decimalToPlanck

Convert a decimal to a planck integer based on a chain's decimal count. This is useful when converting an input field in a form to the planck value for a transaction. e.g. A user sets a value of 1.5 ROC in a number input field, but under the hood you use decimalToPlanck to convert the value to 1_500_000_000_000.

Basic Usage

import { decimalToPlanck } from 'useink/utils';

const planck = decimalToPlanck(1.5, someContractOnRococo.api);

console.log(planck.toString()); // e.g. 1_500_000_000_000

Returns

BigInt | undefined
