The hexToBytes function is a utility method provided by the web3.utils module that allows you to convert a hexadecimal string representation of data to a byte array. This function is useful when working with smart contracts that operate on binary data, as it enables you to convert hex-encoded data to a format that can be easily processed by the contract.
The function takes a single parameter, bytes, which is the hexadecimal string that you want to convert to a byte array. The function then performs the necessary conversions and returns a Uint8Array containing the byte array representation of the input hex string.
Here's an example usage of the hexToBytes function:
In this example, the hexToBytes function takes the hexadecimal string '0x74657374' as input and returns a Uint8Array containing the byte array representation of the input hex string. The resulting byte array contains the bytes 116, 101, 115, and 116, which correspond to the ASCII characters t, e, s, and t, respectively.
