is there any way by which i can convert a string which is in this form:
string: "0xbajdu2ajaj72uw82jdhjska"
to
address: 0xbajdu2ajaj72uw82jdhjska
Wether the method is in js, or solidity... It would be more helpful if it is in js but solidity will also work.
Using: truffle, Web3js

How else would you represent an address in js if not as a string?

I literally have no idea... Just asking if there's any method in web3.utils or something.
Or if it coudl be converted to address in solidity.

In js, you're already done. It's an address already. Congrats
In solidity... Good luck
It's gonna be quite costly to convert a string containing a hex number to an address

So, all hopes lost.... In js...
Lets try this also😔....

JavaScript doesn't have an address data type so just pass your address string value to any methods that requires an address as an argument in solidity

But then it says the parameter passed is something else not address to be specific.

Pass the address to this method if it returns true web3.utils.isAddress("your address")
Jun 13, 2022, 7:27 PM
this return true.

Congrats, you got your address. As in: what you passed to that function already is considered an address

So, Now its upto solidity to consider my request 😁
