NameTypeReturnsDescription
_canSetContractURIinternal view virtualboolRuns on every attempt to set the metadata of the contract. Returns whether contract metadata can be set in the given execution context.

This is an example smart contract demonstrating how to inherit from this extension and override the functions to add (optional) custom functionality.
