Any function on a contract. Returns are the same as ethers.js, except that instead of BigNumber, essential-eth always returns a TinyBig


More Info
🧪 This repo is under active development. The API is less-fully featured than web3 and ethers. More functions added often!
👨🏻💻 Breaking changes will exist between minor versions until 1.0.0 (Versions go major.minor.patch)
Identical vs Similar vs Dissimilar {#isd}
Throughout the documentation for essential-eth, you may notice that some functions are compared to ethers.js and web3.js. The keywords identical, similar, and dissimilar are used to help you migrate to essential-eth. Here's a guide on what these keywords mean:
- Identical -- should behave exactly like the library you're already using, except the types might be different (
TinyBigvsBn.js). - Similar -- can probably be used as a replacement to the library you're currently using, except there are some differences. Read the notes next to this keyword to see why these aren't considered
identical. - Dissimilar -- should not be used in place of the function you're currently using. Read the notes next to this keyword to see why these functions aren't considered
similar, and potentially learn how to alter your implementation to makeessential-ethwork for you.
Note: In web3.js, almost every method or function can be passed a callback. essential-eth, like ethers.js, does not include this functionality and trusts that users will rely on the much more modern promise and async/await patterns.
