= Utilities
|
||||
|
||||
Miscellaneous contracts containing utility functions, often related to working with different data types.
|
||||
Miscellaneous contracts and libraries containing utility functions you can use to improve security, work with new data types, or safely use low-level primitives.
|
||||
|
||||
Security tools include:
|
||||
|
||||
* {Pausable}: provides a simple way to halt activity in your contracts (often in reponse to an external threat).
|
||||
* {ReentrancyGuard}: protects you from https://blog.openzeppelin.com/reentrancy-after-istanbul/[reentrant calls].
|
||||
|
||||
The {Address}, {Arrays} and {Strings} libraries provide more operations related to these native data types, while {SafeCast} adds ways to safely convert between the different signed and unsigned numeric types.
|
||||
|
||||
For new data types:
|
||||
|
||||
* {Counters}: a simple way to get a counter that can only be incremented or decremented. Very useful for ID generation, counting contract activity, among others.
|
||||
* {EnumerableMap}: like Solidity's https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/types.html#mapping-types[`mapping`] type, but with key-value _enumeration_: this will let you know how many entries a mapping has, and iterate over them (which is not possible with `mapping`).
|
||||
* {EnumerableSet}: like {EnumerableMap}, but for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(abstract_data_type)[sets]. Can be used to store privileged accounts, issued IDs, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
[NOTE]
|
||||
====
|
||||
Because Solidity does not support generic types, {EnumerableMap} and {EnumerableSet} are specialized to a limited number of key-value types.
|
||||
|
||||
As of v3.0, {EnumerableMap} supports `uint256 -> address` (`UintToAddressMap`), and {EnumerableSet} supports `address` and `uint256` (`AddressSet` and `UintSet`).
|
||||
====
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, {Create2} contains all necessary utilities to safely use the https://blog.openzeppelin.com/getting-the-most-out-of-create2/[`CREATE2` EVM opcode], without having to deal with low-level assembly.
