# CallGenericWriteFunction

{% hint style="info" %}
This function triggers a modal for the user to confirm the transaction
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
This is an advanced feature and <mark style="color:red;">can drain user wallet funds</mark> if you interact with a malicious contract. Only link to trusted smart contract authors.
{% endhint %}

## Description

This allows you to call any smart contract function and process the response. This function should be used to query functions that require the users signature, hence it should be invoked only once the user is logged in.

## Details

### Signature

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```csharp
Task CallGenericWriteFunction(dynamic args, System.Action<dynamic> callback = null)
```

{% endcode %}

### Return Value

None

### Handling Large Numerical Values

{% hint style="warning" %}
Applicable to EVM Chains only
{% endhint %}

While passing in large numerical values (values above **9007199254740991**) in `args.params`, a conversion to string format needs to be made. You can use the following methods that convert the number to the appropriate format:

```csharp
// For int values
string ConvertNumberToBigNumber(int value, int decimals);

// For double values
string ConvertNumberToBigNumber(double value, int decimals);

// For float values
string ConvertNumberToBigNumber(float value, int decimals);
```

## Example

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```csharp
using System;
using Metafi.Unity;

public class StakeTokenButton : MonoBehaviour {
    public async void StakeTokens(){
        await MetafiProvider.Instance.CallGenericWriteFunction(new {
            contractAddress = "contract-address",
            functionABIPath = @"Assets/Resources/Contracts/path-to-contract.json",
            functionName = "stakeTokens",
            value = Utils.ConvertNumberToBigNumber(0.1, 18),
            @params = new [] {"param1", "param2"},
            chain = Chains.MUMBAI,
        },
        ((System.Action<dynamic>) (result => {
            Debug.Log("CallGenericWriteFunction complete, result: " + result.ToString());
        })));
    }
}
```
