CCIP v1.5.1 Client Library API Reference

CCIP senders and receivers use the CCIP Client library to build CCIP messages.

import { Client } from "@chainlink/contracts-ccip/src/v0.8/ccip/libraries/Client.sol";

Types and Constants

EVMTokenAmount

Use this solidity struct to specify the token address and amount.

struct EVMTokenAmount {
  address token;
  uint256 amount;
}
NameTypeDescription
tokenaddresstoken address on the local chain.
amountuint256Amount of tokens.

Any2EVMMessage

CCIP receivers use this solidity struct to parse the received CCIP message.

struct Any2EVMMessage {
  bytes32 messageId;
  uint64 sourceChainSelector;
  bytes sender;
  bytes data;
  EVMTokenAmount[] destTokenAmounts;
}
NameTypeDescription
messageIdbytes32CCIP messageId, generated on the source chain.
sourceChainSelectoruint64Source chain selector.
senderbytesSender address. abi.decode(sender, (address)) if the source chain is an EVM chain.
databytesPayload sent within the CCIP message.
destTokenAmountsEVMTokenAmount[]Tokens and their amounts in their destination chain representation.

EVM2AnyMessage

CCIP senders use this solidity struct to build a CCIP message.

struct EVM2AnyMessage {
  bytes receiver;
  bytes data;
  EVMTokenAmount[] tokenAmounts;
  address feeToken;
  bytes extraArgs;
}
NameTypeDescription
receiverbytesabi.encode(receiver address) for destination EVM chains.
databytesData payload.
tokenAmountsEVMTokenAmount[]Token transfers.
feeTokenaddressAddress of feeToken. address(0) means you will send msg.value.
extraArgsbytesPopulate this with _argsToBytes(EVMExtraArgsV2).

EVMExtraArgsV1

bytes4 public constant EVM_EXTRA_ARGS_V1_TAG = 0x97a657c9;

struct EVMExtraArgsV1 {
  uint256 gasLimit;
}

EVMExtraArgsV2

bytes4 public constant EVM_EXTRA_ARGS_V2_TAG = 0x181dcf10;

struct EVMExtraArgsV2 {
  uint256 gasLimit;
  bool allowOutOfOrderExecution;
}
NameTypeDescription
gasLimituint256specifies the maximum amount of gas CCIP can consume to execute ccipReceive() on the contract located on the destination blockchain. Read Setting gasLimit for more details.
allowOutOfOrderExecutionboolif true, it indicates that the message can be executed in any order relative to other messages from the same sender. This value's default varies by chain. On some chains, a particular value is enforced, meaning if the expected value is not set, the message request will revert.
