Signer

Overview

Waves Signer is a TypeScript/JavaScript library that features signing and broadcasting transactions on behalf of users without asking them for their seed phrases or private keys.

Provider

In order to work with Signer, you need to link an external Provider library. Provider securely stores user's private data. Your web app and Signer itself do not have access to user's private key and seed phrase.

The Provider authenticates user and generates a digital signature.

Signer implements developer-friendly protocol for interacting with Provider as well as broadcasts transactions to the blockchain.

For now, you can use one of the following Providers:

  • ProviderSeed developed by Waves team creates user account from SEED. ProviderSeed can be used at the app debugging stage.
  • ProviderWeb developed by Waves.Exchange team uses an account created or imported into the Waves.Exchange web app via user's private key or seed phrase.
  • ProviderCloud developed by Waves.Exchange team uses an email-based Waves.Exchange.

You can also develop your own Provider, see the Provider Interface section below.

Signer + ProviderWeb: How It Works

When Signer requests to sign a transaction, ProviderWeb opens an iframe, where the user can review transaction details and confirm or reject it. Upon confirmation, ProviderWeb generates a digital signature.

Restrictions

Signer supports all types of transactions except Exchange transaction and Update Asset Info transaction.

Signer supports all browsers except Brave.

Getting Started

1. Signer and Provider library installation

  • To install Signer library use

    npm i kss-signer
  • To install ProviderSeed developed by Waves team, use

    npm i @waves/provider-seed @waves/waves-transactions
  • To install ProviderWeb developed by Waves.Exchange, use

    npm i @waves.exchange/provider-web

    For Windows, use the following format:

    npm i '@waves.exchange/provider-web'
  • To install ProviderCloud developed by Waves.Exchange, use

    npm i @waves.exchange/provider-cloud

    For Windows, use the following format:

    npm i '@waves.exchange/provider-cloud'

2. Library initialization

Add library initialization to your app.

  • For Testnet & ProviderSeed:

    import { Signer } from 'kss-signer';
    import { ProviderSeed } from '@waves/provider-seed';
    import { libs } from '@waves/waves-transactions';
    
    const seed = libs.crypto.randomSeed(15);
    const signer = new Signer({
      // Specify URL of the node on Testnet
      NODE_URL: 'https://nodes.krossexplorer.com'
    });
    signer.setProvider(new ProviderSeed(seed));
  • For Testnet & Waves.Exchange ProviderWeb:

    import { Signer } from 'kss-signer';
    import { ProviderWeb } from '@waves.exchange/provider-web';
    
    const signer = new Signer({
      // Specify URL of the node on Testnet
      NODE_URL: 'https://nodes.krossexplorer.com'
    });
    signer.setProvider(new ProviderWeb('https://testnet.waves.exchange/signer/'))
  • For Testnet & Waves.Exchange ProviderCloud:

    import { Signer } from 'kss-signer';
    import { ProviderCloud } from '@waves.exchange/provider-cloud';
    
    const signer = new Signer({
      // Specify URL of the node on Testnet
      NODE_URL: 'https://nodes.krossexplorer.com'
    });
    signer.setProvider(new ProviderCloud('https://testnet.waves.exchange/signer/'))
  • For Mainnet & Waves.Exchange ProviderWeb:

    import { Signer } from 'kss-signer';
    import { ProviderWeb } from '@waves.exchange/provider-web';
    
    const signer = new Signer();
    signer.setProvider(new ProviderWeb());
  • For Mainnet & Waves.Exchange ProviderCloud:

    import { Signer } from 'kss-signer';
    import { ProviderCloud } from '@waves.exchange/provider-cloud';
    
    const signer = new Signer();
    signer.setProvider(new ProviderCloud());

After that you will be able to use Signer features in the app.

3. Basic example

Now your application is ready to work with Waves blockchain. Let's test it by implementing basic functionality. For example, we could try to authenticate user, get his/her balances and transfer funds.

const user = await signer.login();
const balances = await signer.getBalance();
const [broadcastedTransfer] = await signer
  .transfer({amount: 100000000, recipient: 'alias:T:merry'}) // Transfer 1 KSS to alias merry
  .broadcast(); // Promise will resolved after user sign and node response

const [signedTransfer] = await signer
  .transfer({amount: 100000000, recipient: 'alias:T:merry'}) // Transfer 1 KSS to alias merry
  .sign(); // Promise will resolved after user sign

More examples

See example of an app that implements the donate button: https://github.com/vlzhr/crypto-donate.

Constructor

new Signer({
  NODE_URL: 'string',
})

Creates an object that features the following methods.

Parameters:

Parameter Default value Description
NODE_URL https://nodes.krossexplorer.com Node that is used to access a blockchain

Methods

In code you can use TypeScript types.

User Info

login

Authenticates user with his/her account; creates account if it don't exist.

login();

Returns: Promise of user data: address and public key.

Usage:

const {address, publicKey} = await signer.login();

Output example:

{
  address: '3P8pGyzZL9AUuFs9YRYPDV3vm73T48ptZxs',
  publicKey: 'FuChbN7t3gvW5esgARFytKNVuHSCZpXSYf1y3eDSruEN',
}

logout

Logs user out.

logout();

Returns: Promise<void>.

Usage:

await signer.logout();

getBalance

If user logged in, provides balances of assets in user's portfolio.

getBalance();

Returns: Promise of list of balances.

Usage:

const balances = await signer.getBalance();

Output example:

[{
  assetId: 'KSS',
  assetName: 'Krosscoin',
  decimals: 8,
  amount: 100000000,
  isMyAsset: false,
  tokens: 1,
  sponsorship: null,
  isSmart: false
},
{
  assetId: 'AcrRM9STdBu5PNiFveTCbRFTS8tADhKcsbC2KBp8A4tx',
  assetName: 'CoffeeCoin',
  decimals: 3,
  amount: 1500,
  isMyAsset: false,
  tokens: 1.5,
  isSmart: false,
  sponsorship: 500
}]

Output fields:

Field name Description
assetId Base58 encoded ID of the asset
assetName Name of the asset
decimals Number of decimal places in the asset amount
amount Amount of asset multiplied by 10^decimals. For example, decimals of KSS is 8, so the real amount is multipied by 10^8. { "KSS": 677728840 } means 6.77728840
isMyAsset true if current user is an asset issuer
tokens Amount of asset to display in app interface
sponsorship Amount of sponsored asset to be charged to users (per 0.001 KSS) multiplied by 10^decimals
null if the asset is not sponsored
isSmart true for smart assets

getSponsoredBalances

If user logged in, provides balances of sponsored assets in user's portfolio. See Sponsored Fee.

getSponsoredBalances();

Returns: Promise of list of balances.

Usage:

const sponsoredBalances = await signer.getSponsoredBalances();

Create transactions

The following methods create transactions (but do not sign or broadcast them):

Check which of these transactions are supported by your Provider.

Common fields

Each create transaction method has optional fields that you don't specify manually in most cases:

Field name Description Default value
chainId 'W'.charCodeAt(0) or 78 means Mainnet
'T'.charCodeAt(0) or 84 means Testnet
Defined by configuration of Waves node that is set in Constructor
fee Transaction fee Calculated automatically as described in Transaction fee section
proofs Array of transaction signatures Added by sign or broadcast method (see How to Sign and Broadcast Transactions). If you specify a proof manually, it is also added to the array
senderPublicKey Base58 encoded public key of transaction sender Returned by login method

How to Sign and Broadcast Transactions

Each create transaction method returns object that features the sign and broadcast methods.

To sign transaction use sign method. For example:

signer.invoke({
   dApp: address,
   call: { function: name, args: convertedArgs },
}).sign();

To sign transaction and immediately send it to blockchain use broadcast method. For example:

signer.invoke({
   dApp: address,
   call: { function: name, args: convertedArgs },
}).broadcast();

Note: this broadcast method has the same options as the signer.broadcast method that is described below.

You can sign or broadcast several transactions at once. For example:

signer.alias({ 'new_alias', })
  .data([{ key: 'value', type: 'integer', value: 1 ])
  .transfer({ recipient: '3P8pGyzZL9AUuFs9YRYPDV3vm73T48ptZxs', amount: 10000 })
}).broadcast();

    /**
     * Signer unsubscribes from events previously subscribed to
     */
    off(
        event: 'login',
        handler:({ address: string; publicKey: string }) => any 
    ) => Provider;
    off( event: 'logout', handler:() => any) => Provider;

    /**
     * Sets connection to Waves node
     * @param options
     */
    connect(options: {NODE_URL: string, NETWORK_BYTE: number}): Promise<void>;

    /**
     * Authenticates user with their account
     */
    login(): Promise<{address: string, publicKey: string}>;

    /**
     * Logs user out
     */
    logout(): Promise<void>;

    /**
     * Signs custom message
     * @param data
     */
    signMessage(data: string | number): Promise<string>;

    /**
     * Signs typed data
     * @param data
     */
    signTypedData(data: Array<TypedData>): Promise<string>;

    /**
     * Signs transactions in array
     * Here SignedTx<T> is any transaction, T[] is an array of any transactions
     * @param list
     */
    sign<T extends SignerTx>(toSign: T[]): Promise<SignedTx<T>>;
    sign<T extends Array<SignerTx>>(toSign: T): Promise<SignedTx<T>>;
}
