@aws/web3-ws-provider
This is an NPM package that takes care of Signature Version 4 authentication for websocket connections to Ethereum nodes on Amazon Managed Blockchain.
Installing
Install and save as a dependency using NPM:
npm install @aws/web3-ws-provider --save
Example
This example assumes that your AWS IAM-related environment variables have been set previously. For example:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
# if your IAM credentials are temporary:
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=...
const Web3 = require('web3');
const AWSWebsocketProvider = require('@aws/web3-ws-provider');
const endpoint = 'wss://nd-NODEID.wss.ethereum.managedblockchain.REGION.amazonaws.com';
const web3 = new Web3(new AWSWebsocketProvider(endpoint));
web3.eth.getNodeInfo().then(console.log).then(() => {
web3.currentProvider.connection.close();
});
You may also provide your credentials directly to the constructor arguments of a new instance of AWSWebsocketProvider() using the clientConfig options object:
const Web3 = require('web3');
const AWSWebsocketProvider = require('@aws/web3-ws-provider');
const credentials = {
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
};
const endpoint = 'wss://nd-NODEID.wss.ethereum.managedblockchain.REGION.amazonaws.com';
const web3 = new Web3(new AWSWebsocketProvider(endpoint, { clientConfig: { credentials: credentials }}));
web3.eth.getNodeInfo().then(console.log).then(() => {
web3.currentProvider.connection.close();
});
This reusable WS provider can be used to create a valid WS provider in the popular Ethers.js library:
In your project's root directory, install ethers:
npm install ethers --save
const ethers = require('ethers');
const AWSWebsocketProvider = require('@aws/web3-ws-provider');
const credentials = {
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
};
const endpoint = 'wss://nd-NODEID.wss.ethereum.managedblockchain.REGION.amazonaws.com';
const baseProvider = new AWSWebsocketProvider(endpoint, { clientConfig: { credentials: credentials }}));
let provider = new ethers.providers.WebSocketProvider(baseProvider);
