Action Commands

Execute Action

Command: proton action <contract> [action] [data] [authorization]

Description: Execute an action on a smart contract. If no action is specified, it will display all available actions for the contract.

Arguments:

• contract (required): The name of the contract to execute the action on
• action (optional): The name of the action to execute
• data (optional): The action data in JSON format
• authorization (optional): Account to authorize with (format: account@permission)

Data Format: The data can be provided in two formats:

1. Array format: [arg1, arg2, ...]
2. Object format: {"field1": value1, "field2": value2, ...}

Example Usage:

# List available actions
proton action eosio.token

# Execute action
proton action eosio.token transfer '{"from":"myaccount","to":"otheraccount","quantity":"1.0000 XPR","memo":"test"}' myaccount@active

# Execute action with array format
proton action eosio.token transfer '["myaccount","otheraccount","1.0000 XPR","test"]' myaccount@active

Notes:

• If action is specified but data is missing, it will show the required fields for that action
• Authorization defaults to 'active' permission if only account is provided (e.g., 'myaccount' is same as 'myaccount@active')
• All required fields must be provided in the data object when using object format
