from compiled solidity code or blockchain explorer

Create a contract instance using Web3.eth.Contract with defined contractAbi and address. You can read and write the contract through this instance

Encode the function data for the setNumber function, encodeABI convert the data into bytecode

Create the transaction object to interact with the contract

Set type: TxType.FeeDelegatedSmartContractExecution for transaction to change contract state with a fee payer

Set data: data for earlier encoded function data

Sign the transaction with sender account using signTransaction

Sign the transaction with fee payer account using signTransactionAsFeePayer

Send the transaction to blockchain. It will return the transaction receipt
