import { type WatchContractEventReturnType } from '@wagmi/core'

Function for cleaning up watcher.

Type Inference ​

With abi setup correctly, TypeScript will infer the correct types for eventName, args, and onLogs parameters. See the Wagmi TypeScript docs for more information.

Error ​

ts
import { type WatchContractEventError } from '@wagmi/core'
