Abstract Provider
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
This sub-module is part of the [ethers project](https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js).
|
|
|
|
It is responsible for defining the common interface for a Provider, which in
|
|
ethers differs quite substantially from Web3.js.
|
|
|
|
A Provider is an abstraction of non-account-based operations on a blockchain and
|
|
is generally not directly involved in signing transaction or data.
|
|
|
|
For signing, see the [Abstract Signer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ethersproject/abstract-signer)
|
|
or [Wallet](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ethersproject/wallet) sub-modules.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the [documentation](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/providers/).

Importing
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Most users will prefer to use the [umbrella package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ethers),
|
|
but for those with more specific needs, individual components can be imported.
|
|
|
|

|
|
const {
