Get deployed contract dynamically in node JS

Question

I am using Node JS and ethereum smart-contract. Every time contract gets deployed new addresses generated.

Is there a way that node JS always gets an updated address of a contract? Any API so that I don't have to go and update in node to connect contract through new address every time I deploy.

Answer 1

I would suggest you register your contract with Ethereum Name System (ENS) during the deployment.

• Create an ENS name

• Update its ADDRESS record to point to the latest contract deployment during the deployment

You can do this programmatically from JavaScript.
