Create example for get events from starknet #578

Open thiagodeev opened 2 weeks ago

thiagodeev commented 2 weeks ago

There isn't any example about how to get a contract event from the starknet. It'll be good to include one in the 'examples' folder

It would be great to have this as it's not that obvious to a newcomer. Here's my experience of it so far...

I can see the Events function on Provider and an example of calling it in events_test.go. I can also see that it takes an EventsInput that holds an EventFilter.

I'm struggling slightly with the Keys value to set on the EventFilter. It's a [][]*felt.Felt but what are the values in it? Presumably they identify which event types and which values of which keys I am interested in? But how is this info held in the array of arrays, and where do the identifying felt values for event type and key come from?

Hi Alex. Thanks, it will be very helpful. Take a look at this page in the starknet.js doc: https://www.starknetjs.com/docs/guides/events/#raw-response. The first "keys" value is the hash of the event name. You can get this value with the GetSelectorFromName starknet-go function.

Also, take a look at some emitted events of an ERC20 contract in voyager/starkscan to understand it better. There's also this: https://docs.cairo-lang.org/hello_starknet/events.html
