How to get a contract instance type?

[Ncookiez]

Hi! Currently migrating over from Ethers, where a new Contract() would return an object of type Contract.

I can't seem to get proper typing for the equivalent getContract() function.

Old Ethers Setup:

let contract: Contract | undefined
contract = new Contract( ... )

Viem Setup:

let contract: any
contract = getContract({ ... })

---

What should I use there instead of any? Does Viem export any contract typing? I see GetContractReturnType is exported, but doesn't seem very useful without the rest of the client and ABI typing used internally.

I realise this is quite an old question, but the way I solved for this was to do GetContractReturnType<typeof ContractAbi, PublicClient, WalletClient>. This requires that you create a type definition file for your ContractAbi.

GetContractReturnType<typeof abi, PublicClient | WalletClient> worked for v2.17.3
