myContract.methods.myMethod([param1[, param2[, ...]]]).encodeABI()

Encodes the ABI for this method. This can be used to send a transaction, call a method, or pass it into another smart contract's method as arguments.
Encodes the ABI for this method. The resulting hex string is 32-bit function signature hash plus the passed parameters in Solidity tightly packed format. This can be used to send a transaction, call a method, or pass it into another smart contract's method as arguments. Set the `data` field on `web3.eth.sendTransaction` options as the `encodeABI()` result and it is the same as calling the contract method with `contract.myMethod.send()`.

Some use cases for `encodeABI()` include: preparing a smart contract transaction for a multisignature wallet, working with offline wallets and cold storage and creating transaction payload for complex smart contract proxy calls.
