Release notes

In this release, we:

  • Added documentation for a contract call optimisation technique via pre-fetching dependencies which can result in as much as 2x faster transactions for users.

Summary

This PR adds documentation explaining how pre-fetching contract call/transaction dependencies can speed up transactions for users, and a recommended implementation for devs.

Checklist

  • All changes are covered by tests (or not applicable)
  • All changes are documented (or not applicable)
  • I reviewed the entire PR myself (preferably, on GH UI)
  • I described all Breaking Changes (or there's none)

Nice work Dhai, do you think this could have it's own section in the docs around front-end optimisations? And I think those diagrams could do with some more love, maybe generate them with a flow chart tool.

This can be mitigated by preparing the contract call _before_ the user presses 'Submit Transaction'. If the transaction is prepared beforehand, the SDK only has to send the transaction to the network and wait for it to be confirmed. This reflects the actual speed of the chain to the user.

You can experience this yourself by trying out this [demo](https://fuel-wallet-prefetch-experiment-75ug.vercel.app/).

Hmm should this be brought inside the SDK? Is it more beneficial for this to live inside a snippet?

This = demo or the hook?

The demo, usually we don't have any external deps for the docs, the links is from an external projects on Dhai's github


We recommend creating a `usePrepareContractCall` hook:

Should this all be in a snippet for forwards compatibility?

It could be; but that would mean us having to create a new project for snippets since this is a React snippet. In the interest of speed and considering how important this info is for our ecosystem projects, I think it is fine if we create the snippets in a separate PR. Nick wants us to announce this asap on Twitter

As much as we love teaching devs how to fetch data in React, we still have two more weeks of code freeze. 🙂

I disagree, this is not about teaching people how to fetch data in React. It's about the overall idea of preparing contract calls in advance, leading to a faster transaction experience.

About the code freeze, this is not adding any new code. Can we not get this in?

I think eliminated is the wrong wording here, as we are instead optimistically preparing the transaction.

Doesn't it makes sense in the context of a tranasction's lifetime for the end user?

@danielbate Agreed, the request is optimistically fetched, not eliminated.

It is eliminated from the contract call's lifecycle, so I strongly think it is eliminated in that context.

@danielbate in the interest of getting this out there and speed; can we proceed with these diagrams for now? I personally think they are ok, but yes we could do better. Also: will we be able to merge/release this now during the code freeze?

It seems confusing to mix React tips with core contract documentation.

A simple React recipe demoing the example hook may suffice.

I disagree that this is a React tip. Like I mentioned here: #3499 (comment)

We are not optimizing contract calls.

I disagree, the estimation itself isn't optimized - it's just done in advance which leads to faster/optimised contract calls.

Hmm, I'm hesitant about adding images to the docs.

If there is an immediate need to communicate this to the community, this can be done independently to the TS SDK documentation. Could do this via a Twitter thread with diagrams and stackblitz rather than breaking the code freeze and pushing something we aren't all happy with.
