IDL Types

solana-kiss uses a two-stage type system:

Stage	Type	Description
Flat	IdlTypeFlat	Unresolved — typedef references still by name
Full	IdlTypeFull	Fully resolved — all typedef links followed

Encoding and decoding always work on IdlTypeFull.

Traversal

Both types expose a traverse() method for exhaustive pattern matching:

const result = typeFull.traverse({
  primitive: (p) => `primitive:${p}`,
  string:    () => "string",
  vec:       (v) => `vec<${v.items.traverse(...)}>`,
  _:         () => "other",  // catch-all
});

Encode

import { idlTypeFullEncode, idlTypeFullFieldsEncode } from "solana-kiss";

const bytes      = idlTypeFullEncode(typeFull, value);
const fieldBytes = idlTypeFullFieldsEncode(fullFields, jsObject);

// Prepend a discriminator (e.g. for accounts)
const bytes = idlTypeFullEncode(typeFull, value, { discriminator: discBytes });

Decode

import { idlTypeFullDecode, idlTypeFullFieldsDecode } from "solana-kiss";

const dataView = new DataView(buffer.buffer);
const [offset, value]       = idlTypeFullDecode(typeFull, dataView, 0);
const [nextOffset, fields]  = idlTypeFullFieldsDecode(fullFields, dataView, 0);

Primitive types

u64, u128, i64, i128 → bigint
pubkey → base58 Pubkey
bytes → Uint8Array
