JS SDK

Web3.js Interface#

Interact with nodes through web3 objects provided by web3.js. On the underlying implementation, it communicates with the local node through RPC calls. web3.js can connect to any PlatON/Alaya node that exposes the RPC interface. The installation and use under Windows 10 and Ubuntu are introduced in following.

Install and use under Windows#

To use js sdk under windows10, you need to install nvm and other related tools in advance. Steps are as follows:

  • View your current node version

    If you have not installed node, please move to node official website to Download and install

    node -v

    The current JS SDK only supports node 14.x and below, so if you are currently using a node version greater than 14.x. Please use NVM or other downgrade tools to reduce the node version to 14.x and below (the process of installing SDK for NVM will be given below)

  • Install nvm

    • Skip this step if already installed, download here

    • Install nodejs

      nvm install v12.16.1
    • Switch version

      nvm use 12.16.1
    • Set environment variables

      NVM_SYMLINK:%NVM_HOME%\v12.16.1

  • Install git

Skip this step if already installed, download here

  • Install lerna

    Recommanded to execute in git bash;

    npm install --global lerna@^3.22.1

    Attention:

    • Configure the environment variables of lerna installation directory
    • Check if lerna is installed successfully: learna -v
  • Install client-sdk-js

    npm i AlayaNetwork/client-sdk-js#master

    If got errors like: git-sh-setup: file not found, means you need to configure the environment variables of the git submodule; If git is installed under the C:\Program Files\Git directory, you need to configure the following path to the PATH environment variable:

    Git_Home : C:\Program Files\Git
    Path:%Git_Home%\usr\bin%Git_Home%\mingw64\libexec\git-core

Install and use under Ubuntu#

First of all, please make sure that the nodeJS environment is installed locally.

node -v

The current JS SDK only supports node 14.x and below, so if you are currently using a node version greater than 14.x. Please use NVM or other downgrade tools to reduce the node version to 14.x and below

  • Because this project also uses the lerna management tool to optimize the workflow of the multi-package code library hosted on git\npm, So before you install the project, make sure that the lerna package has been installed globally. If not, you need to install it globally.

  • Install lerna

    npm i lerna -g
  • Install client-sdk-js

    client-sdk-js can be installed into the project through the npm package management tool or the yarn package management tool, specific steps are as the following:

    npm i AlayaNetwork/client-sdk-js#master

    Or

    yarn add AlayaNetwork/client-sdk-js#master

Create a web3 instance and set up a provider. You can refer to the following code:

// in node.jsvar Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:6789');console.log(web3);> {    platon: ... ,    utils: ...,    ppos: ...,    ...}

After successful introduction, you can use the relevant API of web3.

    • gas - Number: The maximum gas provided for a transaction (gas limit).
    • data - String: The byte code of the contract. Used when the contract gets deployed.
    • vmType - Number: The contract type. 0 means solidity contract, 1 means WASM contract. The default is the solidity contract. (New field)
    • net_type - String: The network type. atp represents the primary network. The default is to the test network. (New field)

Returns:

Object: The contract instance with all it's methods and events.

options.address - contract address#

The address used for this contract instance. All transactions generated by web3.js from this contract will contain this address as the “to”. The address will be stored in lowercase.

Method:

myContract.options.address

Property:

address - String|null: The address for this contract, or null if it’s not yet set.

Example:

Call this function to deploy the contract to the blockchain. After successful deployment the promise will resolve with a new contract instance.

Method:

myContract.deploy(options)

Parameter:

options - Object: The options used for deployment.

  • data - String: The byte code of the contract.
  • arguments - Array: (optional): The arguments which get passed to the constructor on deployment. If you deploy a WASM contract, you can refer to WASM contract parameter passing reference

Returns:

// Gas estimationmyContract.deploy({    data: '0x12345...',    arguments: [123, 'My String']}).estimateGas(function(err, gas){    console.log(gas);});

methods#

Creates a transaction object for that method, which then can be called, send, estimated.

If it is a WASM contract, you can refer to WASM contract parameter passing reference

Method:

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

The methods of this smart contract are available through:

  • The name: myContract.methods.myMethod(123)
  • The name with parameters: myContract.methods['myMethod(uint256)'](123)
  • The signature: myContract.methods['0x58cf5f10'](123)

This allows calling functions with same name but different parameters from the JavaScript contract object.

Parameter:

Parameters of any method depend on the smart contracts methods, defined in the JSON interface.

Returns:

Object: The transaction object:

  • arguments: Array - The arguments passed to the method before. They can be changed.
  • call: Function - Will call the “constant” method and execute it's smart contract method in the EVM without sending a transaction (Can’t alter the smart contract state).
  • send: Function - Will send a transaction to the smart contract and execute it's method (Can alter the smart contract state).
  • estimateGas: Function - Will estimate the gas used when the method would be executed on chain.
  • encodeABI: Function - Encodes the ABI for this method. This can be send using a transaction, call the method or passing into another smart contracts method as argument.

Example:

// calling a methodmyContract.methods.myMethod(123).call({from: 'atp1mc9jj4nf487e840j3k0vshjq7n9kj7aw9qvc0x'}, function(error, result){    ...});
// or sending and using a promisemyContract.methods.myMethod(123).send({from: 'atp1mc9jj4nf487e840j3k0vshjq7n9kj7aw9qvc0x'}).then(function(receipt){    // receipt can also be a new contract instance, when coming from a "contract.deploy({...}).send()"});
// or sending and using the eventsmyContract.methods.myMethod(123).send({from: 'atp1mc9jj4nf487e840j3k0vshjq7n9kj7aw9qvc0x'}).on('transactionHash', function(hash){    ...}).on('receipt', function(receipt){    ...}).on('confirmation', function(confirmationNumber, receipt){    ...}).on('error', console.error);

methods.myMethod.call#

Will call a “constant” method and execute it's smart contract method in the EVM without sending any transaction. Note calling can not alter the smart contract state.

Method:

myContract.methods.myMethod([param1[, param2[, ...]]]).call(options[, callback])

Parameter:

  • options - Object : (optional): The options used for calling.
    • from - String (optional): The address the call “transaction” should be made from.
    • gasPrice - String (optional): The gas price in wei to use for this call “transaction”.
    • gas - Number (optional): The maximum gas provided for this call “transaction” (gas limit).
  • callback - Function : (optional): This callback will be fired with the result of the smart contract method execution as the second argument, or with an error object as the first argument.

Returns:

Promise returns Mixed: The return value(s) of the smart contract method. If it returns a single value, it’s returned as is. If it has multiple return values they are returned as an object with properties and indices: Example:

// using the callbackmyContract.methods.myMethod(123).call({from: 'atp1mc9jj4nf487e840j3k0vshjq7n9kj7aw9qvc0x'}, function(error, result){    ...});
// using the promisemyContract.methods.myMethod(123).call({from: 'atp1mc9jj4nf487e840j3k0vshjq7n9kj7aw9qvc0x'}).then(function(result){    ...});

MULTI-ARGUMENT RETURN:

// Soliditycontract MyContract {    function myFunction() returns(uint256 myNumber, string myString) {        return (23456, "Hello!%");    }}
// web3.jsvar MyContract = new web3.platon.contract(abi, address);MyContract.methods.myFunction().call().then(console.log);> Result {    myNumber: '23456',    myString: 'Hello!%',    0: '23456', // these are here as fallbacks if the name is not know or given    1: 'Hello!%'}

SINGLE-ARGUMENT RETURN:

// Soliditycontract MyContract {    function myFunction() returns(string myString) {        return "Hello!%";    }}

Then in web3.js, the call method will also return a single value:

// web3.jsvar MyContract = new web3.platon.contract(abi, address);MyContract.methods.myFunction().call().then(console.log);> "Hello!%"

send - methods.myMethod.send#

Will send a transaction to the smart contract and execute it's method. Note this can alter the smart contract state.

  • callback - Function: (optional): This callback will be fired first with the “transactionHash”, or with an error object as the first argument.

Returns:

The callback will return the 32 bytes transaction hash.

PromiEvent: A promise combined event emitter. Will be resolved when the transaction receipt is available, OR if this send() is called from a someContract.deploy(), then the promise will resolve with the new contract instance. Additionally the following events are available:

  • "transactionHash" returns String: is fired right after the transaction is sent and a transaction hash is available.
  • "receipt" returns Object: is fired when the transaction receipt is available. Receipts from contracts will have no logs property, but instead an events property with event names as keys and events as properties. See getPastEvents return values for details about the returned event object.
  • "confirmation" returns Number, Object: is fired for every confirmation up to the 24th confirmation. Receives the confirmation number as the first and the receipt as the second argument. Fired from confirmation 1 on, which is the block where it’s minded.
  • "error" returns Error and Object|undefined: Is fired if an error occurs during sending. If the transaction was rejected by the network with a receipt, the second parameter will be the receipt.

Built-in Contract Call#

Overview#

The call or send function of ppos (the built-in contract related to the economic model) is used to convert the parameters passed into the parameters required by the rpc interface platon_call or platon_sendRawTransaction call, and then send the transaction to the node. And some helper functions needed to complete the call and send parameters.

Usage#

When you call const web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:6789'); to instantiate a web3, the system will automatically append a ppos object after web3. In other words, you can use web3.ppos to call some methods of ppos. But if you want to use the ppos object to send transactions on the chain, in addition to the provider passed in when instantiating web3, you need to send at least the private key and chain id required for transaction signing, where the chain id can be passed through rpc Get chainId 'returned by interface admin_nodeInfo: xxx

Of course, in order to satisfy multiple ppos that can be instantiated arbitrarily (for example, I want to instantiate 3 ppos to different chains to send transaction calls at the same time), I will also attach a PPOS object to the web3 object (note all capitalization). You can call new PPOS (setting) to instantiate a ppos object. An example call is as follows:

(async () => {    const Web3 = require('web3');    const web3 = new Web3('http://192.168.120.164:6789');    const ppos = web3.ppos;
    // Update the configuration of ppos, this step must be done to send on-chain transactions.    // Since the provider has been passed in when instantiating web3, it is not necessary to pass in the provider.    ppos.updateSetting({        privateKey: 'acc73b693b79bbb56f89f63ccc3a0c00bf1b8380111965bfe8ab22e32045600c',        chainId: 201018,    })
    let data, reply;

API Usage#

updateSetting(setting)#

Update the configuration parameters of the ppos object. If you only need to send a call, you only need to pass in the parameter provider. If you passed in the provider when instantiating web3, then the provider of ppos is the provider that you instantiate from web3 by default. Of course you can also update the provider at any time.

If you want to send a transaction via send, you need to pass in the parameters provider, the private key, and the chain id. Of course, sending transactions requires setting four parameters: gas, gasPrice, retry, and interval. See the async send (params, [other]) description for details.

For the parameters passed in, you can choose partial update. For example, if you want to use the private key A when sending a transaction to a ppos object, then you execute ppos.updateSetting before calling send (params, [other]) ({privateKey: youPrivateKeyA}) to update the private key. Once updated, the current configuration will be overwritten, and the send transaction interface will be called later, with the last updated configuration as the default.

Parameters:

  • setting - Object:
    • provider - String: network link.
    • privateKey - String: pairvate key.
    • chainId - String: id of chain.
    • gas - String: Maximum gas consumption value, please enter a hexadecimal string, such as '0xf4240'.
    • gasPrice - String: Fuel price, please enter a hexadecimal string, such as '0x746a528800'.
    • retry - Number: The number of times to query the receipt.
    • interval - Number: Time interval to query the transaction receipt, the unit is ms.

Returns:

none

Example:

ppos.updateSetting({    privateKey: 'acc73b693b79bbb56f89f63ccc3a0c00bf1b8380111965bfe8ab22e32045600c',    chainId: 201018,})
ppos.updateSetting({    privateKey: '9f9b18c72f8e5154a9c59af2a35f73d1bdad37b049387fc6cea2bac89804293b'})

getSetting()#

Querying configured parameters.

Parameters:

none

Returns:

  • setting - Object
    • provider - String: Network RPC link.
    • privateKey - String: private key.
    • chainId - String: id of chain.
    • gas - String: Maximum limit of gas.
    • gasPrice - String: Unit price of Gas.
    • retry - Number: Number of retries for query receipt.
    • interval - Number: Query the interval of the transaction receipt object, the unit is ms.

Example:

let setting = ppos.getSetting();

async rpc(method, [params])#

Helper function to initiate rpc requests. Because some parameters need to be obtained through rpc during the process of calling ppos to send a transaction, an rpc is intentionally encapsulated for invocation. Note that this interface is an async function, you need to add await to return the result of the call, otherwise it returns a Promise object.

Parameters:

  • method - String: method name.
  • params - Array: Parameter required for calling the rpc interface. If the rpc interface does not require parameters, this parameter can be omitted.

Returns:

  • reply: Results returned by rpc call.

Example:

// Get program versionlet reply = await ppos.rpc('admin_getProgramVersion');
// Get all accountslet reply = await ppos.rpc('platon_accounts')
// Get the amount of the specified account.let reply = await ppos.rpc('platon_getBalance', ["atp1w9x7ye4qalarnl9v59zzhyn7tug9864rll39n7","latest"])

bigNumBuf(intStr)#

Converts a large decimal integer into a buffer object that can be accepted by RLP encoding. A helper function. Because JavaScript's positive number range can only be expressed as a maximum of 2^53, in order for RLP to encode large integers, you need to convert the decimal large integer of the string into the corresponding Buffer. Note that this interface can only convert large decimal integers to Buffer temporarily. If it is a hexadecimal string, you need to convert it to a decimal string first.

Parameters:

  • intStr - String: String decimal large integer.

Returns:

  • buffer - Buffer: A cache area.

Example:

let buffer = ppos.bigNumBuf('1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000');

hexStrBuf(hexStr)#

Converts a hexadecimal string into a buffer object that can be accepted by RLP encoding, a helper function. In the process of sending transactions by ppos, many parameters need to be transmitted as bytes instead of string, such as nodeId 64bytes pledged node Id (also called candidate node Id)`. The nodeId when writing code can only be expressed as a string. It needs to be converted into a 64 bytes Buffer.

Note: If the string you pass in starts with 0x or 0X, the system will assume that you are a hexadecimal string that does not encode the first two letters. If you really want to encode 0x or 0X, you must prefix the string with 0x. For example, if you want to encode the full string 0x31c0e0 (4 bytes), you must pass in 0x0x31c0e0.

Parameters:

  • hexStr - String: A hex string.

Returns:

  • buffer - Buffer: A cache area.

Example:

const nodeId = '80f1fcee54de74dbf7587450f31c31c0e057bedd4faaa2a10c179d52c900ca01f0fb255a630c49d83b39f970d175c42b12a341a37504be248d76ecf592d32bc0';let buffer = ppos.hexStrBuf(nodeId);

async call(params)#

Send a call query call to PPOS without changing the state. So you need to distinguish between querying and sending transactions. The input parameters can select objects or arrays. If you choose to pass in an object, then you need to use the specified string key, but the order of the key is not required. You can write {a: 1, b: 'hello'} or {b: 'hello', a: 1} without any problem.

If you choose to use an array as the input parameter, you must put the parameters into the array in the order of the input parameters. Note that for some string large integers and bytes' that need to be passed in, please choose the interfaces bigNumBuf (intStr) and hexStrBuf (hexStr) `provided above to convert them by themselves.

Note that this interface is an async function, you need to add await to return the result of the call, otherwise it returns a Promise object.

Parameters:

  • params - Object|Array: Call parameters.

Returns:

  1. reply - Object: The result of the call. Note that I have turned the returned results into Object objects.
  • Code - Number: Return code, 0 means the result of the call is normal.
  • Data - Array|Object|String|Number: Return the corresponding type according to the result of the call.
  • ErrMsg - String: Error message.

Query the NodeID and Pledged Id of the node entrusted by the current account address The input parameters of this interface are from top to bottom. The input parameters are as follows:

nameTypeDesc
funcTypeuint16(2bytes)Method type code(1103)
addrcommon.address(20bytes)Client's account address

Example:

let params, reply;
// Called by passing in an object (the order is not required for the key)params = {    funcType: 1103,    addr: ppos.hexStrBuf("atp1w9x7ye4qalarnl9v59zzhyn7tug9864rll39n7")}reply = await ppos.call(params);
// Calling as an array object.params = [1103, ppos.hexStrBuf("atp1w9x7ye4qalarnl9v59zzhyn7tug9864rll39n7")];reply = await ppos.call(params);

async send(params, [other])#

Send a transaction to ppos.

Trading will involve some parameters, such as gas, gasPrice. After the transaction is sent, in order to confirm whether the transaction is on the chain, you need to continuously poll the result on the chain through the transaction hash. There is an interval between the number of polls retry and each poll.

For the four parameters mentioned above, gas, gasPrice, retry, interval, if the other input parameter is specified, the other parameter is used. If the other parameter is not specified, the parameter specified by updateSetting (setting) is used when calling the function, otherwise the default value is used.

Note: This interface is an async function, you need to add await to return the result of the call, otherwise it returns a Promise object.

Parameters:

  • params - Object|Array: Transaction parameters.
  • other - Object(Optional):
    • gas - String: Gas limit, default '0xf4240'.
    • gasPrice - String: Gas price, default '0x746a528800'.
    • retry - Number: Query the number of transaction receipt objects. The default is 600 times.
    • interval - Number: Query the interval of the transaction receipt object, the unit is ms. The default is 100 ms.

Returns:

  1. reply - Object: Receipt object for the specified transaction hash.

    • status - Boolean: Successful transaction returns true, false if EVM rolls back the transaction.
    • blockHash 32 Bytes - String: The hash of the block
    • blockNumber - Number: The number of the block
    • transactionHash 32 Bytes - String: The hash of transaction.
    • transactionIndex - Number: Index position of the transaction in the block.
    • from - String: Address of the sender of the transaction.
    • to - String: The address of the transaction receiver. For the transaction that created the contract, the value is null.
    • contractAddress - String: For transactions that create a contract, the value is the contract address created, otherwise null.
    • cumulativeGasUsed - Number: Cumulative total gas usage of the block where the transaction is executed.
    • gasUsed - Number: Total gas consumed by this transaction.
    • logs - Array: Array of log objects generated by this transaction.
  2. errMsg - String: If the call fails and there is no receipt after the sending transaction returns, the error message no hash is returned. If there is a receipt after sending the transaction, but no receipt object is found within the specified time, then getTransactionReceipt txHash ${hash} interval ${interval} ms by ${retry} retry failed.
