Contract events does not support `fromBlock` property

[nazarhussain]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Following two code snippets behaves exactly the same:

myContract.events.MyEvent({fromBlock: 0})

myContract.events.MyEvent()

Expected Behavior

If one subscribe for the events with fromBlock it should get the past logs with getPastEvents and emit those.

myContract.events.MyEvent({fromBlock: 0})

Steps to Reproduce

Following snippet should emit the two events which were triggered in the past.

myContract.methods.fireStrintEvent('event1'); 
myContract.methods.fireStrintEvent('event2'); 

(await myContract.events.MyEvent({fromBlock: 0})).on('data', console.log));

Web3.js Version

4.x

Environment

• Operating System:
• Browser:
• Node.js Version:
• NPM Version:

Anything Else?

This behavior can be implemented with combination of getPastEvents inside the event subscriber.
