AbiError

Utilities & types for working with Errors on ABIs.

AbiError is a sub-type of AbiItem.

Examples

Below are some examples demonstrating common usages of the AbiError module:

Instantiating via JSON ABI

An AbiError can be instantiated from a JSON ABI by using AbiError.fromAbi:

import { Abi, AbiError } from 'ox'
 
const abi = Abi.from([
  'function foo()',
  'error BadSignatureV(uint8 v)',
  'function bar(string a) returns (uint256 x)',
])
 
const 
const item: {
    readonly name: "BadSignatureV";
    readonly type: "error";
    readonly inputs: readonly [...];
}item = AbiError.fromAbi(abi, 'BadSignatureV')

Instantiating via Human-Readable ABI Item

An AbiError can be instantiated from a human-readable ABI by using AbiError.from:

import { AbiError } from 'ox'
 
const error = AbiError.from('error BadSignatureV(uint8 v)')
 
const error: {
    readonly name: "BadSignatureV";
    readonly type: "error";
    readonly inputs: readonly [{
        readonly type: "uint8";
        readonly name: "v";
    }];
}error

Decoding Error Data

Error data can be ABI-decoded using the AbiError.decode function.

import { Abi, AbiError } from 'ox'
 
const abi = Abi.from([...])
const error = AbiError.fromAbi(abi, 'InvalidSignature')
 
const value = AbiError.decode(error, '0xecde634900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001a400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000450000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001')

Functions

Name	Description
`AbiError.decode`	ABI-decodes the provided error input (`inputs`).
`AbiError.encode`	ABI-encodes the provided error input (`inputs`), prefixed with the 4 byte error selector.
`AbiError.format`	Formats an `AbiError.AbiError` into a Human Readable ABI Error.
`AbiError.from`	Parses an arbitrary JSON ABI Error or Human Readable ABI Error into a typed `AbiError.AbiError`.
`AbiError.fromAbi`	Extracts an `AbiError.AbiError` from an `Abi.Abi` given a name and optional arguments.
`AbiError.getSelector`	Computes the 4-byte selector for an `AbiError.AbiError`.

Types

Name	Description
`AbiError.AbiError`	Root type for an `AbiItem.AbiItem` with an `error` type.
`AbiError.ExtractNames`
`AbiError.FromAbi`	Extracts an `AbiError.AbiError` item from an `Abi.Abi`, given a name.
`AbiError.Name`	Extracts the names of all `AbiError.AbiError` items in an `Abi.Abi`.
