chain3 JavaScript app API for 0.2.x

**NOTE: These docs are for chain3.js version 0.2.x **

To make your app work on MOAC, you can use the chain3 object provided by the chain3.js library. It communicates to a local MOAC node through RPC calls. chain3.js works with any MOAC node, which exposes an RPC layer.

chain3 contains the mc object - chain3.mc (for specifically MOAC blockchain interactions). Over time we'll introduce other objects for each of the other chain3 protocols. Some examples can be found here.

Getting Started

Adding chain3

First you need to get chain3.js into your project. This can be done using the following mmcods:

  • npm: npm install chain3
  • bower: bower install chain3
  • meteor: meteor add MOAC:chain3

Then you need to create a chain3 instance, setting a provider. To make sure you don't overwrite the already set provider when in mist, check first if the chain3 is available:

if (typeof chain3 !== 'undefined') {
  chain3 = new chain3(chain3.currentProvider);
} else {
  // set the provider you want from chain3.providers
  chain3 = new chain3(new chain3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
}

After that you can use the API of the chain3 object.

Using callbacks

As this API is designed to work with a local RPC node, all its functions use synchronous HTTP requests by default.

If you want to make an asynchronous request, you can pass an optional callback as the last parameter to most functions. All callbacks are using an error first callback style:

chain3.mc.getBlock(48, function(error, result){
    if(!error)
        console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
    else
        console.error(error);
})

Batch requests

Batch requests allow queuing up requests and processing them at once.

Note Batch requests are not faster! In fact making many requests at once will in some cases be faster, as requests are processed asynchronously. Batch requests are mainly useful to ensure the serial processing of requests.

var batch = chain3.createBatch();
batch.add(chain3.mc.getBalance.request('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000', 'latest', callback));
batch.add(chain3.mc.Contract(abi).at(address).balance.request(address, callback2));
batch.execute();

A note on big numbers in chain3.js

You will always get a BigNumber object for number values as JavaScript is not able to handle big numbers correctly. Look at the following examples:

"101010100324325345346456456456456456456"
// "101010100324325345346456456456456456456"
101010100324325345346456456456456456456
// 1.0101010032432535e+38

chain3.js depends on the BigNumber Library and adds it automatically.

var balance = new BigNumber('131242344353464564564574574567456');
// or var balance = chain3.mc.getBalance(someAddress);

balance.plus(21).toString(10); // toString(10) converts it to a number string
// "131242344353464564564574574567477"

The next example wouldn't work as we have more than 20 floating points, therefore it is recommended to always keep your balance in sha and only transform it to other units when presenting to the user:

var balance = new BigNumber('13124.234435346456466666457455567456');

balance.plus(21).toString(10); // toString(10) converts it to a number string, but can only show max 20 floating points 
// "13145.23443534645646666646" // you number would be cut after the 20 floating point

chain3.js API Reference

Usage

chain3

The chain3 object provides all mmcods.

Example
var chain3 = require('chain3');

filter.stopWatching();

chain3.mc.contract

chain3.mc.contract(abiArray)

Creates a contract object for a solidity contract, which can be used to initiate contracts on an address. You can read more about events here.

Parameters
  1. Array - ABI array with descriptions of functions and events of the contract.
Returns

Object - A contract object, which can be initiated as follows:

var MyContract = chain3.mc.contract(abiArray);

// instantiate by address
var contractInstance = MyContract.at(address);

// deploy new contract
var contractInstance = MyContract.new([constructorParam1] [, constructorParam2], {data: '0x12345...', from: myAccount, gas: 1000000});

// Get the data to deploy the contract manually
var contractData = MyContract.new.getData([constructorParam1] [, constructorParam2], {data: '0x12345...'});
// contractData = '0x12345643213456000000000023434234'

And then you can either initiate an existing contract on an address, or deploy the contract using the compiled byte code:

// Instantiate from an existing address:
var myContractInstance = MyContract.at(myContractAddress);


// Or deploy a new contract:

// Deploy the contract asynchronous from Solidity file:
...
const fs = require("fs");
const solc = require('solc')

let source = fs.readFileSync('nameContract.sol', 'utf8');
let compiledContract = solc.compile(source, 1);
let abi = compiledContract.contracts['nameContract'].interface;
let bytecode = compiledContract.contracts['nameContract'].bytecode;
let gasEstimate = chain3.mc.estimateGas({data: bytecode});
let MyContract = chain3.mc.contract(JSON.parse(abi));

var myContractReturned = MyContract.new(param1, param2, {
   from:mySenderAddress,
   data:bytecode,
   gas:gasEstimate}, function(err, myContract){
    if(!err) {
       // NOTE: The callback will fire twice!
       // Once the contract has the transactionHash property set and once its deployed on an address.

       // e.g. check tx hash on the first call (transaction send)
       if(!myContract.address) {
           console.log(myContract.transactionHash) // The hash of the transaction, which deploys the contract
       
       // check address on the second call (contract deployed)
       } else {
           console.log(myContract.address) // the contract address
       }

       // Note that the returned "myContractReturned" === "myContract",
       // so the returned "myContractReturned" object will also get the address set.
    }
  });

// Deploy contract syncronous: The address will be added as soon as the contract is mined.
// Additionally you can watch the transaction by using the "transactionHash" property
var myContractInstance = MyContract.new(param1, param2, {data: myContractCode, gas: 300000, from: mySenderAddress});
myContractInstance.transactionHash // The hash of the transaction, which created the contract
myContractInstance.address // undefined at start, but will be auto-filled later
Example
// contract abi
var abi = [{
     name: 'myConstantMmcod',
     type: 'function',
     constant: true,
     inputs: [{ name: 'a', type: 'string' }],
     outputs: [{name: 'd', type: 'string' }]
}, {
     name: 'myStateChangingMmcod',
     type: 'function',
     constant: false,
     inputs: [{ name: 'a', type: 'string' }, { name: 'b', type: 'int' }],
     outputs: []
}, {
     name: 'myEvent',
     type: 'event',
     inputs: [{name: 'a', type: 'int', indexed: true},{name: 'b', type: 'bool', indexed: false}]
}];

// creation of contract object

Contract Mmcods

// Automatically determines the use of call or sendTransaction based on the mmcod type
myContractInstance.myMmcod(param1 [, param2, ...] [, transactionObject] [, defaultBlock] [, callback]);

// Explicitly calling this mmcod
myContractInstance.myMmcod.call(param1 [, param2, ...] [, transactionObject] [, defaultBlock] [, callback]);

// Explicitly sending a transaction to this mmcod
myContractInstance.myMmcod.sendTransaction(param1 [, param2, ...] [, transactionObject] [, callback]);

// Get the call data, so you can call the contract through some other means
// var myCallData = myContractInstance.myMmcod.request(param1 [, param2, ...]);
var myCallData = myContractInstance.myMmcod.getData(param1 [, param2, ...]);
// myCallData = '0x45ff3ff6000000000004545345345345..'

The contract object exposes the contract's mmcods, which can be called using parameters and a transaction object.

Parameters
  • String|Number|BigNumber - (optional) Zero or more parameters of the function. If passing in a string, it must be formatted as a hex number, e.g. "0xdeadbeef" If you have already created BigNumber object, then you can just pass it too.
  • Object - (optional) The (previous) last parameter can be a transaction object, see chain3.mc.sendTransaction parameter 1 for more. Note: data and to properties will not be taken into account.
  • Number|String - (optional) If you pass this parameter it will not use the default block set with chain3.mc.defaultBlock.
  • Function - (optional) If you pass a callback as the last parameter the HTTP request is made asynchronous. See this note for details.
Returns

String - If its a call the result data, if its a send transaction a created contract address, or the transaction hash, see chain3.mc.sendTransaction for details.

Example
// creation of contract object
var MyContract = chain3.mc.contract(abi);

// initiate contract for an address
var myContractInstance = MyContract.at('0x78e97bcc5b5dd9ed228fed7a4887c0d7287344a9');

var result = myContractInstance.myConstantMmcod('myParam');
console.log(result) // '0x25434534534'

myContractInstance.myStateChangingMmcod('someParam1', 23, {value: 200, gas: 2000}, function(err, result){ ... });

Contract Events

var event = myContractInstance.MyEvent({valueA: 23} [, additionalFilterObject])

// watch for changes
event.watch(function(error, result){
  if (!error)
    console.log(result);
});

// Or pass a callback to start watching immediately
var event = myContractInstance.MyEvent([{valueA: 23}] [, additionalFilterObject] , function(error, result){
  if (!error)
    console.log(result);
});

You can use events like filters and they have the same mmcods, but you pass different objects to create the event filter.

Parameters
  1. Object - Indexed return values you want to filter the logs by, e.g. {'valueA': 1, 'valueB': [myFirstAddress, mySecondAddress]}. By default all filter values are set to null. It means, that they will match any event of given type sent from this contract.
  2. Object - Additional filter options, see filters parameter 1 for more. By default filterObject has field 'address' set to address of the contract. Also first topic is the signature of event.
  3. Function - (optional) If you pass a callback as the last parameter it will immediately start watching and you don't need to call myEvent.watch(function(){}). See this note for details.
Callback return

Object - An event object as follows:

  • address: String, 32 Bytes - address from which this log originated.
  • args: Object - The arguments coming from the event.
  • blockHash: String, 32 Bytes - hash of the block where this log was in. null when its pending.
  • blockNumber: Number - the block number where this log was in. null when its pending.
  • logIndex: Number - integer of the log index position in the block.
  • event: String - The event name.
  • removed: bool - indicate if the transaction this event was created from was removed from the blockchain (due to orphaned block) or never get to it (due to rejected transaction).
  • transactionIndex: Number - integer of the transactions index position log was created from.
  • transactionHash: String, 32 Bytes - hash of the transactions this log was created from.
Example
var MyContract = chain3.mc.contract(abi);
var myContractInstance = MyContract.at('0x78e97bcc5b5dd9ed228fed7a4887c0d7287344a9');

// watch for an event with {some: 'args'}
var myEvent = myContractInstance.MyEvent({some: 'args'}, {fromBlock: 0, toBlock: 'latest'});
myEvent.watch(function(error, result){
   ...
});

// would get all past logs again.
var myResults = myEvent.get(function(error, logs){ ... });

...

// would stop and uninstall the filter
myEvent.stopWatching();

Contract allEvents

var events = myContractInstance.allEvents([additionalFilterObject]);

// watch for changes
events.watch(function(error, event){
  if (!error)
    console.log(event);
});

// Or pass a callback to start watching immediately
var events = myContractInstance.allEvents([additionalFilterObject,] function(error, log){
  if (!error)
    console.log(log);
});

Will call the callback for all events which are created by this contract.

Parameters
  1. Object - Additional filter options, see filters parameter 1 for more. By default filterObject has field 'address' set to address of the contract. This mmcod sets the topic to the signature of event, and does not support additional topics.
  2. Function - (optional) If you pass a callback as the last parameter it will immediately start watching and you don't need to call myEvent.watch(function(){}). See this note for details.
Callback return

Object - See Contract Events for more.

Example
var MyContract = chain3.mc.contract(abi);
var myContractInstance = MyContract.at('0x78e97bcc5b5dd9ed228fed7a4887c0d7287344a9');

// watch for an event with {some: 'args'}
var events = myContractInstance.allEvents({fromBlock: 0, toBlock: 'latest'});
events.watch(function(error, result){
   ...
});

// would get all past logs again.
events.get(function(error, logs){ ... });

...

// would stop and uninstall the filter
events.stopWatching();
