decodeParameters

Callable

• decodeParameters(abi: readonly AbiInput[] | AbiInput[], bytes: string): { __length__: number }

---

• Decodes ABI encoded parameters to its JavaScript types.

  @example

  let res = web3.eth.abi.decodeParameters(
     ["string", "uint256"],
     "0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ea000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000848656c6c6f212521000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
