BigIntType class final

Arbitrary precision signed integer type.

Represents signed integers of any size with no minimum/maximum limit. Uses minimal two's complement encoding for efficient storage.

Example

// From Dart int
final small = BigIntType.create(42);

// From BigInt (large numbers)
final large = BigIntType.create(BigInt.parse('123456789012345678901234567890'));

print(small.nativeValue); // 42
print(large.toHex()); // Hex representation

// Use in struct definitions
final structType = StructType(
  name: 'SignedLedger',
  fieldDefinitions: [
    FieldDefinition(name: 'signedLarge', type: BigIntType.type),
  ],
);

Methods

canAcceptValue(dynamic nativeValue) → bool: Checks if type can accept the given native value.
inherited
createValue(dynamic nativeValue) → BigIntValue: Creates typed value from native Dart value.
override
createValueOrThrow<T extends TypedValue>(dynamic nativeValue) → T: Available on AbiType, provided by the AbiTypeOrThrowExtensions extension
Creates a TypedValue from native value and ensures it matches expected type.
equals(AbiType other) → bool: Checks type equality based on fully qualified names.
inherited
hasClassOrSuperclass(String name) → bool: Checks if instance is or extends the specified class.
inherited
hasExactClass(String name) → bool: Checks if instance is exactly the specified class.
inherited
isAssignableFrom(AbiType other) → bool: Checks if type can be assigned from other type.
inherited
isValidValue(dynamic value) → bool: Available on AbiType, provided by the AbiTypeExtensions extension
Checks if the value is valid for this type.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic: Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
requireType<T extends AbiType>(String message) → T: Available on AbiType, provided by the AbiTypeValidationExtensions extension
Ensures this type is an instance of T, throwing with a custom message if not.
toMap() → Map<String, dynamic>: inherited
toString() → String: A string representation of this object.
