Context.sol

This is a Solidity file that provides information about the current execution context, including the sender of the transaction and its data. It's used to provide a more secure way of accessing the sender and the data of a transaction, especially when dealing with GSN meta-transactions.

Context

This abstract contract provides secure access to the sender of the transaction and its data.

_msgSender

_msgSender() internal view virtual returns (address payable)

This method returns the sender of the transaction in a more secure manner.

Return Values

• address payable: The address of the sender of the transaction.

_msgData

_msgData() internal view virtual returns (bytes memory)

This method returns the data of the transaction in a more secure manner.

Return Values

• bytes memory: The data of the transaction.

Usage of Context

This example demonstrates the usage of the Context contract and its methods within another contract.

// This is a contract that inherits from the Context contract
contract MyContract is Context {
    function performAction() public {
        address sender = _msgSender();  // Securely get the sender of the transaction
        bytes memory data = _msgData();  // Securely get the data of the transaction
    }
}
