NOTE: Do not use this class when working with account addresses; use AccountAddress instead. When accepting hex data as input to a function, prefer to accept HexInput and

A helper class for working with hex data. Hex data, when represented as a string, generally looks like this, for example: 0xaabbcc, 45cd32, etc.

then use the static helper methods of this class to convert it into the desired format. This enables the greatest flexibility for the developer.

Example usage:

getTransactionByHash(txnHash: HexInput): Promise<Transaction> {
  const txnHashString = Hex.fromHexInput(txnHash).toString();
  return await getTransactionByHashInner(txnHashString);
}
Copy

This call to Hex.fromHexInput().toString() converts the HexInput to a hex string with a leading 0x prefix, regardless of what the input format was.

Other ways to chain the functions together:

• Hex.fromHexString({ hexInput: "0x1f" }).toUint8Array()
• new Hex([1, 3]).toStringWithoutPrefix()
