/**
 * The `web3.eth.Contract` makes it easy to interact with smart contracts on the ethereum blockchain.
 * For using contract package, first install Web3 package using: `npm i web3` or `yarn add web3` based on your package manager, after that contracts features can be used as mentioned in following snippet.
 * ```ts
 *
 * import { Web3 } from 'web3';
 *
 * const web3 = new Web3('https://127.0.0.1:4545');
 * const abi = [...] as const; // your contract ABI
 *
 * let contract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi,'0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7');
 * await contract.methods.balanceOf('0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7').call();
 * ```
 * For using individual package install `web3-eth-contract` and `web3-core` packages using: `npm i web3-eth-contract web3-core` or `yarn add web3-eth-contract web3-core`. This is more efficient approach for building lightweight applications.
 * ```ts
 *
 * import { Web3Context } from 'web3-core';
 * import { Contract } from 'web3-eth-contract';
 *
 * const abi = [...] as const; // your contract ABI
 *
 * let contract = new web3.eth.Contract(
 * 	abi,
 * 	'0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7'
 * 	 new Web3Context('http://127.0.0.1:8545'));
 *
 * await contract.methods.balanceOf('0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7').call();
 * ```
 * ## Generated Methods
 * Following methods are generated by web3.js contract object for each of contract functions by using its ABI.
 *
 * ### send
 * This is used to send a transaction to the smart contract and execute its method. Note this can alter the smart contract state.
 *
 * #### Parameters
 * options?: PayableTxOptions | NonPayableTxOptions
 *
 * #### Returns
 * [Web3PromiEvent](/api/web3/namespace/core#Web3PromiEvent) : Web3 Promi Event
 *
 * ```ts
 * // using the promise
 * myContract.methods.myMethod(123).send({from: '0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe'})
 * 	.then(function(receipt){
 * 		// other parts of code to use receipt
 * 	});
 *
 *
 * // using the event emitter
 * myContract.methods.myMethod(123).send({from: '0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe'})
 * 	.on('transactionHash', function(hash){
 * 		// ...
 * 	})
 * 	.on('confirmation', function(confirmationNumber, receipt){
 * 		// ...
 * 	})
 * 	.on('receipt', function(receipt){
 * 		// ...
 * 	})
 * 	.on('error', function(error, receipt) {
 * 		// ...
 * 	});
 *
 * ```
 *
 * ### call
 * This will execute smart contract method in the EVM without sending any transaction. Note calling cannot alter the smart contract state.
 *
 * #### Parameters
 * options?: PayableCallOptions | NonPayableCallOptions,
 * block?: BlockNumberOrTag,
 *
 * #### Returns
 * Promise : having results of call
 *
 * ```ts
 *
 * let myContract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, address);
 *
 * myContract.methods.myFunction().call()
 * .then(console.log);
 *
 * ```
 * ### estimateGas
 * Returns the amount of gas consumed by executing the method in EVM without creating a new transaction on the blockchain. The returned amount can be used as a gas estimate for executing the transaction publicly. The actual gas used can be different when sending the transaction later, as the state of the smart contract can be different at that time.
 *
 * #### Parameters
 * options?: PayableCallOptions,
 * returnFormat: ReturnFormat = DEFAULT_RETURN_FORMAT as ReturnFormat,
 *
 * #### Returns
 * Promise: The gas amount estimated.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const estimatedGas = await contract.methods.approve('0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7', 300)
 *     .estimateGas();
 *
 * ```
 *
 * ### encodeABI
 * Encodes the ABI for this method. The resulting hex string is 32-bit function signature hash plus the passed parameters in Solidity tightly packed format. This can be used to send a transaction, call a method, or pass it into another smart contract’s method as arguments. Set the data field on web3.eth.sendTransaction options as the encodeABI() result and it is the same as calling the contract method with contract.myMethod.send().
 *
 * Some use cases for encodeABI() include: preparing a smart contract transaction for a multisignature wallet, working with offline wallets and cold storage and creating transaction payload for complex smart contract proxy calls.
 *
 * #### Parameters
 * None
 *
 * #### Returns
 * String: The encoded ABI.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const encodedABI = await contract.methods.approve('0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7', 300)
 *     .encodeABI();
 *
 * ```
 *

 * ### decodeMethodData
 * Decodes the given ABI-encoded data, revealing both the method name and the parameters used in the smart contract call.
 * This function reverses the encoding process happens at the method `encodeABI`.
 * It's particularly useful for debugging and understanding the interactions with and between smart contracts.
 *
 * #### Parameters
 *
 * - `data` **HexString**: The string of ABI-encoded data that needs to be decoded. This should include the method signature and the encoded parameters.
 *
 * #### Returns
 *
 * - **Object**: This object combines both the decoded parameters and the method name in a readable format. Specifically, the returned object contains:
 *   - `__method__` **String**: The name of the contract method, reconstructed from the ABI.
 *   - `__length__` **Number**: The number of parameters decoded.
 *   - Additional properties representing each parameter by name, as well as their position and values.
 *
 * #### Example
 *
 * Given an ABI-encoded string from a transaction, you can decode this data to identify the method called and the parameters passed.
 * Here's a simplified example:
 *
 *
 * ```typescript
 * const GreeterAbi = [
 * 	{
 * 		inputs: [
 * 			{
 * 				internalType: 'string',
 * 				name: '_greeting',
 * 				type: 'string',
 * 			},
 * 		],
 * 		name: 'setGreeting',
 * 		outputs: [],
 * 		type: 'function',
 * 	},
 * ];
 * const contract = new Contract(GreeterAbi); // Initialize with your contract's ABI
 *
 * // The ABI-encoded data string for "setGreeting('Hello World')"
 * const encodedData =
 * 	'0xa41368620000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000b48656c6c6f20576f726c64000000000000000000000000000000000000000000';
 *
 * try {
 * 	const decoded = contract.decodeMethodData(encodedData);
 * 	console.log(decoded.__method__); // Outputs: "setGreeting(string)"
 * 	console.log(decoded); // Outputs the detailed parameter data
 * 	// This tells that the method called was `setGreeting` with a single string parameter "Hello World":
 * 	// {
 * 	//   __method__: 'setGreeting(string)',
 * 	//   __length__: 1,
 * 	//   '0': 'Hello World',
 * 	//   _greeting: 'Hello World'
 * 	// }
 * } catch (error) {
 * 	console.error(error);
 * }
 * ```
 *

 * ### createAccessList
 * This will create an access list a method execution will access when executed in the EVM.
 * Note: You must specify a from address and gas if it’s not specified in options when instantiating parent contract object.
 *
 * #### Parameters
 * options?: PayableCallOptions | NonPayableCallOptions,
 * block?: BlockNumberOrTag,
 *
 * #### Returns
 * Promise: The generated access list for transaction.
 *
 * ```ts
 * const accessList = await contract.methods.approve('0xbEe634C21c16F05B03B704BaE071536121e6cFeA', 300)
 *     .createAccessList({
 *         from: "0x9992695e1053bb737d3cfae4743dcfc4b94f203d"
 *    });
 * ```
