Learn about the stripZeros utils method

Introduction

The stripZeros method is used to remove leading zeros from a hex string and return the output in a Uint8Array form.

Usage

This method should be used when you want to remove leading zeros from a hex string and want the output in a Uint8Array form.

Here’s a simple code example to demonstrate how to use this method:

1
const { Utils } = require("alchemy-sdk");
2
3
let hexString = "0x00000000000000000005";
4
5
let strippedUint8Array = Utils.stripZeros(hexString);
6
console.log(strippedUint8Array); // Uint8Array(1) [ 5 ]
