ConstantDiscriminatorNode

This node represents a byte discrimination strategy where the data is identified by a constant value at a given offset. Discriminator nodes are used to distinguish between different types of accounts or instructions in a program.

Attributes

Data

Attribute	Type	Description
kind	"constantDiscriminatorNode"	The node discriminator.
offset	number	The byte at which the constant should be located.

Children

Attribute	Type	Description
constant	ConstantValueNode	The constant value that identifies the data.

Functions

constantDiscriminatorNode(constant, offset?)

Helper function that creates a ConstantDiscriminatorNode object from a constant value node and an optional offset.

const node = constantDiscriminatorNode(constantValueNodeFromString('utf8', 'Hello'), 64);

Examples

An account distinguished by a u32 number equal to 42 at offset 0

accountNode({
    discriminators: [constantDiscriminatorNode(constantValueNode(numberTypeNode('u32'), numberValueNode(42)))],
    // ...
});

An instruction disctinguished by an 8-byte hash at offset 0

instructionNode({
    discriminators: [constantValueNodeFromBytes('base16', '0011223344556677')],
    // ...
});
