abi-coder

ABI Coder

A set of high-level ABI encoding and decoding utils.

Motivation

There are several packages that provide ABI coding utils. However, there is no a high-level solution in the Ethers ecosystem. web3-eth-abi and abi-decoder depend on web3.js. @ethersproject/abi is pretty low-level. ethereumjs-abi works only with functions. Many other packages provide encoding or decoding only.

Features

• Function coding
• Event coding
• Constructor coding
• TS support

Installation

npm install abi-coder

Example

import Coder from 'abi-coder';

import * as erc20Abi from './abi/erc20.json';

const erc20Coder = new Coder(erc20Abi);

erc20Coder.getFunctionSelector('totalSupply');
// 0x18160ddd

erc20Coder.decodeEvent(
	[
		'0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef',
