## ethjs-extras
Nice lightweight extras for building dApps and focused Ethereum arch.
[Do not use in production... yet ;)]
## Install
```
npm install --save ethjs-extras
```
## Usage
```js
const {
Eth,
EthContract,
onAccount,
onReceipt,
onBlock,
call,
} = require('ethjs-extras'); // or import..
// make a raw method call to a rpc network
Eth({ network: 'rinkeby' }).raw('eth_blockNumber').then(console.log).catch(console.log);
// setup a light contract object, use solidity spec and or abi spec.
const simpleStore = new EthContract({
network: 'rinkeby',
address: '0x01a528451419d562a6752318a6fb71898fa5d840',
methods: [
'SimpleStore(address _master)',
'set()',
'Set(uint256 _value)',
'master():(address)',
'get():(uint256)',
],
});
// contract methods, promise only
simpleStore.get().then(console.log).catch(console.log); // using shorthand notation
simpleStore.master.call().then(console.log).catch(console.log); // using .call() notation
simpleStore.onEvent(console.log); // polls for events, receives, decodes and fires callback
simpleStore.getLogs({ fromBlock: 0 }).then(console.log).catch(console.log);
// send transaction notation .sendTransaction
// simpleStore.set.sendTransaction({ gas: 300000 }).then(console.log).catch(console.log);
// this fires when receipt is available for transaction hash
onReceipt('0x5005c4dddca407a46b4193379102228cbafc5fb48a269e973d85fd4c30704653', {
network: 'mainnet',
})
.then(console.log).catch(console.log);
// just call a single contract method
call({
network: 'rinkeby',
address: '0x01a528451419d562a6752318a6fb71898fa5d840',
solidity: 'get():(uint256)',
args: [],
}).then(console.log).catch(console.log);
// get the balance
balanceOf('0x01a528451419d562a6752318a6fb71898fa5d840', { network: 'rinkeby' })
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log);
// callback fires when accounts loaded from provider
onAccount(console.log, {
provider: window.web3.currentProvider,
});
// callback fires when new block happens
onBlock(console.log, {
network: 'ropsten',
});
```
## Contract Deployment
```js
const { Eth } = require('ethjs-extras');
// setup an Eth object
const { sendTransaction, onReceipt } = Eth({ provider: window.web3.currentProvider });
// or just use call with the constructor method.. hehe
sendTransaction({
solidity: 'SimpleStore(address _master)',
args: ['0x..SOME..ADDRESS..'],
data: '0x..CONTRACT..DATA..',
construct: true, // will create constructor sig.
})
.then(txHash => onReceipt(txHash))
.then(receipt => console.log(receipt.contractAddress))
.catch(console.log);
// once you have the address, you can setup a contract object, see first example..
```
## About
Experimental extras for EthJS.
## Philosophy
Simple. To the point. No bullshit. Virtually stateless objects and methods to interact with Ethereum.
## Promise / Callbacks
Promise only unless it's a callback that fires multiple times (i.e. `onBlock`, `onAccount`, `onEvent`)
## Polling => Websockets
We are currently using polling for the `receipts` / `logs`.. This will be `websockets` soon.
## Method Design
All methods can be used individually, or with defaults using the `Eth` object.
## ABI Encoding
Define in Solidity (thanks to solidity-to-abi), and `Ethers.js` does the rest ;)
## Solidity Types
Remember to define the full type for the solidity method inputs/ouputs (no shortcuts):
```
Bad:
uint
Good:
uint256
-----
Bad:
get():(uint)
Good:
get():(uint256)
```
## Eth Object
The Eth object is simply defining defaults which are being passed on to the methods...
```js
const { balanceOf, onAccount, contract, call } = Eth({ network: 'rinkeby' });
```
## Making Raw RPC Calls
You can make nice and raw RPC calls, but you have to do the hex decoding...
```js
const { Eth, hexToBN } = require('ethjs-extras');
Eth({ network: 'mainnet' }).raw('eth_blockNumber')
.then(blockAsHex => hexToBN(blockAsHex).toString(10)) // now.. BN object
.catch(console.log);
```
Raw method API:
`Eth(...).raw( RPC_METHOD_NAME_STRING, arg1, arg2, arg3 )`
We provide some helpers `val => result`..
Decoding Hex:
`hexToBN` : turn hex numbers into BN.js number object
Encoding Hex:
`hexPrefix` : hex prefix string data
`stripHexPrefix` : string hex prefix from string data (if any)
`hexNum` : always turn value (string / number / BN object) into hex string number
## Call Method Naming
The `call` and `ethCall` method are the same. Sometimes, function names like `call` are reserved depending on your linter. So we provide both for your convenience.
## Send Transaction
The `sendTransaction` method is simply the `call` method with the `method` defined as `sendTransaction`.
## Handling Ethereum Units
See `ethjs-unit` for handling unit conversion (eth => wei, USD => eth etc..)
## Network Determination
If 'network' specified: use infura at valid network (rinkeby, mainnet, ropsten)
If 'provider' specified: use provider object
If 'eth' specified: use eth object for sendAsync and method calls

## Contributing
Please help better the ecosystem by submitting issues and pull requests to `ethjs-format`. We need all the help we can get to build the absolute best linting standards and utilities. We follow the AirBNB linting standard and the unix philosophy.
## Help out
There is always a lot of work to do, and will have many rules to maintain. So please help out in any way that you can:
- Create, enhance, and debug ethjs rules (see our guide to ["Working on rules"](./github/CONTRIBUTING.md)).
- Improve documentation.
- Chime in on any open issue or pull request.
- Open new issues about your ideas for making `ethjs-format` better, and pull requests to show us how your idea works.
- Add new tests to *absolutely anything*.
- Create or contribute to ecosystem tools, like modules for encoding or contracts.
- Spread the word.
Please consult our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) docs before helping out.
We communicate via [issues](https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-extras/issues) and [pull requests](https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-extras/pulls).
