Should accept Uint8Array as Array / data or bytes type

[arboleya]

It's a pain having to convert between all kinds of array / bytes types. We should consider a connonical way to encode/decode between data and accept common forms of data like Uint8Arrays.

Note

• Incoming from Feedback - WebAuthn App QA Results #1545

Steps

• Add runtime support for passing Uint8Array as Vec<8> (feat: accept Uint8Arrays as inputs for Vecs, add docs for bytecode inputs #2018)
• Add typegen support for passing Uint8Array as Vec<u8>
• ...more?

I suspect this was resolved by the changes here and here as I can't see any other type that should accept bytes/array in this way, any thoughts @FuelLabs/sdk-ts?

@danielbate Did you see this comment? It seems related.

[danielbate]

That seems related to typegen, re #2784

@Dhaiwat10 Closed as not planned?

@arboleya I closed this via Linear as 'canceled', since the team decided that we will not be working on this issue at the moment

[arboleya]

Could you please summarize the reasoning behind the decision?

[Dhaiwat10]

@anderson.arboleya sure:

The team decided that working on this issue will require a lot of work deep down the codebase of the abi-coder/typegen. It will probably require a significant amount of refactoring as well. The team decided that it is a better idea to not work on this right now so that we can focus on other priority issues, and to avoid any breaking changes at this moment
