Function: fromHuman()

fromHuman(human, decimals?): bigint

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/units.ts:46

Human amount (number or decimal string) → raw bigint at decimals, for the write API (placeOrder price/quantity, mintSet amount, …). Accepts a string to avoid float rounding (fromHuman("0.1")), or a number for convenience.

Gotchas

A number carrying more fraction digits than decimals is ROUNDED to scale (half-away-from-zero, via toFixed): fromHuman(0.1234567, 6) is 123457n. That is a deliberate, long-standing choice — the alternative (throwing) would reject ordinary computed values like a mid price. Pass a string when you need the exact value preserved or rejected instead.
