Calling other contracts

Orbs contracts are able to call other orbs contracts as part of the execution logic, we call this action a service call.

In order to call other contracts, you will need to import the service library

import (
	"github.com/orbs-network/orbs-contract-sdk/go/sdk/v1/service"
)

The service library exposes a single function called CallMethod which is used to call the external contract which is deployed on the same virtual chain of the Orbs blockchain.

CallMethod(serviceName string, methodName string, args ...interface{}) []interface{}

This function received the following arguments:

• serviceName - The contract name

• methodName - The method to call in that contract

• args - The variadic parameter for the method arguments

The return value will contain the array of the result of the function execution.
