@ethersproject/constants

What is @ethersproject/constants?

@ethersproject/constants is a package that provides a collection of common constants used in Ethereum development. These constants include predefined values for addresses, hashes, and other frequently used Ethereum-related data.

What are @ethersproject/constants's main functionalities?

Addresses

Provides a constant for the zero address, which is often used as a placeholder or default address in Ethereum applications.

const { AddressZero } = require('@ethersproject/constants');
console.log(AddressZero); // Output: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'

Hashes

Provides a constant for the zero hash, which is a hash filled with zeros and is often used as a default or placeholder hash.

const { HashZero } = require('@ethersproject/constants');
console.log(HashZero); // Output: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'

Ether Units

Provides a constant for the number of wei per ether, which is useful for converting between ether and wei units.

const { WeiPerEther } = require('@ethersproject/constants');
console.log(WeiPerEther.toString()); // Output: '1000000000000000000'

Negative One

Provides a constant for the value negative one, which can be useful in various calculations and comparisons.

const { NegativeOne } = require('@ethersproject/constants');
console.log(NegativeOne.toString()); // Output: '-1'
