Viem

@jxom is it still not possible to read/write by passing functionSelector + args / calldata with viem or wagmi? functionName is not always known

I understand type safety would be lost, but I'd love to stop depending on ethers due to this

Makes sense! Can take a look this weekend to widen the type.

You can workaround for now by doing:

const hash = client.readContract({
  address: '0x...',
  abi,
  functionName: '0xdeadbeef' as any
})

This should work as internally our ABI Function encoding/decoding utils accept selectors as names.

good to know! but does it also work if the abi doesn’t have the selector?

in my case I need to call a function with the same params, but with variable selector. would be great if I could preserve type safety, but I’m aware it’s an unusual scenario so would be happy with directly passing the calldata

Got it. I’d just use `sendTransaction` or `call` directly for that case.

what seems to be missing is an untyped `multicall` public action, as I generally need to batch these calls to separate contracts
