Solana Anchor how to define custom types with array of structs?


After moving my structs inside the pub mod xyz {...}, My Rust code:

#[state]
#[derive(Default)]
#[derive(Copy)]//index as pid
pub struct Ppool {
  pub alloc_point: u64,
}
#[state]
pub struct Counter {
    pub authority: Pubkey,
    pub count: u64,
    pub pool_array: [Ppool; 20],
}

impl Counter {
    pub fn new(ctx: Context<Auth>) -> Result<Self> {
        Ok(Self {
            authority: *ctx.accounts.authority.key,
            count: 0,
            pool_array: [
              Ppool {
              alloc_point: 0,
            }; 20],
        })
    }

My Rust program can compile, but Anchor does not run with error:

await program.state.rpc.new({
  accounts: {
    authority: provider.wallet.publicKey,
  },
});

TypeError: Cannot read property 'rpc' of undefined

I know from this tutorial Basic1: https://project-serum.github.io/anchor/tutorials/tutorial-1.html#defining-a-program, it says "If you'd like to pass in your own type as an input to an instruction handler, then it must be defined in the same src/lib.rs file as the #[program] module, so that the IDL parser can pick it up.", and tutorial Basic4 about state structs...

Furthermore, if I move the Ppool struct outside of the mod, the Rust will compile, but Anchor will say "Error: User defined types not provided"... So I think the Ppool struct should stay inside the mod

but after moving my Ppool struct into the mod, my Ppool struct cannot have #[state] ... see the errors below:

What kind of macro should I add for my Ppool struct inside the mod?


Solution

  • Solved by putting arrays into an array of structs... please see Anchor repo > tests > zero-copy
