Blockchain manager

This library is intented to support multiblockchain configuration for the functionalities provided by uPort libraries (here). Based on the received DID and its prefix, it will select the blockchain to connect and support the uPort functions. Below there is a description of how to implement it.

Class Name

BlockchainManagerConfig

Parameters to instanciate the class

The class takes three parameters:

• config: An object containing: { gasPrice: number, providerConfig: { object: PROVIDER_CONFIG} }
• gasSafetyValue: A safety value to increment the gas to prevent the estimation getting short (type number)
• gasPriceSafetyValue: A safety value to increment the gas price for the same reason (type number)

gasPrice: It's the gas price. For testing purposes a value of 10000 can be safely used.

providerConfig: It's a JSON object containing the network configurations to use when receiving the DID. The DIDs follow certain format and it should look like this:

did:ethr:0x0d0fa2cd3813412e94597103dbf715c7afb8c038
The above DID will route to the variable specified in mainnet

did:ethr:lacchain:0x0d0fa2cd3813412e94597103dbf715c7afb8c038
The above DID will route to the variable specified in lacchain

The providerConfig JSON must be similar to this:

PROVIDER_CONFIG = {
  networks: [
    { 
      name: 'mainnet', 
      rpcUrl: BLOCKCHAIN_URL_MAIN, 
      registry: BLOCKCHAIN_CONTRACT_MAIN
    },
    {
      name: 'lacchain',
      rpcUrl: BLOCKCHAIN_URL_LAC,
      registry: BLOCKCHAIN_CONTRACT_LAC
    },
    {
      name: 'bfa',
      rpcUrl: BLOCKCHAIN_URL_BFA,
      registry: BLOCKCHAIN_CONTRACT_BFA
    },
    {
      name: 'rsk',
      rpcUrl: BLOCKCHAIN_URL_RSK,
      registry: BLOCKCHAIN_CONTRACT_RSK
    }
  ]
};

NOTE 1: It is important to put the prefix on the DID, equal to the one in the JSON name attribute in order to route right. (for mainnet, no prefix must be entered)

NOTE 2: All of these variables must be defined in the .env file in the root folder.

Gas Increment value to increase the gas in the transaction for safeguard. By default is 1.1 (10%). This value can be defined in the ENV file as GAS_INCREMENT
