This release is the stable release of EOSJS v22.0.0 and contains features, security, stability and miscellaneous fixes. Please note that since this release promotes EOSJS v22.0.0-rc2 to v22.0.0 (stable), using the @latest tag will now automatically cause an upgrade from v21.0.x to v22.0.0.

Support for Action Return Values

This release introduces support for the new feature of return values from actions within smart contracts. More information can be found here in the documentation for eosio.cdt and here in the documentation specific to eosjs.

Additionally, an example application has been created to demonstrate how to use this new feature with nodeos and eosjs.

Support for Key Value Databases

This release introduces support for the new key value database feature. More information can be found here in the documentation for eosio.cdt and here in the documentation specific to eosjs.

Due to differences in the format of key value databases in smart contract ABIs, abi.abi.json has been removed and added directly into the code of eosjs-serialize.ts.

A new data type in EOSIO.CDT v1.8.0 called eosio::kv::map provides the underlying functionality and should be used in contracts over the type called eosio::kv::table that is currently in a developer preview state.

Additionally, an example application has been created to demonstrate how to use this new feature with nodeos and eosjs.

New Method for Constructing Actions and Transactions

A concise new method for constructing actions has been added to improve the developer experience. It is now possible to either construct an action in either a shorter syntax or construct both actions and transactions by creating a stateful TransactionBuilder object that can be passed through an application before sending when ready. The details for this concise method can be found here in the eosjs documentation.

BREAKING CHANGE: New Endpoints and Typescript Types for Nodeos API Plugins

New endpoints have been added to eosjs to match the latest versions of the api plugins. New Typescript types have been added to assist developers in better understanding what to expect from certain features or responses from the nodeos api plugins. The goal of these new types is to facilitate accurate typescript support and additional documentation for eosjs but there is the possibility of backwards incompatibility. In these situations, it is advised to override the affected types with any or a user-defined type.
