how to use token in a soroban smart contract

[indigo plinth]

Via the soroban SDK . You initialize a token with its address. How can you get the address of an asset in stellar. Where all you are given is an asset code and the issuer

Hey @indigo plinth, you need to wrap the Stellar classic asset to get the Address of the Stellar Asset Contract (SAC)

The wrapping is only done with soroban cli. Is there not a way of wrapping with the soroban js client

I am building a dApp that involves the use of stellar Asset.

My users would not understand wrapping asset because they are not going to be tech savvy

All they have would be a code and issuer address

Is there not a way of wrapping it via the soroban js client

So you want to use the token with js? Or within a smart contract?

Does anyone know how to interact with a getter function via js. I mean smart contract function that don't retrieve info only and does one pay gas fee for this

Js without frontend?

You can get a ledger entry or index emitted events to get data without a getter or gas. There are some examples in the rpciege game

But youre gonna wanna use js-soroban-client for now
