How can I pass a date or string argument to a function

[trictrac 0]

Does anyone know how to pass a date or string argument to a function that is part of a contract in rust or c?

Answers much appreciated.

I'm assuming you mean sending it as argument to an already deployed smart contract, using erdpy.

There is no built-in "date" type in either C or Rust smart contracts. You will have to use unix timestamp as a u64.

As for string, you'll have to hex-encode the bytes. There are plenty of tools online that do this, I personally use https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-hex.html

Make sure you add a "0x" in front and use "None" as delimiter.
