Crate anchor_lang

Expand description

Anchor ⚓ is a framework for Solana’s Sealevel runtime providing several convenient developer tools.

  • Rust eDSL for writing safe, secure, and high level Solana programs
  • IDL specification
  • TypeScript package for generating clients from IDL
  • CLI and workspace management for developing complete applications

If you’re familiar with developing in Ethereum’s Solidity, Truffle, web3.js or Parity’s Ink!, then the experience will be familiar. Although the syntax and semantics are targeted at Solana, the high level workflow of writing RPC request handlers, emitting an IDL, and generating clients from IDL is the same.

For detailed tutorials and examples on how to use Anchor, see the guided tutorials or examples in the GitHub repository.

Presented here are the Rust primitives for building on Solana.

Re-exports§

Modules§

  • Account types that can be used in the account validation struct.
  • Data structures that are used to provide non-argument inputs to program endpoints
  • The prelude contains all commonly used components of the crate. All programs should include it via anchor_lang::prelude::*;.

Macros§

  • Defines the program’s ID. This should be used at the root of all Anchor based programs.
  • Declare an external program based on its IDL.
  • Logs an event that can be subscribed to by clients. Uses the sol_log_data syscall which results in the following log:
  • emit_cpievent-cpi
    Log an event by making a self-CPI that can be subscribed to by clients.
  • Returns with the given error. Use this with a custom error type.
  • Generates an Error::AnchorError that includes file and line information.
  • Convenience macro to define a static public key.
  • Ensures a condition is true, otherwise returns with the given error. Use this with or without a custom error type.
  • Ensures two NON-PUBKEY values are equal.
  • Ensures the first NON-PUBKEY value is greater than the second NON-PUBKEY value.
  • Ensures the first NON-PUBKEY value is greater than or equal to the second NON-PUBKEY value.
  • Ensures two pubkeys values are equal.
  • Ensures two pubkeys are not equal.
  • Ensures two NON-PUBKEY values are not equal.
  • Creates a Source

Structs§

Traits§

  • A data structure that can be deserialized and stored into account storage, i.e. an AccountInfo’s mutable data slice.
  • A data structure that can be serialized and stored into account storage, i.e. an AccountInfo’s mutable data slice.
  • A data structure of validated accounts that can be deserialized from the input to a Solana program. Implementations of this trait should perform any and all requisite constraint checks on accounts to ensure the accounts maintain any invariants required for the program to run securely. In most cases, it’s recommended to use the Accounts derive macro to implement this trait.
  • The close procedure to initiate garabage collection of an account, allowing one to retrieve the rent exemption.
  • The exit procedure for an account. Any cleanup or persistence to storage should be done here.
  • Borsh is the default serialization format for instructions and accounts. A data-structure that can be de-serialized from binary format by NBOR.
  • A data-structure that can be serialized into binary format by NBOR.
  • Bump seed for program derived addresses.
  • Associated bump seeds for Accounts.
  • Defines a trait for checking the id of a program.
  • Defines a trait for checking the owner of a program.
  • 8 byte unique identifier for a type.
  • An event that can be emitted via a Solana log. See emit! for an example.
  • Defines the id of a program.
  • IdlBuildidl-build
    A trait that types must implement in order to include the type in the IDL definition.
  • Defines the possible ids of a program.
  • Calculates the data for an instruction invocation, where the data is Sha256(<namespace>:<method_name>)[..8] || BorshSerialize(args). args is a borsh serialized struct of named fields for each argument given to an instruction.
  • Defines the Pubkey of an account.
  • Lamports related utility methods for accounts.
  • Defines an address expected to own an account.
  • Defines a list of addresses expected to own an account.
  • Defines the space of an account for initialization.
  • Transformation to an AccountInfo struct.
  • Transformation to AccountInfo structs.
  • Transformation to AccountMeta structs.
  • An account data structure capable of zero copy deserialization.

Type Aliases§

Attribute Macros§

  • Executes the given access control method before running the decorated instruction handler. Any method in scope of the attribute can be invoked with any arguments from the associated instruction handler.
  • An attribute for a data structure representing a Solana account.
  • A marker attribute used to mark const values that should be included in the generated IDL but functionally does nothing.
  • Generates Error and type Result<T> = Result<T, Error> types to be used as return types from Anchor instruction handlers. Importantly, the attribute implements From on the ErrorCode to support converting from the user defined error enum into the generated Error.
  • The event attribute allows a struct to be used with emit! so that programs can log significant events in their programs that clients can subscribe to. Currently, this macro is for structs only.
  • event_cpievent-cpi
    An attribute macro to add necessary event CPI accounts to the given accounts struct.
  • interfaceinterface-instructions
    The #[interface] attribute is used to mark an instruction as belonging to an interface implementation, thus transforming its discriminator to the proper bytes for that interface instruction.
  • The #[program] attribute defines the module containing all instruction handlers defining all entries into a Solana program.
  • A data structure that can be used as an internal field for a zero copy deserialized account, i.e., a struct marked with #[account(zero_copy)].
