Is there a way to get only latest log for e.g myContractInstance.myEvent
? Don't wanna rewind whole past. I know I can pass latest
to a filter object, but that's not quite what I want. I'd like to get latest one from the past (no matter at which block it happened) and then continue listening for a new ones. Is this possible?

Would you know a rough upper bound on how long ago the last event would have been produced? Also, have you considered using a state variable in your contract instead of an event? Seems like that's more suited to your use case– Tjaden HessSep 19, 2016 at 15:36

yea, indeed, it can be solved with state variable. I was just curious if such thing is possible. Thanks– ma2sSep 19, 2016 at 20:02

How about {fromBlock: "latest", toBlock: "latest" }
?

1hmm, I don't think this is it. For example if
myEvent
was executed 20 times during lifetime of a smart-contract. I want to get that 20th time, I don't care if it was called 20th time in latest, first, or whichever block– ma2sSep 19, 2016 at 15:20 -
It sounds like what you need is a state variable indeed. If only to store
block.number
