Import the public actions package so you can call this action.

import "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/actions/public"

Usage

An example showing how to construct a public client and fetch a transaction.

import (
  "context"
  "log"

  "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/common"
  "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/actions/public"
  "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/client"
  "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/client/transport"
  "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/chain/definitions"
)

ctx := context.Background()

publicClient, err := client.CreatePublicClient(client.PublicClientConfig{
  Chain:     definitions.Mainnet,
  Transport: transport.HTTP("https://eth.llamarpc.com"),
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
defer func() { _ = publicClient.Close() }()

txHash := common.HexToHash("0x4ca7ee652d57678f26e887c149ab0735f41de37bcad58c9f6d3ed5824f15b74d")
tx, err := public.GetTransaction(ctx, publicClient, public.GetTransactionParameters{
  Hash: &txHash,
})
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Printf("Transaction from: %s", tx.From.Hex())

Returns
