Classes

Blockchain

Class that wraps http requests for blockchain-related RPC calls.

Blockchain(provider: Provider, signer: Wallet): Blockchain

Parameters

• provider: Provider
• signer: Wallet

Returns

• Blockchain

Members

provider: Provider

signer: Wallet

Instance Methods

CreateTransaction(transaction : Transaction, maxAttempts? : number, interval? : interval) : Promise<Transaction>

Creates a transaction and polls the lookup node for a transaction receipt. The transaction is considered to be lost if it is not confirmed within the timeout period.

Parameters

• transaction: Transaction - the transaction object
• attempts (Optional - default 20): number - the number of times to poll the lookup node for transaction receipt.
• interval (Optional - default 1000): number - the amount of time to wait between attempts. increases linearly (numAttempts * interval)

Returns

• Promise<Transaction> - the Transaction that has been signed and broadcasted to the network.

getBlockChainInfo(): Promise<RPCResponse<ShardingStructure, string>>

Retrieves generally blockchain information, such as the number of nodes per shard.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<ShardingStructure, string>>

getDSBlock(blockNum: number): Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

Queries the blockchain for a specific DS block, by number.

Parameters

• blockNum: string - the DS block the retrieve

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

getLatestDSBlock(): Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

Gets the most recently confirmed DS block.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

getNumDSBlocks(): Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>>

Queries the blockchain for the number of confirmed DS blocks in the chain.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>> - use parseInt as the number is encoded as a string.

getDSBlockRate(): Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

Gets the ds blocks processed per second.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

getDSBlockListing(max: number): Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

Gets a paginated list of DS blocks.

Parameters

max: number - the maximum number of pages to retrieve

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

getTxBlock(blockNum: number): Promise<RPCResponse<TxBlockObj, string>>

Retrieves a TxBlock by number.

Parameters

blockNum: number - the tx block to retrieve.

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<TxBlockObj, string>>

getLatestTxBlock(): Promise<RPCResponse<TxBlockObj, string>>

Gets the most recently confirmed Tx block.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

getNumTxBlocks(): Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>>

Queries the blockchain for the number of confirmed Tx blocks in the chain.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>> - use parseInt as the number is encoded as a string.

getTxBlockRate(): Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

Gets the Tx blocks processed per second.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

getTxBlockListing(max: number): Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

Gets a paginated list of Tx blocks.

Parameters

max: number - the maximum number of pages to retrieve

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

getSmartContractCode(addr: string): Promise<RPCResponse<any, string>>

Queries the blockchain for the smart contract's state. Note that this method will return the entire state of the smart contract. As a result, if you have a large amount of data stored in a smart contract do not use this method on a client. Instead, use a server-side layer to cache and proxy such queries.

Parameters

• addr: string - the address of a smart contract

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<any, string>> - the Contract state.

getSmartContractInit(addr: string): Promise<RPCResponse<Value[], string>>

Queries the blockchain for the smart contract's init (a.k.a. immutable variables of a contract)

Parameters

• addr: string - the address of a smart contract

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<Value[], string>> - the Contract Init.

getSmartContractState(addr: string): Promise<RPCResponse<any, string>>

Queries the blockchain for the smart contract's state. Note that this method will return the entire state of the smart contract. As a result, if you have a large amount of data stored in a smart contract do not use this method on a client. Instead, use a server-side layer to cache and proxy such queries.

Parameters

• addr: string - the address of a smart contract

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<any, string>> - the Contract state.

getSmartContractSubState(addr: string, variableName: string, indices: string[]): Promise<RPCResponse<any, string>>

Queries the contract state, filtered by the variable names. This function is the filtered version of getSmartContractState. As getSubState performs the filtering, variableName of a field is required.

If the subState is not found, this returns a null response.

Parameters

• addr: string - the address of a smart contract
• variableName: string - the variable name within a state
• indices : string[] - optional variable. If the variableName is a Map, an array of indices may be provided. See examples/ to see how to use this method.

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<any, string>> - the Contract Init.

getSmartContracts(addr: string): Promise<RPCResponse<Omit<ContractObj, 'init' | 'abi'>, string>>

Retrieves all smart contracts deployed by a user, including the address and the state. The response object is large, and is not recommended on client-side.

Parameters

• addr: string - address of a wallet

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<Omit<ContractObj, 'init' | 'abi'>, string>> - A contract address

getContractAddressFromTransactionID(addr: string): Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>>

Retrieves a smart contract address from the transaction ID.

Parameters

• txHash: string - the transaction hash

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>> - A contract address
