ERC1155 Token type validation

[rohitguptap]

is there an way to validate if the token is of type ERC1155 or any other by passing the ABI, Token ID & Signer details to the Contract contructor? or any other alternative

You may try to static call the methods in the standard.

const result = await contract.callStatic.transfer(address1, nftId1)
expect(result).to.be.true;

This will not send any transactions, just do a eth_call, which will throw if the contract doesn't have that function (or function is present but it reverts due to some reason).
