Extends the base client with additional functionality. This enables optimal code splitting and extensibility

Type parameters

• TExtension extends Record<string, any>

Parameters

• decorator

Returns

BaseClient<"fork" | "normal", object & TExtension>

forkUrl?

optional readonly forkUrl: string

Fork url if the EVM is forked

Example

const client = createMemoryClient({ forkUrl: 'https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your-api-key' })
console.log(client.forkUrl)

getReceiptsManager()

readonly getReceiptsManager: () => Promise<ReceiptsManager>

Interface for querying receipts and historical state

Returns

Promise<ReceiptsManager>

getTxPool()

readonly getTxPool: () => Promise<TxPool>

Gets the pool of pending transactions to be included in next block

Returns

Promise<TxPool>

getVm()

readonly getVm: () => Promise<Vm>

Internal instance of the VM. Can be used for lower level operations. Normally not recomended to use unless building libraries or extensions on top of Tevm.

Returns

Promise<Vm>

logger

readonly logger: Logger

The logger instance

miningConfig

readonly miningConfig: MiningConfig

The configuration for mining. Defaults to ‘auto'

  • 'auto’ will mine a block on every transaction
  • ’interval’ will mine a block every interval milliseconds
  • ’manual’ will not mine a block automatically and requires a manual call to mineBlock

mode

readonly mode: "fork" | "normal"

The mode the current client is running in fork mode will fetch and cache all state from the block forked from the provided URL normal mode will not fetch any state and will only run the EVM in memory

Example

let client = createMemoryClient()
console.log(client.mode) // 'normal'
client = createMemoryClient({ forkUrl: 'https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your-api-key' })
console.log(client.mode) // 'fork'

ready()

readonly ready: () => Promise<true>

Returns promise that resulves when the client is ready The client is usable without calling this method but may have extra latency on the first call from initialization

Example

const client = createMemoryClient()
await client.ready()

Returns

Promise<true>
