Use the helper to convert between base amounts and Assets.
The Decimal represents the denomination of the asset. i.e BTC_DECIMAL = 8
These are normally a constant exported by the client.
const assetConversions = async () => {
let amountToTransfer = 0.01
// convert to type baseAmount
let amount = assetToBase(assetAmount(amountToTransfer, BTC_DECIMAL))
console.log(`Amount has been converted to type base amount: ${JSON.stringify(amount)}`)
// Convert back to asset amount
let asset = (baseToAsset(amount).amount())
console.log(`Converted back to ${asset}`)
}
Format Helpers for Assets
Format Assets from and to baseAmount Retrieve symbols using assets
// Imports
import {
assetToBase,
assetAmount,
formatAssetAmount,
formatBaseAmount,
formatBNCurrency,
AssetBTC,
AssetCurrencySymbol,
formatAssetAmountCurrency,
currencySymbolByAsset,
AssetRuneNative,
AssetETH,
AssetLTC } from "@xchainjs/xchain-util"
// usage Example
const formatHelpers = async () => {
let amountToTransfer = 0.01
let Amount = assetToBase(assetAmount(amountToTransfer, DECIMAL))
// Formats an `AssetAmount` into `string` based on decimal places
let formatAsset = formatAssetAmount({ amount: assetAmount(amountToTransfer, BTC_DECIMAL), decimal: BTC_DECIMAL})
console.log(formatAsset)
// Formats a `BaseAmount` value into a `string`
let formatBase = formatBaseAmount(Amount)
console.log(formatBase)
// Formats a big number value by prefixing it with `$`
let formatBN = formatBNCurrency(Amount.amount())
console.log(formatBN)
// Formats an asset amount using its currency symbol
let formatAssetCurrency = formatAssetAmountCurrency({ amount: assetAmount(amountToTransfer, BTC_DECIMAL), asset: AssetBTC, decimal: BTC_DECIMAL})
console.log(formatAssetCurrency)
// Returns Asset symbol from ticker.
let assetA = currencySymbolByAsset(AssetRuneNative)
let assetB = currencySymbolByAsset(AssetBTC)
let assetC = currencySymbolByAsset(AssetETH)
let assetD = currencySymbolByAsset(AssetLTC)
console.log(assetA, assetB, assetC, assetD)
// Respective outputs
/*0.01000000

BigNumber Helper Functions
// Imports
import {
bnOrZero,
validBNOrZero,
fixedBN} from "@xchainjs/xchain-util"
const bigNumberhelpers = async () => {
let amountToTransfer = 0.01
let Amount = assetToBase(assetAmount(amountToTransfer, DECIMAL))
// Helper to create a big number from string or number If it fails to create a big number
console.log(bnOrZero(amountToTransfer))
// Helper to validate a possible BigNumber If the given value is invalid or undefined
console.log(validBNOrZero(Amount.amount()))
// Helper to get a fixed BigNumber
console.log(fixedBN(Amount.amount()))
}
Chain Helper
//Imports
import { isChain } from from "@xchainjs/xchain-util"
const chain = async () => {
// Type guard to check whether string is based on type Chain
let thor = "THOR"
console.log(isChain(thor)) // Returns true
}
Async Helper
//Imports
import delay from '@xchainjs/xchain-util'
// Helper to delay anything within an async function
const anyAsyncFunc = async () => {
// do something
console.log('before delay')
// wait for 200ms
await delay(200)
// and do other things
console.log('after delay')
