Get instantiated contract address from deployer contract

Question

In the example the returned type is a reference to a contract which implements the FromAccountId trait. I would like to just have the contract address (AccountId) stored so that the frontend can create instances of the contract. Is there a way to do this? thank you!

Answer 1

The returned reference also implements ToAccountId. So by calling to_account_id() on the returned type you should be able to get the AccountId.

Answer 2

After a look into the rust doc, it is possible to use a lower level call to do this.
