Support for Type Alias

[pscott]

Cairo-lang 0.8.0 added Type Aliases but it looks like this plugin does not allow one to actually use them :(

Here's a code example that uses it. Try running it, you should have

HardhatPluginError: Expected address to be a tuple

https://gist.github.com/pscott/5ac165dd35cd0a4ef55cddf77dda4d05

The way I would expect to call a type alias is this way:

// Assuming we have `using Foo = (bar: felt, zoro: felt)`, then in ts I would expect
[{bar: 1}, {zoro: 2}]

But this is just an idea, might not be the best way to call use it :)

You are right, it is not supported. However the error I'm getting is:

HardhatPluginError: Type address : felt not present in ABI.

Yeah I think it depends on what syntax you're using. I think the "expected address to be a tuple" happens whem I call it with

greeting.invoke(type_alias, {
  address: {1}
}

But I'm not sure exactly. I tried many different syntaxes because I thought maybe I was just using the wrong syntax :)
I think first we'd need to define which syntax we want to use! :)
