Is it possible to do a static call with the useEtherSWR hook? #24

Ethers.js allows you to call a state-changing method as a read-only function w/ callStatic.

The ethers.js docs say that using Contract.callStatic.METHOD_NAME will basically ask a node to pretend that a call is not state-changing and return the result. The method will effectively become a read-only function.

So if the function I'm trying to call is mint(), can I use the useEtherSWR to do a TokenContract.callStatic.mint()?

hey @jviray interesting question. The default ether-js-fetcher.ts doesn't support that. You could create a custom one but I would suggest using directly Etherjs I don't see it as a very common use case.
