Events are an essential part of smart contract development, as they allow you to track specific occurrences on the blockchain, such as transactions, state changes, or function calls. + +## Overview + +ethers-rs provides a simple and efficient way to interact with events emitted by smart contracts. You can listen to events, filter them based on certain conditions, and subscribe to event streams for real-time updates. The key components you will work with are: + +1. Event: A struct representing an event emitted by a smart contract. +2. EventWatcher: A struct that allows you to monitor and filter events. +3. SubscriptionStream: A stream of events you can subscribe to for real-time updates. + +## Getting Started + +Before diving into event handling, ensure you have ethers-rs added to your project's dependencies in Cargo.toml: + +```toml +[dependencies] +ethers = { version = "2.0.0.", features = ["full"] } +``` + +Now, let's import the necessary components from the ethers-rs library: + +```rust +use ethers::{ +prelude::contract::{Contract, EthEvent}, +}; +``` + +### Listening to Events + +To listen to events, you'll need to instantiate a Contract object and use the event method to create an Event struct.
