Schema Description: Truffle Contract Object
| type | object |
|---|---|
| JSON Schema | contract-object.spec.json |
truffle-contract uses a formally specified<sup>1</sup> JSON object format to represent Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts. This representation is intended to facilitate the use of general purpose smart contract abstractions (such as truffle-contract) by capturing relevant smart contract information in a persistent and portable manner.
Objects following this schema represent individual smart contracts as defined by their name and interface. Each object primarily includes a JSON array representing the contract's ABI<sup>2</sup>, but extends to include any and all information related to the contract and its lifecycle(s). Objects in this schema may represent pre-compiled source code, compilation annotations such as source mappings, references to specified deployed instances on multiple networks, and/or links to external contracts.
A full property listing is below. Properties not marked "required" are not
necessary to include in valid descriptions of contract objects, but functionally
certain information must be present to allow the contract object representation
to be useful (source/bytecode/etc. enable the deployment of new instances,
networks listed with prior contract instance addresses enable interaction
with deployed contracts on-chain)

Properties
contractName
| type | string matching pattern ^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$ |
|---|---|
| default | "Contract" |
Name used to identify the contract. Semi-alphanumeric string.
abi
| type | array |
|---|---|
| JSON Schema | abi.spec.json |
| required |
External programmatic description of contract's interface. The contract's ABI determines the means by which applications may interact with individual contract instances. Array of functions and events representing valid inputs and outputs for the instance.
ast
| type | object |
|---|
not included in current version of this specification
Abstract Syntax Tree. A nested JSON object representation of contract source code, as output by compiler.
bytecode
| type | string matching pattern ^0x0$|^0x([a-fA-F0-9]{2}|__.{38})+$ |
|---|---|
| ref | Bytecode |
EVM instruction bytecode that runs as part of contract create transaction.
Constructor code for new contract instance.
Specified as a hexadecimal string, may include __-prefixed (double underscore)
link references.
deployedBytecode
| type | string matching pattern ^0x0$|^0x([a-fA-F0-9]{2}|__.{38})+$ |
|---|---|
| ref | Bytecode |
EVM instruction bytecode associated with contract that specifies behavior for
incoming transactions/messages. Underlying implementation of ABI.
Specified as a hexadecimal string, may include __-prefixed (double underscore)
link references.
source
| type | string |
|---|
Uncompiled source code for contract. Text string.
sourcePath
| type | string |
|---|
File path for uncompiled source code.
sourceMap
| type | string matching pattern ^[0-9;]* |
|---|
Source mapping for bytecode, pairing contract creation transaction data bytes
with origin statements in uncompiled source.
deployedSourceMap
| type | string matching pattern ^[0-9;]* |
|---|
Source mapping for deployedBytecode, pairing contract program data bytes
with origin statements in uncompiled source.
schemaVersion
| type | string matching pattern [0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ |
|---|
Version of this schema used by contract object representation.
updatedAt
| type | string |
|---|---|
| format | IS0-8601 Datetime |
Time at which contract object representation was generated/most recently updated.
networks
| type | object |
|---|
Listing of contract instances. Object mapping network ID keys to network object values. Includes address information, links to other contract instances, and/or contract event logs.
Properties (key matching ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$)
| type | object |
|---|---|
| ref | Network Object |
Custom Properties
^x-([a-zA-Z]+-)*[a-zA-Z]+
| type | string or number or object or array |
|---|
Objects following this schema may include additional properties with
x--prefixed keys.
Definitions
<a name="contract-object--bytecode">Bytecode</a>
| type | string matching pattern ^0x0$|^0x([a-fA-F0-9]{2}|__.{38})+$ |
|---|
0x-prefixed string representing compiled EVM machine language.
This string representation may indicate link references in place of
linked instance addresses. Link references must begin with __ and be exactly
40 characters long (i.e., string length of an address in hexadecimal).
