## Exports The next question we'll address is how to access functions from another Vyper contract. We'll demonstrate this with our `five_more` contract. First we'll have a look at the `five_more.json` file, specifically the `abi` portion: ```json { "contract_name": "five_more", "bytecode": "346180615761000c61001e565b100286100e565b396100266100f358600760055", "abi": [ { "stateMutability": "nonpayable", "type": "constructor", "inputs": [], "outputs": [] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "retrieve", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256" } ] }, { "stateMutability": "nonpayable", "type": "function", "name": "store", "inputs": [ { "name": "new_number", "type": "uint256" } ], "outputs": [] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "my_name", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "string" } ] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "my_favorite_number", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256" } ] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "list_of_numbers", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256[]" } ] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "list_of_people", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "tuple[]" } ] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "index", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "uint256" } ] }, { "stateMutability": "view", "type": "function", "name": "name_to_favorite_number", "inputs": [], "outputs": [ { "name": "", "type": "map(string,uint256)" } ] } ], "vmf": "evm" } ``` We can select which functions we want to expose in our contract. We'll use the `exports` keyword to achieve this: ```vyper exports: ( favorites.retrieve, favorites.store ) ``` We can access these functions from our `five_more` contract by using the following format: ```vyper favorites.retrieve() ``` ```vyper favorites.store(new_number) ``` Let's add another external function called `store` that adds a new number to the `my_favorite_number` variable: ```vyper @external def store(new_number: uint256): favorites.my_favorite_number = new_number + 5 ``` Let's compile our updated `five_more` contract: ```bash mox compile ``` We can now use the `store` function in our `deploy.py` script to store a new value in the `my_favorite_number` variable: ```python five_more_contract.store(90) print(five_more_contract.retrieve()) ``` And now we'll run our deploy script: ```bash mox run deploy ``` We should see that `retrieve` gives us a new value of 95! We can think of the `exports` keyword like this, if we have a contract `favorites.vy` inside of `five_more.vy`. Using the `exports` keyword allows us to define which of the functions or public variables from `favorites.vy` we want to expose publicly in our `five_more.vy` contract.
