@lacchain/gas-model-provider

Truffle Provider. Use it to sign transactions using the LACChain Gas Model.

Install

$ npm install @lacchain/truffle-gas-model-provider

Requirements

Node >= 12 
Web3 ^1.2.0

General Usage

You can use this provider wherever a Web3 provider is needed, not just in Truffle. For Truffle-specific usage, see next section.

By default, the GasModelProvider will use the address of the first address that's generated from the mnemonic. If you pass in a specific index, it'll use that address instead.

Instantiation

You can instantiate gas-model-provider with options passed in an object with named keys. You can specify the following options in your object:

Parameters:

| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description | |---------------------| ---- | ------- | ----------- | -- | | mnemonic | object\|string | null | [ ] | Object containing phrase and password (optional) properties. phrase is a 12 word mnemonic string which addresses are created from. Alternately the value for mnemonic can be a string with your mnemonic phrase. | | privateKeys | string[] | null | [ ] | Array containing 1 or more private keys. | | providerOrUrl | string\|object | null | [x] | URI or Ethereum client to send all other non-transaction-related Web3 requests | | nodeAddress | string | null | [ ] | Node Address. | | expiration | number | null | [ ] | Expiration. | | addressIndex | number | 0 | [ ] | If specified, will tell the provider to manage the address at the index specified | | numberOfAddresses | number | 1 | [ ] | If specified, will create numberOfAddresses addresses when instantiated | | shareNonce | boolean | true | [ ] | If false, a new WalletProvider will track its own nonce-state | | derivationPath | string | "m/44'/60'/0'/0/" | [ ] | If specified, will tell the wallet engine what derivation path should use to derive addresses. | | pollingInterval | number | 4000 | [ ] | If specified, will tell the wallet engine to use a custom interval when polling to track blocks. Specified in milliseconds. | | chainId | number\|string | undefined | [ ] | Specify to enable signed transactions that are EIP-155 compliant for major chains. |

To include in your truffle-config.js

networks: {
    network_name: {
        provider: () => new GasModelProvider( PRIVATE_KEY, NODE_RPC, NODE_ADDRESS, EXPIRATION ),
        network_id: "*",
        gas: 115500000,
        gasPrice: 0,
        from: ADDRESS
    }
}

Where: - PRIVATE_KEY: is the Private Key of the ADDRESS - ADDRESS: is the Ethereum address of the tx sender - NODE_ADDRESS: is the Node Address in the Gas Model - EXPIRATION: is the expiration time in the Gas Model - RPC: is the RPC url of the writer node

Some other examples can be found below:

const HDWalletProvider = require("@lacchain/truffle-gas-model-provider");
const Web3 = require("web3");
const mnemonicPhrase = "mountains supernatural bird..."; // 12 word mnemonic
let provider = new GasModelProvider({
  mnemonic: {
    phrase: mnemonicPhrase
  },
  providerOrUrl: "http://localhost:8545",
  nodeAddress: '0xd00e6624a73f88b39f82ab34e8bf2b4d226fd768',
  expiration: 1736394529
});

// Or, alternatively pass in a zero-based address index.
provider = new GasModelProvider({
  mnemonic: mnemonicPhrase,
  providerOrUrl: "http://localhost:8545",
  addressIndex: 5,
  nodeAddress: '0xd00e6624a73f88b39f82ab34e8bf2b4d226fd768',
  expiration: 1736394529
});

// Or, use your own hierarchical derivation path
provider = new GasModelProvider({
  mnemonic: mnemonicPhrase,
  providerOrUrl: "http://localhost:8545",
  numberOfAddresses: 1,
  shareNonce: true,
  derivationPath: "m/44'/137'/0'/0/",
  nodeAddress: '0xd00e6624a73f88b39f82ab34e8bf2b4d226fd768',
  expiration: 1736394529
});

// To make HDWallet less "chatty" over JSON-RPC,
// configure a higher value for the polling interval.
provider = new GasModelProvider({
  mnemonic: {
    phrase: mnemonicPhrase
  },
  providerOrUrl: "http://localhost:8545",
  pollingInterval: 8000,
  nodeAddress: '0xd00e6624a73f88b39f82ab34e8bf2b4d226fd768',
  expiration: 1736394529
});

// HDWalletProvider is compatible with Web3. Use it at Web3 constructor, just like any other Web3 Provider
const web3 = new Web3(provider);

// Or, if web3 is alreay initialized, you can call the 'setProvider' on web3, web3.eth, web3.shh and/or web3.bzz
web3.setProvider(provider)

// ...
// Write your code here.
// ...

// At termination, `provider.engine.stop()' should be called to finish the process elegantly.
provider.engine.stop();

Note: If both mnemonic and private keys are provided, the mnemonic is used.
