parseHex

(alias) pure static function parseHex(value: text): integer

Deprecated

Use 'from_hex' instead

Parse an unsigned hexadecimal text representation of an integer.

Base prefixes are not supported, so one must write e.g. integer.from_hex('CAFE') rather than integer.from_hex('0xCAFE').

Case is ignored, i.e. integer.from_hex('CAFE') and integer.from_hex('cafe') are equivalent.
