Filtering logs on list of addresses

[georgeroman]

The eth_getLogs RPC API accepts either a single address (eg. string) or a list of addresses (eg. string[]) that you can filter events on (eg. https://eth.wiki/json-rpc/API#eth_getLogs). I see that ethers only supports passing a single address (eg. https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/blob/master/packages/abstract-provider/src.ts/index.ts#L129). Probably not all providers support this (Alchemy does while Infura doesn't seem to support it), it would be nice if ethers allowed passing a list of addresses as well.

AFAIK, Etherscan also does not support it directly.

Just to mention, you can use the following when working with address array

const formatter = new ethers.providers.Formatter();

const rawLogs = await provider.send('eth_getLogs', [{address: ['0xabc', '0xdef'], ... }])
const logs = Formatter.arrayOf(formatter.filterLog.bind(formatter))(rawLogs);
