decodeFunctionResult โ€‹

Decodes the result of a function call on a contract.

Install โ€‹

ts
import { decodeFunctionResult } from 'viem'

Usage โ€‹

Given an ABI (abi) and a function (functionName), pass through the encoded calldata (data) to retrieve the decoded value:

ts
import { decodeFunctionResult } from 'viem'

const value = decodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'ownerOf',
  data: '0x000000000000000000000000a5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
})
// '0xa5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
ts
export const wagmiAbi = [
  ...
  {
    inputs: [{ name: 'tokenId', type: 'uint256' }],
    name: 'ownerOf',
    outputs: [{ name: '', type: 'address' }],
    stateMutability: 'view',
    type: 'function',
  },
  ...
] as const;
ts
import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'

export const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http()
})

Without functionName โ€‹

If your abi contains only one ABI item, you can omit the functionName (it becomes optional):

ts
import { decodeFunctionResult } from 'viem'

const abiItem = {
  inputs: [{ name: 'tokenId', type: 'uint256' }],
  name: 'ownerOf',
  outputs: [{ name: '', type: 'address' }],
  stateMutability: 'view',
  type: 'function',
}

const value = decodeFunctionResult({
  abi: [abiItem],
  functionName: 'ownerOf', 
  data: '0x000000000000000000000000a5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
})
// '0xa5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
ts
import { createPublicClient, http } from 'viem'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'

export const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http()
})

ts
import { decodeFunctionResult } from 'viem'

const value = decodeFunctionResult({
  abi: wagmiAbi,
  functionName: 'getInfo',

Parameters โ€‹

abi โ€‹

The contract's ABI.

ts
const value = decodeFunctionResult({

  functionName: 'ownerOf',
  data: '0x000000000000000000000000a5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
})

functionName โ€‹

  • Type: string

The function to encode from the ABI.

ts
const value = decodeFunctionResult({

  functionName: 'ownerOf', 
  data: '0x000000000000000000000000a5cc3c03994db5b0d9a5eedd10cabab0813678ac'
})

data โ€‹

The calldata.

ts
const value = decodeFunctionResult({
