Address

Utility class for ethereum addresses. Wraps EthjsAddress with a tevm style API. toString returns a checksummed address rather than lowercase

Example

import { createAddress } from '@tevm/address';

// takes hex string
let address = createAddress(`0x${'00'.repeat(20)}`);
// takes number and bigint
address = createAddress(0);
// takes bytes
address = createAddress(new Uint8Array());
// non hex string
address = createAddress('55'.repeat(20));
