[sozo] parse `sozo call` results

[notV4l]

Its should be possible to parse sozo call results in a more friendly representation.
And also keep the ability to display raw results ( splitted with , could be convenient)

Do you have an idea how to tackle this @Nityam573?

Hi @notV4l ! Good idea 👍

I don't know what would be the best way to do that, so I share some ideas with you.

From the tag_or_address and the entrypoint we can retrieve the output type of the entrypoint from the contract ABI (as soon as the contract is known in the manifest_xxx.json file otherwise we should just display the raw output).
Then, from this output type which is a string, I guess we have to recursively parse it using the contract ABI until we find deserializable primitive types that can be displayed.

For example, I call ns-Actions get_player_position.
From the ns-Actions contract ABI, I find that:

• the output type is "dojo_examples::models::Position",
• dojo_examples::models::Position is composed of:
  • player which is a ContractAddress => we can deserialize and display it,
  • vec which is a Vec => search for Vec details in the ABI, ...

Maybe Cainome can also help us but I don't know if we can deserialize a type like dojo_examples::models::Position with Cainome, at runtime, with a string representation of that type 🤔 @glihm, any idea ?

Also, for the specific case of dojo_examples::models::Position, as it is a model, we can read its schema from its contract and deserialize it as we do in sozo model get.

Is anyone still working on this?

You could give it a shot if you see how to do so. @remybar has done some comments, let's know if you are missing some inputs to work on that. 👍
