Is it possible to get the balance without the decimals or a specific amount of decimals?

Question

I am using the web3 package and I am getting the balance like so

final abi = [
  'function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint)',
];

final token = web3.Contract(
  '{contract address}',
  abi,
  web3.provider!,
);

final balance = await token.call<BigInt>(
  'balanceOf',
  ['{walletAddress}'],
);

print('BALANCE: ${balance}');

But when I print the balance I notice it also has the decimals. How can I get the balance without the decimals? Or with a specific amount of decimals? Or read what amount of decimals have been set on the token details?

My balance is 999987 and I get 999987000000000000000000

Answer 1

As James suggested there is a decimals function

const abi = [
  'function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint)',
  'function decimals() view returns (uint)',
];

final token = web3.Contract(
  contractAddress,
  abi,
  web3.provider!,
);

final balance = await token.call<BigInt>(
  'decimals',
  [],
);
