Display Logic and Input
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When creating an Application, it is useful to convert between
|
|
|
|
|
user-friendly strings (usually displaying **ether**) and the
|
|
|
|
|
machine-readable values that contracts and maths depend on
|
|
|
|
|
(usually in **wei**).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, a Wallet may specify the balance in ether, and
|
|
|
|
|
gas prices in gwei for the User Interface, but when sending
|
|
|
|
|
a transaction, both must be specified in wei.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [parseUnits](./) will parse a string representing
|
|
|
|
|
ether, such as `1.1` into a [BigNumber](../bignumber) in wei, and is
|
|
|
|
|
useful when a user types in a value, such as sending 1.1 ether.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [formatUnits](./) will format a [BigNumberish](../bignumber)
|
|
|
|
|
into a string, which is useful when displaying a balance.

### Decimal Count
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *unit* specified may be an integer, which indicates how
|
|
|
|
|
many decimal place the unit has. For example, 1 ether has 18 decimal
|
|
|
|
|
places for wei, and if this library were used with Bitcoin, 1 BTC
|
|
|
|
|
has 8 decimal places for satoshis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Named Units
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to specifying *unit* as a number of decimals, there
|
|
|
|
|
are several common units, which can be passed in as a string:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **wei** --- 0
|
|
|
|
|
* **kwei** --- 3
|
|
|
|
|
* **mwei** --- 6
|
|
|
|
|
* **gwei** --- 9
|
|
|
|
|
* **szabo** --- 12
|
|
|
|
|
* **finney** --- 15
|
|
|
|
|
* **ether** --- 18
|
