Contract ABI
============
Implements encoding of parameters according to the Ethereum
[Contract ABI Specification][1].
Installation
------------
Use the [Nimble][2] package manager to add `contractabi` to an existing project.
Add the following to its .nimble file:
```nim
requires "https://github.com/status-im/nim-contract-abi >= 0.1.0 & < 0.2.0"
```
Usage
-----
```nim
import contractabi
import stint
# encode unsigned integers, booleans, enums
AbiEncoder.encode(42'u8)
# encode uint256
AbiEncoder.encode(42.u256)
# encode byte arrays and sequences
AbiEncoder.encode([1'u8, 2'u8, 3'u8])
AbiEncoder.encode(@[1'u8, 2'u8, 3'u8])
# encode tuples
AbiEncoder.encode( (42'u8, @[1'u8, 2'u8, 3'u8], true) )
# decode values of different types
AbiDecoder.decode(bytes, uint8)
AbiDecoder.decode(bytes, UInt256)
AbiDecoder.decode(bytes, array[3, uint8])
AbiDecoder.decode(bytes, seq[uint8])
# decode tuples
AbiDecoder.decode(bytes, (uint32, bool, seq[byte]) )
```
