Strict TypeScript types for Ethereum ABIs. ABIType provides utilities and type definitions for ABI properties and values, covering the Contract ABI Specification, as well as EIP-712 Typed Data.

import { 
  
type AbiParametersToPrimitiveTypes<abiParameters extends readonly AbiParameter[], abiParameterKind extends AbiParameterKind = AbiParameterKind> = { [key in keyof { [key in keyof abiParameters]: AbiParameterToPrimitiveType<abiParameters[key], abiParameterKind>; }]: { [key in keyof abiParameters]: AbiParameterToPrimitiveType<abiParameters[key], abiParameterKind>; }[key]; }

Converts array of AbiParameter to corresponding TypeScript primitive types.

type ExtractAbiFunction<abi extends Abi, functionName extends ExtractAbiFunctionNames<abi>, abiStateMutability extends AbiStateMutability = AbiStateMutability> = Extract<abi[number], { type: "function"; stateMutability: abiStateMutability; }> extends { name: functionName; } ? { name: functionName; } & Extract<...> : never

Extracts AbiFunction with name from Abi.

Works great for adding blazing fast autocomplete and type checking to functions, variables, or your own types. No need to generate types with third-party tools – just use your ABI and let TypeScript do the rest!

TL;DR

ABIType might be a good option for your project if:

  • You want to typecheck your ABIs or EIP-712 Typed Data.
  • You want to add type inference and autocomplete to your library based on user-provided ABIs or EIP-712 Typed Data, like Wagmi and Viem.
  • You need to convert ABI types (e.g. 'string') to TypeScript types (e.g. string) or other type transformations.
  • You need to validate ABIs at runtime (e.g. after fetching from external resource).
  • You don’t want to set up a build process to generate types (e.g. TypeChain).
