How do we know where to use which method

[Sairam002]

Hi all, I'm a beginner to programming and I just completed my Lesson-4. Just started my lesson-5 and it just blew my mind.

I can't understand the documentation, for instance let's say what does the word contractFactory means and what parameters will contractFactory will take in deploy.js (or) at timestamp 07:12:49 in javascript version video line number - 21 when should we give .wait() what parameter should be passed into the wait.

@PatrickAlphaC is there any cheetsheet available for get to know about these apart from documentation??

This kept in total confusion and scratching my head.
Can some one help me.

Thanks for making this issue.

Yeah Ethers docs can be a bit confusing. To make your question a little more specific, let's start from the top. What is the first function that is confusing to you?

If I may attempt to rephrase your question...I think you are asking, "For asynchronous operations, is there a limit on how long the program will wait for each asynchronous operation to complete before it gives up and moves on to run the next line of code?"

[Sairam002]

Yes, I forget to mention async keyword.

Can somebody answer this question please??

[cymatic9]

So the simple answer is that there is no limit on how long an "await" will wait for. It will wait forever, until the promise either resolves or is rejected. Here is a Stackoverflow link that talks a bit about this.

If it helps to you, contractFactory is a contract that you can call and have functions that generates other contracts, and, in this sense, is a factory. Small contribution to your confusion I hope :)
