TFchain go client

DEPRECATED: moved to: https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfchain/tree/development/clients/tfchain_client_go

• This library is a go implementation of a client for the TFChain.
• Internally, our own fork of https://github.com/centrifuge/go-substrate-rpc-client is used to make substrate rpc calls.
• Used in multiple repos like zos, rmb-go, and terraform-provider-grid.

Usage

To make substrate calls:

• First, start a substrate connection against the desired url for the chain:

  manager := NewManager("wss://tfchain.grid.tf/ws")
  substrateConnection, err := manager.Substrate()

• These are the urls for different chain networks:

  • devnet: wss://tfchain.dev.grid.tf/ws
  • testnet: wss://tfchain.test.grid.tf/ws
  • qanet: wss://tfchain.qa.grid.tf/ws
  • mainnet: wss://tfchain.grid.tf/ws

• It is the user's responsibility to close the connection.

  defer substrateConnection.Close()

• Then, a user could use the provided api calls to communicate with the chain. like:

  contractID, err := substrateConnection.CreateNodeContract(identity, nodeID, body, hash, publicIPsCount, solutionProviderID)

• Also, if a connection is closed for some reason like timing out, internally, it is reopened if nothing blocks.

• All provided api calls are found under the Substrate struct.

Run tests

To run the tests, you could either run it against a local docker image of the TFChain, or against devnet

• Run against local docker image

  To run tests against a local docker image of tfchain, you need to set CI environment variable to anything actually.

  docker run -d -p 9944:9944 threefolddev/tfchain:2.2.0-rc8 --dev --ws-external
  sleep 3
  export CI="true"
  go test . -v

• Run against devnet

  unset CI
  go test . -v

Test Coverage

• 30.6% of statements

Workflows

• Test

  • This workflow runs all tests found in the root directory against a local docker image of the TFChain found here.

• Lint

  • This workflow ensures linting, so make sure to run these commands without any errors before pushing code:

    golangci-lint run

    gofmt -d -l .
