Solana: Add instructions to versioned transactions

Add instructions to transactions with Solana version

Transactions with the version allow you to provide additional information to transactions, facilitating the processing of complex data in smart contracts. However, working with transactions with the version must be careful not to introduce errors or inconsistencies.

In this article, we will show you how to add instructions to a transaction with Solana version, using the “Solana Program” directory and the @@ solana/program/script module.

Prerequisites

Solana: Add instructions to versioned transactions

Before we start, make sure you installed the necessary libraries:

`Bash

NPM Installation @Solana Program/Solana-Script-Program

`

or

`Bash

yarn add @Solana-program/Solana-script-program

`

Initial transaction code with instructions

`Javascript

Const script = required ('@Solanaprogram/script');

// Determine a feature to generate instructions for the transaction

Async function generation factors (

payload,

UserPublicKey

) {

// Create a new instruction that includes quotation and user public key

Const instructions = [

script instruction ({

Name: 'Quoteresponse',

Args: [Payload.quoteresponsse],

}),

script instruction ({

Name: 'UserPublicKey',

Args: [UserPublicKey],

}),

];

return {instructions};

}

// Create a new transaction that includes the instructions generated

Async function Createtransection (

payload,

UserPublicKey

) {

Const Transaction = Waiting for Script.createtransection (

{{

Frompubkey: UserPublicKey,

Amount: Useful burden.amount,

Scriptlimit: TRUE, // Enable the version

},

Generateinstructations (Useful load, userpublickey)

);

return transaction;

}

// using examples:

Const useful burden = {

Quoteresponsse: '

Amount: 10N,

};

CONST USERPUCKEY = 'Your_user_public_Key_here';

Createtransection (useful load, userpublickey) .Then ((transaction) => {{{

console.log (transaction);

}). catch ((error) => {{{

Console.Error (error);

});

How does it work

In this example, we define a “Generateinstruction” function that takes the useful burden of the transaction and the user public key. This feature creates two new instructions: one to answer the quote and the other to the user public key.

We then create a new transaction using the script.createtransection", giving an object with 'frompubkey',sum ‘andscriptlimit' options.

The "Scriptlimite" option is set to be true that allows the transaction version. This means that Solana stores several versions of the transaction history, each containing the same instructions, but potentially the quote response or the different values ​​of the user public key.

The best exercises

If you work with transactions with version:

  • Always use "scriptlimit" with "TRUE" to enable the version.

  • Use a consistent naming convention for instructions (such asquoteresponsseand userpublickey`).

  • Keep the instructions safely and do not share it publicly.

  • Be aware of the potential effect on scalability and performance when storing several versions of transactions.

In keeping with these guidelines, you can effectively use the version of transactions with a version to manage complex data in smart contracts.
