In the Find Job section, users can create a proposal for the job they want to apply for. We will use and detail the use of function createProposal or updateProposal
Good to Know
In this example, we will use reactJS, Ether.js and formik to handle the form on the frontend. You will find a full code example with all imports at the end of tutorial.
// The interface for the inupt field of your form
interface IFormValues {
about: string;
rateToken: string;
rateAmount: number;
expirationDate: number;
videoUrl: string;
}
// As we using Formik we use the validationSchema to check all the input value.
const validationSchema = Yup.object({
about: Yup.string().required('Please provide a description of your service'),
rateToken: Yup.string().required('Please select a payment token'),
rateAmount: Yup.string().required('Please provide an amount for your service'),
expirationDate: Yup.number().integer().required('Please provide an expiration date'),
});
Let's create our form
// We set up our input field to get the data to create our IPFS CID
return (
<Formik initialValues={initialValues} onSubmit={onSubmit} validationSchema={validationSchema}>
{({ isSubmitting }) => (
<Form>
<h2 className='mb-2 text-gray-900 font-bold'>For the job:</h2>
<ServiceItem service={service} />
<h2 className=' mt-8 mb-2 text-gray-900 font-bold'>Describe your proposal in details:</h2>
<div className='grid grid-cols-1 gap-6 border border-gray-200 rounded-md p-8'>
<label className='block'>
<span className='text-gray-700'>about</span>
<Field
as='textarea'
id='about'
rows={8}
name='about'
className='mt-1 mb-1 block w-full rounded-md border-gray-300 shadow-sm focus:border-indigo-300 focus:ring focus:ring-indigo-200 focus:ring-opacity-50'
placeholder=''
/>
<span className='text-red-500'>
<ErrorMessage name='about' />
</span>
</label>
....................

/*
Formik will catch the submit button and trigger the onSubmit function
in the next section
*/
<SubmitButton isSubmitting={isSubmitting} label='Post' />
);
② Handle Submit and Post the proposal
On submit, we create a new transaction and call the createProposal or the updateProposal for that we will need our contract instance and all the parameter including the CID (data stored on IPFS)
const onSubmit = async (
values: IFormValues,
{
setSubmitting,
resetForm,
}: { setSubmitting: (isSubmitting: boolean) => void; resetForm: () => void },
) => {
/*.............................
we proceed to different check and date formatting
.............................*/
/*
as we using the defender API to manage platform signature we need to get it
as it's a parameter of the createProposal function
*/
const signature = await getProposalSignature({
profileId: Number(user.id),
cid,
serviceId: Number(service.id),
});
// We need to create the CID to post some data off-chain
const cid = await postToIPFS(
JSON.stringify({
about: values.about,
video_url: values.videoUrl,
}),
);
// We need the contract instance to call the function
const contract = new ethers.Contract(
config.contracts.serviceRegistry, // contract address
ServiceRegistry.abi, // the contract ABI
signer, // the signer
);
/*
If a proposal existingProposal exist we call updateProposal otherwise we call
createProposal
*/
const tx = existingProposal
? await contract.updateProposal(
user.id,
service.id,
values.rateToken,
parsedRateAmountString,
cid,
convertExpirationDateString,
)
: await contract.createProposal(
user.id,
service.id,
values.rateToken,
parsedRateAmountString,
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_ID,
cid,
convertExpirationDateString,
signature,
);
③ Get the Proposal by User With Subgraph API
Here is an example of a Graph Query you can use to get the proposal by user
export const getAllProposalsByUser = (id: string): Promise<any> => {
const query = `
{
proposals(where: {seller: "${id}", status: "Pending"}) {
id
rateAmount
rateToken {
address
decimals
name
symbol
}
status
cid
createdAt
seller {
id
handle
}
service {
id
cid
createdAt
buyer {
id
handle
}
}
description {
id
about
expectedHours
startDate
video_url
}
expirationDate
}
}
`;
return processRequest(query);
};gra
