Eosjs
General purpose library for EOSIO blockchains.
Usage
Ways to instantiate eosjs.
Eos = // Private key or keys (array) provided statically or by way of a function.// For multiple keys, the get_required_keys API is used (more on that below).keyProvider: '5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3' // Localhost Testnet (run ./docker/up.sh)eos = // Connect to a testnet or mainneteos = // Cold-storageeos = // Read-only instance when 'eosjs' is already a dependencyeos = Eosmodules // Read-only instance when an application never needs to write (smaller library)EosApi = eos =
No-arguments prints usage.
eos
USAGEgetBlock - Fetch a block from the blockchain. PARAMETERS
Start a nodeosd process. The docker in this repository provides a setup the supports the examples in this README.
cd ./docker && ./up.sh
All functions read only or transactional follow this pattern for parameters.
// If the last argument is a function it is treated as a callbackeos // If a callback is not provided, a Promise is returnedeos // @returns {Promise} // Parameters can be positional or an objecteos // An API with no parameters is invoked with an empty object or callback (avoids logging usage)eos // @returns {Promise}eos
Chain and history API functions are available after creating the eos
object.
API methods and documentation are generated from the chain and history json files.
Until we generate a markdown for these, please convert the names in these json to camel case functions.
"get_info": ..
iseos.getInfo(..)
Configuration
Eos = // Default configuration (additional options below)config = chainId: null // 32 byte (64 char) hex string keyProvider: 'PrivateKeys...' // WIF string or array of keys.. httpEndpoint: 'http://127.0.0.1:8888' expireInSeconds: 60 broadcast: true verbose: false // API activity sign: true eos =
-
chainId
hex
- Unique ID for the blockchain you're connecting too. This is required for valid transaction signing. The chainId is provided via the get_info API call.Identifies a chain by its initial genesis block. All transactions signed will only be valid the blockchain with this chainId. Verify the chainId for security reasons.
-
keyProvider
[array<string>|string|function]
- Provides private keys used to sign transaction. If multiple private keys are found, the APIget_required_keys
is called to discover which signing keys to use. If a function is provided, this function is called for each transaction. -
httpEndpoint
string
- http or https location of a nodeosd server providing a chain API. When using eosjs from a browser remember to configure the same origin policy in nodeosd or proxy server. For testing, nodeosd configurationaccess-control-allow-origin = *
could be used.Set this value to null for a cold-storage (no network) configuration.
-
expireInSeconds
number
- number of seconds before the transaction will expire. The time is based on the nodeosd's clock. An unexpired transaction that may have had an error is a liability until the expiration is reached, this time should be brief. -
broadcast
[boolean=true]
- post the transaction to the blockchain. Use false to obtain a fully signed transaction. -
verbose
[boolean=false]
- verbose logging such as API activity. -
debug
[boolean=false]
- low level debug logging (serialization). -
sign
[boolean=true]
- sign the transaction with a private key. Leaving a transaction unsigned avoids the need to provide a private key. -
mockTransactions (advanced)
mockTransactions: () => null // 'pass', or 'fail'
pass
- do not broadcast, always pretend that the transaction workedfail
- do not broadcast, pretend the transaction failednull|undefined
- broadcast as usual
-
transactionHeaders (advanced) - manually calculate transaction header. This may be provided so eosjs does not need to make header related API calls to nodeos. Used in environments like cold-storage. This callback is called for every transaction. Headers are documented here eosjs-api#headers.
transactionHeaders: (expireInSeconds, callback) => {callback(null/*error*/, headers)}
-
logger - default logging configuration.
logger:log: configverbose ? consolelog : nullerror: consoleerror // null to disableTurn off all error logging:
config.logger = {error: null}
Options
Options may be provided after parameters.
options = authorization: 'alice@active' broadcast: true sign: true
eos
-
authorization
[array<auth>|auth]
- identifies the signing account and permission typically in a multisig configuration. Authorization may be a string formatted asaccount@permission
or anobject<{actor: account, permission}>
.- If missing default authorizations will be calculated.
- If provided additional authorizations will not be added.
- Performs deterministic sorting by account name
If a default authorization is calculated the action's 1st field must be an account_name. The account_name in the 1st field gets added as the active key authorization for the action.
-
broadcast
[boolean=true]
- post the transaction to the blockchain. Use false to obtain a fully signed transaction. -
sign
[boolean=true]
- sign the transaction with a private key. Leaving a transaction unsigned avoids the need to provide a private key.
Transaction
The transaction function accepts the standard blockchain transaction.
Required transaction header fields will be added unless your signing without a network connection (httpEndpoint == null). In that case provide you own headers:
// only needed in cold-storage or for offline transactionsconst headers = expiration: '2018-06-14T18:16:10' ref_block_num: 1 ref_block_prefix: 452435776
Create and send (broadcast) a transaction:
/** @return */eos
Named action functions
More concise functions are provided for applications that may use actions more frequently. This avoids having lots of JSON in the code.
// Run with no arguments to print usage.eos // Callback is last, when omitted a promise is returnedeoseos // @returns {Promise} // positional parameterseos // named parameterseos // options appear after parametersoptions = broadcast: true sign: true // `false` is a shortcut for {broadcast: false}eos
Read-write API methods and documentation are generated from the eosio token and system.
For more advanced signing, see keyProvider
and signProvider
in
index.test.js.
Shorthand
Shorthand is available for some types such as Asset and Authority. This syntax
is only for concise functions and does not work when providing entire transaction
objects to eos.transaction
..
For example:
- permission
inita
defaultsinita@active
- authority
'EOS6MRy..'
expands{threshold: 1, keys: [key: 'EOS6MRy..', weight: 1]}
- authority
inita
expands{{threshold: 1, accounts: [..actor: 'inita', permission: 'active', weight: 1]}}
New Account
New accounts will likely require some staked tokens for RAM and bandwidth.
wif = '5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3'pubkey = 'EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV' eos
Contract
Deploy and call smart contracts.
Compile
If you're loading a wasm file, you do not need binaryen. If you're loading a wast file you can include and configure the binaryen compiler, this is used to compile to wasm automatically when calling setcode.
Versions of binaryen may be problematic.
$ npm install binaryen@37.0.0
binaryen = eos =
Deploy
wasm = fsabi = fs // Publish contract to the blockchaineos // @returns {Promise}eos // @returns {Promise}
Fetch a smart contract
// @returns {Promise}eos // Run immediately, `myaction` returns a Promiseeos // Group actions. `transaction` returns a Promise but `myaction` does noteos // Transaction with multiple contractseos
Custom Token
{ // more on the contract / transaction syntax below await eos const balance = await eos console }
Calling Actions
Other ways to use contracts and transactions.
{ // if either transfer fails, both will fail (1 transaction, 2 messages) await eos // transaction on a single contract await eos // mix contracts in the same transaction await eos // The contract method does not take an array so must be called once for // each contract that is needed. const myaccount = await eos await myaccount // a transaction to a contract instance can specify multiple actions await myaccount }
Development
From time-to-time the eosjs and nodeos binary format will change between releases
so you may need to start nodeos
with the --skip-transaction-signatures
parameter
to get your transactions to pass.
Note, package.json
has a "main" pointing to ./lib
. The ./lib
folder is for
es2015 code built in a separate step. If you're changing and testing code,
import from ./src
instead.
Eos = // forceActionDataHex = false helps transaction readability but may trigger back-end bugsconfig = verbose: true debug: false broadcast: true forceActionDataHex: true keyProvider eos =
Fcbuffer
The eos
instance can provide serialization:
// 'asset' is a type but could be any struct or type like: transaction or uint8type = type: 1 data: '00ff'buffer = eosfcassert // ABI Serializationeos
Use Node v10+ for package-lock.json
.
