Event Decoder Library

Overview

The event-decoder library is a Go package designed to facilitate the decoding of Ethereum blockchain events. Utilizing the power of the go-ethereum ABI package, this library provides an easy-to-use interface for extracting and interpreting event data from Ethereum smart contracts.

Features

• Decoding of Ethereum event parameters.
• Support for various Ethereum data types.
• Integration with the go-ethereum ABI package for robust handling of Ethereum data structures.
• Error handling specifically tailored for event decoding.

Installation

To use the event-decoder library in your Go project, you can install it using go get:

go get github.com/paribu/event-decoder

We are planning to add missing types as soon as possible, but contributions are welcome.

Usage

The primary function of this library is Decode, which takes an event.Event and a contractABI *abi.ABI as input and returns a slice of *event.Parameter and an error.

Basic Example

Here is a basic example of how to use the event-decoder library:

package main

import (
    "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/accounts/abi"
    "github.com/paribu/event-decoder"
    "github.com/paribu/event-decoder/event"
)

func main() {
    // Assuming 'e' is your event data and 'contractABI' is the ABI of the contract
    e := &event.Event{ /*...*/ }
    contractABI := &abi.ABI{ /*...*/ }

    parameters, err := event_decoder.Decode(e, contractABI)
    if err != nil {
        // Handle error
    }

    // Use the decoded parameters
    for _, p := range parameters {
        fmt.Println("Parameter:", p.Name, "Value:", p.Value, "Type:", p.Type)
    }
}

Dependencies

• go-ethereum: This library relies on the go-ethereum package, specifically its ABI capabilities.
