validator

A builder function that adds a validator to a transaction.

Validators are functions that run during transaction building to check for invalid configurations or parameters. They help catch errors early before submitting transactions to the network, preventing failed transactions and wasted compute costs.

Import

You can import the entire package and access the function:

_10

import * as sdk from "@onflow/sdk"

_10

_10

sdk.validator(cb)

Or import directly the specific function:

_10

import { validator } from "@onflow/sdk"

_10

_10

validator(cb)

Usage

_21

import * as fcl from "@onflow/fcl";

_21

_21

// Custom validator to ensure account has sufficient balance

_21

const validateBalance = (ix) => {

_21

if (ix.message.computeLimit > 1000) {

_21

throw new Error("Compute limit too high for this account");

_21

}

_21

return ix;

_21

};

_21

_21

await fcl.send([

_21

fcl.transaction`

_21

transaction {

_21

prepare(account: AuthAccount) {

_21

// Transaction logic

_21

}

_21

}

_21

`,

_21

fcl.validator(validateBalance),

_21

fcl.limit(500) // This will pass validation

_21

]);
