Event logs does not support types for indexed properties

[nazarhussain]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Currently if we access the event properties via, property name it detects valid type.

(await myContract.events.MyEvent()).on('data', log => {
   console.log(log.returnValues.eventProp1) // will detect valid type 
   console.log(log.returnValues[0]) // will not detect valid type 
});

Expected Behavior

It should detect the type for indexed properties as well.

Steps to Reproduce

Explained above.

Web3.js Version

4.x

Environment

• Operating System:
• Browser:
• Node.js Version:
• NPM Version:

Anything Else?

I am not sure if this can be done with existing types. But can be looked into further.

I tested https://github.com/web3/web3.js/blob/9b15fb1fd84d92cdd503e1324b7f58614d095192/fixtures/contracts/Basic.sol#L70 and I am getting:

log.returnValues :

{
  '0': 'value',
  '1': 12n,
  '2': true,
  __length__: 3,
  str: 'value',
  val: 12n,
  flag: true
}

for tx with: firesMultiValueEvent('value', 12, true)

both for index (log.returnValues[0]) and by event prop title (log.returnValues.str) I am getting same value.

Same as well, i am getting the correct types but they are both detected as unknown, will be creating an issue for adding the feature of supporting event log types from abi
