How to get return value of external function

0 votes

I have two functions funcA and funcB

function funcA(uint8 index) external view returns(uint8) {

    return someMapping[index];

}


function funcB() external view returns(bool) {

    return instanceOfA.getValueFor(1) == 1;

}

I want to get the return value of contract funcB. How to do this?

You can do this. I have shared the code for it. I have checked it and it works.

pragma solidity >0.4.23 <0.5.0;


contract A {

    uint256 value;


    constructor(uint256 v) public {

        value = v;

    }


    function getValue() external view returns (uint256) {

        return value;

    }

}


contract B {

    A other;


    constructor(address a) public {

        other = A(a);

    }


    function getValueFromA() external view returns (uint256) {

        return other.getValue();

    }

}

Execution:

$ truffle console

truffle(development)> var aContract = web3.eth.contract([{"constant":true,"inputs":[],"name":"getValue","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"uint256"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"name":"v","type":"uint256"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"constructor"}]);


truffle(development)> var transObj = { from: web3.eth.accounts[0], data: '0x608060405234801561001057600080fd5b506040516020806100ea83398101806040528101908080519060200190929190505050806000819055505060a1806100496000396000f300608060405260043610603f576000357c0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000900463ffffffff16806320965255146044575b600080fd5b348015604f57600080fd5b506056606c565b6040518082815260200191505060405180910390f35b600080549050905600a165627a7a72305820dd332a08d090a6766cf7c2e86f41abc58a31e4d1afe7cb635a0a1b755a9b81cd0029', gas: '4700000'};
