Learn about the splitSignature utils method

Introduction

The splitSignature method is used to split an Ethereum signature hex string into separate parts. The signature must be in a specific format for this method to work.

Usage

This method should be used when you want to split a compact Ethereum signature into its individual components. This can be useful when working with Ethereum signatures in your code, as it allows you to extract the relevant values from a signature for further processing.

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

const { Utils } = require("alchemy-sdk");

// Flat-format; this is the format provided by JSON-RPC responses
let flatSig =
  "0x0ba9770fd8778383f6d56faadc71e17b75f0d6e3ff0a408d5e6c4cee3bd70a16" +
  "3574da0ebfb1eaac261698b057b342e52ea53f85287272cea471a4cda41e3466" +
  "1b";

let expandedSig = Utils.splitSignature(flatSig);

console.log(expandedSig);

// {
//    r: "0x0ba9770fd8778383f6d56faadc71e17b75f0d6e3ff0a408d5e6c4cee3bd70a16",
//    s: "0x3574da0ebfb1eaac261698b057b342e52ea53f85287272cea471a4cda41e3466",
//    recoveryParam: 0,
//    v: 27
// }
