Function ic_cdk::api::call::call_with_config

pub fn call_with_config<'b, T: ArgumentEncoder, R: for<'a> ArgumentDecoder<'a>>(
    id: Principal,
    method: &'b str,
    args: T,
    cycles: u128,
    arg_config: &'b ArgDecoderConfig
) -> impl Future<Output = CallResult<R>> + Send + Sync + 'b

Performs an asynchronous call to another canister and pay cycles (in u128). It also allows setting a quota for decoding the return values. The decoding quota is strongly recommended when calling third-party or untrusted canisters.

Example

Assuming that the callee canister has following interface:

service : {
    add_user: (name: text) -> (nat64);
}

It can be called:

async fn call_add_user() -> u64 {
    let config = ArgDecoderConfig {
        // The function only returns a nat64, to accomodate future upgrades, we set a larger decoding_quota.
        decoding_quota: Some(10_000),
        // To accomodate future upgrades, reserve some skipping_quota.
        skipping_quota: Some(100),
        // Enable debug mode to print decoding instructions and cost to the replica log.
        debug: true,
    };
    let (user_id,) = call_with_config(callee_canister(), "add_user", ("Alice".to_string(),), 1_000_000u128, &config).await.unwrap();
    user_id
}
