import Syntax from '@theme/Syntax';
LIGO can work together with other smart contract languages on Tezos. However
data structures might have different representations in Michelson and not
correctly match the standard LIGO types.
## Michelson types and annotations
Michelson types consist of `or`'s and `pair`'s, combined with field annotations.
Field annotations add contraints on a Michelson type, for example a pair of
`(pair (int %foo) (string %bar))` will only work with the exact equivalence or
the same type without the field annotations.
To clarify:
```michelson
(pair (int %foo) (string %bar))
````
works with
```michelson
(pair (int %foo) (string %bar))
```
works with
```michelson
(pair int string)
```
works not with
```michelson
(pair (int %bar) (string %foo))
```
works not with
```michelson
(pair (string %bar) (int %foo))
```
:::info
In the case of annotated entrypoints - the annotated `or` tree directly under
`parameter` in a contract - you should annotations, as otherwise it would
become unclear which entrypoint you are referring to.
:::
## Entrypoints and annotations
It's possible for a contract to have multiple entrypoints, which translates in
LIGO to a `parameter` with a variant type as shown here:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
type storage is int
type parameter is
| Left of int
| Right of int
function main (const p: parameter; const x: storage): (list(operation) * storage) is
((nil: list(operation)), case p of
| Left(i) -> x - i
| Right(i) -> x + i
end)
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
type storage = int
type parameter =
| Left of int
| Right of int
let main ((p, x): (parameter * storage)): (operation list * storage) =
(([]: operation list), (match p with
| Left i -> x - i
| Right i -> x + i
))
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
type storage = int
type parameter =
| Left(int)
| Right(int)
let main = ((p, x): (parameter, storage)): (list(operation), storage) => {
([]: list(operation), (switch(p) {
| Left(i) => x - i
| Right(i) => x + i
}))
};
```
</Syntax>
This contract can be called by another contract, like this one:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo group=get_entrypoint_opt
type storage is int
type parameter is int
type x is Left of int
function main (const p: parameter; const s: storage): (list(operation) * storage) is block {
const contract: contract(x) =
case (Tezos.get_entrypoint_opt("%left", ("tz1KqTpEZ7Yob7QbPE4Hy4Wo8fHG8LhKxZSx":address)): option(contract(x))) of
| Some (c) -> c
| None -> (failwith("not a correct contract") : contract(x))
end;
const result: (list(operation) * storage) = ((list [Tezos.transaction(Left(2), 2mutez, contract)]: list(operation)), s)
} with result
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo group=get_entrypoint_opt
type storage = int
type parameter = int
type x = Left of int
let main (p, s: parameter * storage): operation list * storage = (
let contract: x contract =
match ((Tezos.get_entrypoint_opt "%left" ("tz1KqTpEZ7Yob7QbPE4Hy4Wo8fHG8LhKxZSx": address)): x contract option) with
| Some c -> c
| None -> (failwith "contract does not match": x contract)
in
(([
Tezos.transaction (Left 2) 2mutez contract;
]: operation list), s)
)
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo group=get_entrypoint_opt
type storage = int;
type parameter = int;
type x = Left(int);
let main = ((p, s): (parameter, storage)): (list(operation), storage) => {
let contract: contract(x) =
switch (Tezos.get_entrypoint_opt("%left", ("tz1KqTpEZ7Yob7QbPE4Hy4Wo8fHG8LhKxZSx": address)): option(contract(x))) {
| Some c => c
| None => (failwith ("contract does not match"): contract(x))
};
([
Tezos.transaction(Left(2), 2mutez, contract)
]: list(operation), s);
};
```
</Syntax>
Notice how we directly use the `%left` entrypoint without mentioning the
`%right` entrypoint. This is done with the help of annotations. Without
annotations it wouldn't be clear what our `int` would be referring to.
This currently only works for `or`'s or variant types in LIGO.
## Interop with Michelson
To interop with existing Michelson code or for compatibility with certain
development tooling, LIGO has two special interop types: `michelson_or` and
`michelson_pair`. These types give the flexibility to model the exact Michelson
output, including field annotations.
Take for example the following Michelson type that we want to interop with:
```michelson
(or
(unit %z)
(or %other
(unit %y)
(pair %other
(string %x)
(pair %other
(int %w)
(nat %v)))))
```
To reproduce this type we can use the following LIGO code:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
type w_and_v is michelson_pair(int, "w", nat, "v")
type x_and is michelson_pair(string, "x", w_and_v, "other")
type y_or is michelson_or(unit, "y", x_and, "other")
type z_or is michelson_or(unit, "z", y_or, "other")
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
type w_and_v = (int, "w", nat, "v") michelson_pair
type x_and = (string, "x", w_and_v, "other") michelson_pair
type y_or = (unit, "y", x_and, "other") michelson_or
type z_or = (unit, "z", y_or, "other") michelson_or
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
type w_and_v = michelson_pair(int, "w", nat, "v")
type x_and = michelson_pair(string, "x", w_and_v, "other")
type y_or = michelson_or(unit, "y", x_and, "other")
type z_or = michelson_or(unit, "z", y_or, "other")
```
</Syntax>
If you don't want to have an annotation, you need to provide an empty string.
:::info
Alternatively, if annotations are not important you can also use plain tuples
for pair's instead. Plain tuples don't have any annotations.
:::
To use variables of type `michelson_or` you have to use `M_left` and `M_right`.
`M_left` picks the left `or` case while `M_right` picks the right `or` case.
For `michelson_pair` you need to use tuples.
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
const z: z_or = (M_left (unit) : z_or);
const y_1: y_or = (M_left (unit): y_or);
const y: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or);
const x_pair: x_and = ("foo", (2, 3n));
const x_1: y_or = (M_right (x_pair): y_or);
const x: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or);
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
let z: z_or = (M_left (unit) : z_or)
let y_1: y_or = (M_left (unit): y_or)
let y: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or)
let x_pair: x_and = ("foo", (2, 3n))
let x_1: y_or = (M_right (x_pair): y_or)
let x: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or)
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
let z: z_or = (M_left (unit) : z_or)
let y_1: y_or = (M_left (unit): y_or)
let y: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or)
let x_pair: x_and = ("foo", (2, 3n))
let x_1: y_or = (M_right (x_pair): y_or)
let x: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or)
```
</Syntax>
## Helper functions
Converting between different LIGO types and data structures can happen in two
ways. The first way is to use the provided layout conversion functions, and the
second way is to handle the layout conversion manually.
:::info
In both cases it will increase the size of the smart contract and the
conversion will happen when running the smart contract.
:::
### Converting left combed Michelson data structures
Here's an example of a left combed Michelson data structure using pairs:
```michelson
(pair %other
(pair %other
(string %s)
(int %w)
)
(nat %v)
)
```
Which could respond with the following record type:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
type l_record is record [
s: string;
w: int;
v: nat
]
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
type l_record = {
s: string;
w: int;
v: nat
}
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
type l_record = {
s: string,
w: int,
v: nat
}
```
</Syntax>
If we want to convert from the Michelson type to our record type and vice
versa, we can use the following code:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
type michelson is michelson_pair_left_comb(l_record)
function of_michelson (const f: michelson) : l_record is
block {
const p: l_record = Layout.convert_from_left_comb(f)
}
with p
function to_michelson (const f: l_record) : michelson is
block {
const p: michelson = Layout.convert_to_left_comb ((f: l_record))
}
with p
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
type michelson = l_record michelson_pair_left_comb
let of_michelson (f: michelson) : l_record =
let p: l_record = Layout.convert_from_left_comb f in
p
let to_michelson (f: l_record) : michelson =
let p = Layout.convert_to_left_comb (f: l_record) in
p
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
type michelson = michelson_pair_left_comb(l_record);
let of_michelson = (f: michelson) : l_record => {
let p: l_record = Layout.convert_from_left_comb(f);
p
};
let to_michelson = (f: l_record) : michelson => {
let p = Layout.convert_to_left_comb(f: l_record);
p
}
```
</Syntax>
In the case of a left combed Michelson `or` data structure, that you want to
translate to a variant, you can use the `michelson_or_left_comb` type.
For example:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
type vari is
| Foo of int
| Bar of nat
| Other of bool
type r is michelson_or_left_comb(vari)
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
type vari =
| Foo of int
| Bar of nat
| Other of bool
type r = vari michelson_or_left_comb
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
type vari =
| Foo(int)
| Bar(nat)
| Other(bool)
type r = michelson_or_left_comb(vari)
```
</Syntax>
And then use these types in `Layout.convert_from_left_comb` or
`Layout.convert_to_left_comb`, similar to the `pair`s example above, like this:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo
function of_michelson_or (const f: r) : vari is
block {
const p: vari = Layout.convert_from_left_comb(f)
}
with p
function to_michelson_or (const f: vari) : r is
block {
const p: r = Layout.convert_to_left_comb((f: vari))
}
with p
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="cameligo">
```cameligo
let of_michelson_or (f: r) : vari =
let p: vari = Layout.convert_from_left_comb f in
p
let to_michelson_or (f: vari) : r =
let p = Layout.convert_to_left_comb (f: vari) in
p
```
</Syntax>
<Syntax syntax="reasonligo">
```reasonligo
let of_michelson_or = (f: r) : vari => {
let p: vari = Layout.convert_from_left_comb(f);
p
};
let to_michelson_or = (f: vari) : r => {
let p = Layout.convert_to_left_comb(f: vari);
p
}
```
</Syntax>
### Converting right combed Michelson data structures
In the case of right combed data structures, like:
```michelson
(pair %other
(string %s)
(pair %other
(int %w)
(nat %v)
)
)
```
you can almost use the same code as that for the left combed data structures,
but with `michelson_or_right_comb`, `michelson_pair_right_comb`,
`Layout.convert_from_right_comb`, and `Layout.convert_to_left_comb`
respectively.
### Manual data structure conversion
If you want to get your hands dirty, it's also possible to do manual data
structure conversion.
The following code can be used as inspiration:
<Syntax syntax="pascaligo">
```pascaligo group=helper_functions
type z_to_v is
| Z

| X
| W
| V
type w_or_v is michelson_or(unit, "w", unit, "v")

type y_or is michelson_or(unit, "y", x_or, "other")
type z_or is michelson_or(unit, "z", y_or, "other")
type test is record [
z: string;
y: int;
x: string;
w: bool;
v: int;
]
function make_concrete_sum (const r: z_to_v) : z_or is block {
const z: z_or = (M_left (unit) : z_or);
const y_1: y_or = (M_left (unit): y_or);
const y: z_or = (M_right (y_1) : z_or);
const x_2: x_or = (M_left (unit): x_or);
const x_1: y_or = (M_right (x_2): y_or);

const w_1: y_or = (M_right (w_2): y_or);
const w: z_or = (M_right (w_1) : z_or);

const v_2: x_or = (M_right (v_3): x_or);
const v_1: y_or = (M_right (v_2): y_or);
const v: z_or = (M_right (v_1) : z_or);

## Amendment
With the upcoming 007 amendment to Tezos this will change though, and also
`pair`'s can be ordered differently.
