Change of the Voting Interval of Esters. JS Provider in Hardhat
When you use the Ethers.js supplier with your hardhat project, you can find problems with slow network connections or high voting intervals, which can affect the performance and efficiency of your smart contracts in Ethereum. In this article, we will explore how to change the predetermined voting interval of the Ethers.js provider in hardhat.
Why is the voting interval too high?
The predetermined voting interval for the Ethers.JS supplier is generally established in 4 seconds (4000 ms), which may be fine for most networks. However, if the latency of your network is high or is using a congested network, this interval may not be adequate.
What happens when we change the voting interval?
When we make changes in the voting interval, we need to update the object ‘Ethers.configto reflect the new value. Here is an example of how to modify the default voting interval:
JavaScript
import {ethers} of 'ethers';
const Hardhat = request ('hardhat');
ASYNC MAIN FUNCTION () {
Wait Ethers.getprovider (). ON ('Network', (Info) => {
if (info.name === 'mainnet') {
// Change the predetermined voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second)
Ethers.config.pollinginterval = 1000;
}
});
}
Main (). then (() => console.log ('Voting interval successfully updated!'));
ModifyingEthers.config
To change the voting interval, you must update the object 'Ethers.config. The configuration file is generally in the .env o’r’config.jsfile file.
Here is an example of how to modify the default voting interval:
JSON
// .env (or hardhat.config.js)
Pollinginterval = 1000 // 1 second
Alternatively, you can update the configuration using the Hardhat built -in API:
JavaScript
const {ethers} = require ('hardhat');
ASYNC MAIN FUNCTION () {
const networkname = 'mainnet';
Wait Ethers.getprovider (). ON ('Network', Async (Info) => {
if (info.name === networkname) {
// Update the predetermined voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second)
Ethers.config.pollinginterval = 1000;
// Update the provider Ethers.js using the built -in Hardhat API
Ethers.getprovider (). setconfig ({{
Pollinginterval: 1000,
});
}
});
}
Main (). then (() => console.log ('Voting interval successfully updated!'));
Try your changes
After making changes in the voting interval, you can use theEthers.supplier with your intelligent contracts and verify that they work properly.
In this example, we have updated the default voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second). We have also included a trial case in Hardhat to demonstrate how to update the voting interval:
JavaScript
// Main.js
import {ethers} of 'ethers';
ASYNC MAIN FUNCTION () {
Wait Ethers.getprovider (). ON ('Network', Async (Info) => {
if (info.name === 'mainnet') {
// Update the predetermined voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second)
Ethers.config.pollinginterval = 1000;
// Create a new contract instance with the updated pollinng interval
CONST CONTRACTISTANCE = AWAIT ETERS.GetCONTFACTORY ('MYCONTRACT');
constc contract = wait contractiptance.deploy ();
// Use the contract instance to prove its functionality
}
});
}
Main (). then (() => console.log ('Voting interval successfully updated!'));
`
Following these steps, you can easily change the predetermined voting interval of the Ethers.J provider in hardhat and optimize the performance of your intelligent contract.
