Move Types

TS SDK Move Types

When developing on Endless, and specifically working with the SDK, developers often need to handle Move types serialization and deserialization. Whether is to construct a transaction payload, build a raw transaction or read BCS data.

The SDK provides a convenient Move subclasses to easily interact with move types to perform serialization or deserialization operations. Each class has a serialize, serializeForEntryFunction and serializeForScriptFunction methods and a deserialize static class.

In addition, for complex types like Vector the SDK supports nested serialization and deserialization.

Move primitive types

Classes to handle Move primitive types:

• U8

• U16

• U32

• U64

• U128

• U256

• Bool

• AccountAddress

const serializer = new Serializer();

const u8 = new U8(1);
u8.serialize(serializer);
u8.serializeForEntryFunction(serializer);
u8.serializeForScriptFunction(serializer);

const deserializer = new Deserializer(new Uint8Array(u8.value));
deserializer.deserialize(U8);

Move struct types

• MoveVector

• MoveString

• MoveOption

const serializer = new Serializer();

const moveString = new MoveString("hello world");
moveString.serialize(serializer);
moveString.serializeForEntryFunction(serializer);
moveString.serializeForScriptFunction(serializer);

const deserializer = new Deserializer(serializer.toUint8Array());
deserializer.deserializeStr();
