# Build Calldata

The NiftyConnect exchange contract provides a method to build calldata which is necessary in `makeOrder` and `takeOrder`.

```js
const sellCalldata = await niftyConnectExchangeInst.buildCallData(
    ERC721TransferSelector, // uint selector,
    nftOwner, // address from,
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", // address to,
    TestERC721.address,// address nftAddress,
    tokenId, // uint256 tokenId,
    ERC721_AMOUNT,// uint256 amount,
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", // bytes32 merkleRoot
    [],// bytes32[] memory merkleProof
);

const buyCalldata = await niftyConnectExchangeInst.buildCallData(
    ERC721TransferSelector, // uint selector,
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", // address from,
    buyer, // address to,
    TestERC721.address,// address nftAddress,
    tokenId, // uint256 tokenId,
    ERC721_AMOUNT,// uint256 amount,
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", // bytes32 merkleRoot
    [],// bytes32[] memory merkleProof
);
```

The above is js example to call the util method.

| merkleRoot  | bytes32    | Only used in trait-based order, leave it to zero for other scenarios                                           |
| merkleProof | bytes32\[] | Only used in trait-based order, leave it to empty for other scenarios                                          |
