Type Alias: BigNumberish

BigNumberish = string | number | bigint

Defined in: src/types/lib/index.ts:31

A number, in any of the three forms JavaScript carries one : a number, a bigint, or a string spelling it in decimal or in 0x hexadecimal.

The type itself accepts any string ; num.isBigNumberish is the check made at runtime. A number or a bigint may be negative, whereas a string is unsigned : '-1' is text to the library, except for the signed integer types i8 to i128, which read it as -1.

Example

const decimals: BigNumberish = 18;
const amount: BigNumberish = 10n ** 18n;
// the selector of balanceOf
const selector: BigNumberish = '0x2e4263afad30923c891518314c3c95dbe830a16874e8abc5777a9a20b54c76e';
