How to use a payable function with a ERC20 token with web3 v1

Question

I have a function in my Ethereum smart contract with the following interface

// submitting a review requires a payment
function addReview(string review) public payable

Using web3 v1 invoking this function would be something like this

contract.methods.addReview(review).send({
 from: accounts[0],
 value: SOME_AMOUNT_IN_ETH
})

How can I invoke this function with a different ERC20 token rather than using Ether?

Answer 1

If your payable function is foo and takes 1 parameter and you want to send x amount of ether and contract is the contract you want to refer to, you would invoke it like that:

contract.foo.value(x).(param1)(msg.sender);

I hope it is clear.
