@ethereumjs/tx v5.1.0
More Type-Aligned Library Structure
This release gently introduces a backwards-compatible new/adopted library structure which is more aligned with the idea of independent tx types, bundling various functionalities together in a way that is not necessarily hierarchical, see PR #2993 and #3010.
Reused functionality (e.g. calculating the upfront-cost (getUpfrontCost()
) of an EIP-1559
-compatible tx - is internally bundled in capability files (e.g. capabilities/eip1559.ts
), which provide static call access to the respective methods.
These methods are then called and the functionality exposed by the respective methods in the tx classes, see the following example code for an FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction
:
getUpfrontCost(baseFee: bigint = BigInt(0)): bigint {
return EIP1559.getUpfrontCost(this, baseFee)
}
This makes creating additional or custom tx types and reusing of existing functionality substantially easier and makes the library substantially more robust by largely consolidating previously redundant code parts.
