ABIType

Strict TypeScript types for Ethereum ABIs. ABIType provides utilities and type definitions for ABI properties and values, covering the Contract ABI Specification, as well as EIP-712 Typed Data.

import { ExtractAbiFunctions } from 'abitype'

const erc721Abi = [...] as const

type Result = ExtractAbiFunctions<typeof erc721Abi, 'payable'>

Works great for adding blazing fast autocomplete and type checking to functions, variables, or your own types. No need to generate types with third-party tools – just use your ABI and let TypeScript do the rest!

Installation

npm install abitype

Usage

Since ABIs can contain deeply nested arrays and objects, you must assert your ABIs to constants using const assertions. This allows TypeScript to take the most specific types for expressions and avoid type widening (e.g. no going from "hello" to string).

const erc721Abi = [...] as const

const erc721Abi = <const>[...]

Utilities

AbiParameterToPrimitiveType

Converts AbiParameter to corresponding TypeScript primitive type.

import { AbiParameterToPrimitiveType } from 'abitype'

type Result = AbiParameterToPrimitiveType<{
  name: 'owner'
  type: 'address'
}>

AbiParametersToPrimitiveTypes

Converts array of AbiParameter to corresponding TypeScript primitive types.

import { AbiParametersToPrimitiveTypes } from 'abitype'

type Result = AbiParametersToPrimitiveTypes<
  [
    {
      name: 'to'
      type: 'address'
    },
    {
      name: 'tokenId'
      type: 'uint256'
    },
  ]
>

AbiTypeToPrimitiveType

Converts AbiType to corresponding TypeScript primitive type.

import { AbiParametersToPrimitiveTypes } from 'abitype'

type Result = AbiTypeToPrimitiveType<'address'>

Note Does not include full array or tuple conversion. Use AbiParameterToPrimitiveType to fully convert array and tuple types.

ExtractAbiError

Extracts all AbiError types from Abi

import { ExtractAbiError } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiError<typeof erc721Abi, 'SomeError'>

ExtractAbiErrorNames

Extracts all AbiError names from Abi

import { ExtractAbiErrorNames } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiErrorNames<typeof erc721Abi>

ExtractAbiErrors

Extracts all AbiError types from Abi

import { ExtractAbiErrors } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiErrors<typeof erc721Abi>

ExtractAbiEvent

Extracts AbiEvent with name from Abi

import { ExtractAbiEvent } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiEvent<typeof erc721Abi, 'Transfer'>

ExtractAbiEventNames

Extracts all AbiEvent names from Abi

import { ExtractAbiEventNames } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiEventNames<typeof erc721Abi>

ExtractAbiEvents

Extracts all AbiEvent types from Abi

import { ExtractAbiEvents } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiEvents<typeof erc721Abi>

ExtractAbiFunction

Extracts AbiFunction with name from Abi

import { AbiFunction } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiFunction<typeof erc721Abi, 'balanceOf'>

ExtractAbiFunctionNames

Extracts all AbiFunction names from Abi

import { ExtractAbiFunctionNames } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiFunctionNames<typeof erc721Abi>

ExtractAbiFunctions

Extracts all AbiFunction types from Abi

import { ExtractAbiFunctions } from 'abitype'

type Result = ExtractAbiFunctions<typeof erc721Abi>

By default, extracts all functions, but you can also filter by AbiStateMutability:

type Result = ExtractAbiFunctions<typeof erc721Abi, 'view'>

IsAbi

Checks if type is Abi

import { IsAbi } from 'abitype'

type Result = IsAbi<typeof erc721Abi>

IsTypedData

Checks if type is TypedData

import { IsTypedData } from 'abitype'

type Result = IsTypedData<{
  Person: [
    { name: 'name'; type: 'string' },
    { name: 'wallet'; type: 'address' },
  ]
  Mail: [
    { name: 'from'; type: 'Person' },
    { name: 'to'; type: 'Person' },
    { name: 'contents'; type: 'string' },
  ]
}>

TypedDataToPrimitiveTypes

Converts EIP-712 TypedData to corresponding TypeScript primitive type.

import { TypedDataToPrimitiveTypes } from 'abitype'

type Result = TypedDataToPrimitiveTypes<{
  Person: [
    { name: 'name'; type: 'string' },
    { name: 'wallet'; type: 'address' },
  ]
  Mail: [
    { name: 'from'; type: 'Person' },
    { name: 'to'; type: 'Person' },
    { name: 'contents'; type: 'string' },
  ]
}>

import { TypedData } from 'abitype'

Configuration

ABIType tries to strike a balance between type exhaustiveness and speed with sensible defaults. In some cases, you might want to tune your configuration (e.g. fixed array length). To do this, the following configuration options are available:

Configuration options are customizable using declaration merging. Just extend the Config interface either directly in your code or in a d.ts file (e.g. abi.d.ts):

declare module 'abitype' {
  export interface Config {
    FixedArrayMaxLength: 6
  }
}

Warning When configuring ArrayMaxDepth, FixedArrayMinLength, and FixedArrayMaxLength, there are trade-offs. For example, choosing large numbers for ArrayMaxDepth and increasing the range between FixedArrayMinLength and FixedArrayMaxLength will make your types more exhaustive, but will also slow down the compiler for type checking, autocomplete, etc.
