eosio name to string
To convert an eosio name to a string in C++, you can follow these steps:
Obtain the
name
value: First, you need to have theeosio::name
value that you want to convert to a string. Thename
type in the EOSIO framework represents a name string, and it provides various methods and operators to work with names.Convert to
uint64_t
: Thename
type internally stores the name as auint64_t
value. To convert thename
to a string, you first need to extract theuint64_t
value representing the name. This can be done using theeosio::name::value
member function, which returns the underlyinguint64_t
value.Convert
uint64_t
to string: Once you have theuint64_t
value representing the name, you can convert it to a string using standard C++ string conversion functions or libraries. One common way to convert an integer to a string is to use thestd::to_string
function provided by the C++ standard library.
Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates the conversion of an eosio::name
to a string:
#include <eosio/eosio.hpp>
#include <string>
using namespace eosio;
int main() {
name myName = name("myaccount");
uint64_t nameValue = myName.value;
std::string nameString = std::to_string(nameValue);
// Print the converted string
eosio::print(nameString);
return 0;
}
In this example, we create an eosio::name
object named myName
with the value "myaccount". We then extract the uint64_t
value using myName.value
and convert it to a string using std::to_string
. Finally, we print the converted string using eosio::print
.
Keep in mind that the resulting string will be a decimal representation of the uint64_t
value, not the original name string. If you want to convert the eosio::name
to the original name string, you may need to implement additional logic to reverse the name encoding process used in the EOSIO framework.
