Description

after this fix code builds without passing typeof ABI:

const contractInstance = new web3.eth.Contract([
        {
            inputs: [
                {
                    internalType: 'uint256',
                    name: 'tokenId',
                    type: 'uint256',
                },
            ],
            name: 'tokenURI',
            outputs: [{ internalType: 'string', name: '', type: 'string' }],
            stateMutability: 'view',
            type: 'function',
        },
    ] as const);

contractInstance.methods.tokenURI(123);
