Encode ABI Parameters

Encode values from ABI parameter definitions without a parsed contract ABI in viem-go

EncodeAbiParameters encodes values from a list of ABI parameter definitions. It is a standalone function: no parsed ABI required. Use AbiParam for each parameter (Name optional, Type required, Components for tuples).

EncodeAbiParameters

import (
  "math/big"
  "github.com/ChefBingbong/viem-go/abi"
)


params := []abi.AbiParam{
  {Name: "x", Type: "string"},
  {Name: "y", Type: "uint256"},
  {Name: "z", Type: "bool"},
}
values := []any{"wagmi", big.NewInt(420), true}


encoded, err := abi.EncodeAbiParameters(params, values)
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
// encoded is []byte; use hex.EncodeToString(encoded) for 0x...
  • Signature: EncodeAbiParameters(params []AbiParam, values []any) ([]byte, error)
  • Params and values must have the same length.
  • See ABI Types for AbiParam and Solidity → Go type mapping.

Go notes

  • All encode functions return []byte; prefix with 0x when you need a hex string.
  • For encoding function calldata (selector + args) with a parsed ABI, use contract-level EncodeFunctionData.
