Interface

Creating Instances

**new **ethers . utils . Interface( abi )

Create a new Interface from a JSON string or object representing abi.

The abi may be a JSON string or the parsed Object (using JSON.parse) which is emitted by the Solidity compiler (or compatible languages).

The abi may also be a Human-Readable Abi, which is a format the Ethers created to simplify manually typing the ABI into the source and so that a Contract ABI can also be referenced easily within the same source file.

Properties

interface . fragments => Array< Fragment >

All the Fragments in the interface.

interface . events => Array< EventFragment >

All the Event Fragments in the interface.

interface . functions => Array< FunctionFragment >

All the Function Fragments in the interface.

interface . deploy => ConstructorFragment

The Constructor Fragments for the interface.

Formatting

interface . format( [ format ] ) => string | Array< string >

Return the formatted Interface. If the format type is json a single string is returned, otherwise an Array of the human-readable strings is returned.

Fragment Access

interface . getFunction( fragment ) => FunctionFragment

Returns the FunctionFragment for fragment (see Specifying Fragments).

interface . getEvent( fragment ) => EventFragment

Returns the EventFragment for fragment (see Specifying Fragments).

Signature and Topic Hashes

interface . getSighash( fragment ) => string< DataHexString< 4 > >

Return the sighash (or Function Selector) for fragment (see Specifying Fragments).

interface . getEventTopic( fragment ) => string< DataHexString< 32 > >

Return the topic hash for fragment (see Specifying Fragments).

Encoding Data

interface . encodeDeploy( [ values ] ) => string< DataHexString >

Return the encoded deployment data, which can be concatenated to the deployment bytecode of a contract to pass values into the contract constructor.

interface . encodeFilterTopics( fragment [ , values ] ) => Array< topic | Array< topic > >

Returns the encoded topic filter, which can be passed to getLogs for fragment (see Specifying Fragments) for the given values.

Each topic is a 32 byte (64 nibble) DataHexString.

interface . encodeFunctionData( fragment [ , values ] ) => string< DataHexString >

Returns the encoded data, which can be used as the data for a transaction for fragment (see Specifying Fragments) for the given values.

interface . encodeFunctionResult( fragment [ , values ] ) => string< DataHexString >

Returns the encoded result, which would normally be the response from a call for fragment (see Specifying Fragments) for the given values.

Most developers will not need this method, but may be useful for authors of a mock blockchain.

Decoding Data

interface . decodeEventLog( fragment , data [ , topics ] ) => Result

Returns the decoded event values from an event log for fragment (see Specifying Fragments) for the given data with the optional topics.

If topics is not specified, placeholders will be inserted into the result.

interface . decodeFunctionData( fragment , data ) => Result

Returns the decoded values from transaction data for fragment (see Specifying Fragments) for the given data.

Most developers will not need this method, but may be useful for debugging or inspecting transactions.

interface . decodeFunctionResult( fragment , data ) => Result

Returns the decoded values from the result of a call for fragment (see Specifying Fragments) for the given data.

Parsing

interface . parseLog( log ) => LogDescription

Search the event that matches the log topic hash and parse the values the log represents.

interface . parseTransaction( transaction ) => TransactionDescription

Search for the function that matches the transaction data sighash and parse the transaction properties.

Types

Result

LogDescription

logDescription . args => Result

The values of the input parameters of the event.

logDescription . eventFragment => EventFragment

The EventFragment which matches the topic in the Log.

logDescription . name => string

The event name. (e.g. Transfer)

logDescription . signature => string

The event signature. (e.g. Transfer(address,address,uint256))

logDescription . topic => string

The topic hash.

TransactionDescription

transactionDescription . args => Result

The decoded values from the transaction data which were passed as the input parameters.

transactionDescription . functionFragment => FunctionFragment

The FunctionFragment which matches the sighash in the transaction data.

transactionDescription . name => string

The name of the function. (e.g. transfer)

transactionDescription . sighash => string

The sighash (or function selector) that matched the transaction data.

transactionDescription . signature => string

The signature of the function. (e.g. transfer(address,uint256))

transactionDescription . value => BigNumber

The value from the transaction.
