Usage
Ways to instantiate bonjs.
Bon = require('bonjs')
// Private key or keys (array) provided statically or by way of a function.
// For multiple keys, the get_required_keys API is used (more on that below).
keyProvider: '5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3'
// Localhost Testnet (run ./docker/up.sh)
bon = Bon({keyProvider})
// Connect to a testnet or mainnet
bon = Bon({httpEndpoint, chainId, keyProvider})
// Cold-storage
bon = Bon({httpEndpoint: null, chainId, keyProvider})
// Read-only instance when 'bonjs' is already a dependency
bon = Bon.modules.api({/*config*/})
// Read-only instance when an application never needs to write (smaller library)
BonApi = require('bonjs-api')
bon = BonApi({/*config*/})
No-arguments prints usage.
bon.getBlock()
USAGE
getBlock - Fetch a block from the blockchain.
PARAMETERS
{
"block_num_or_id": "string"
}
Start a nodbond process. The docker in this repository provides a setup that supports the examples in this README.
cd ./docker && ./up.sh
All blockchain functions (read and write) follow this pattern:
// If the last argument is a function it is treated as a callback
bon.getBlock(1, (error, result) => {})
// If a callback is not provided, a Promise is returned
bon.getBlock(1) // @returns {Promise}
// Parameters can be positional or an object
bon.getBlock({block_num_or_id: 1})
// An API with no parameters is invoked with an empty object or callback (avoids logging usage)
bon.getInfo({}) // @returns {Promise}
bon.getInfo((error, result) => { console.log(error, result) })
API Documentation
Chain and history API functions are available after creating the bon
object.
Configuration
Bon = require('bonjs')
// Default configuration
config = {
chainId: null, // 32 byte (64 char) hex string
keyProvider: ['PrivateKeys...'], // WIF string or array of keys..
httpEndpoint: 'http://127.0.0.1:8888',
expireInSeconds: 60,
broadcast: true,
verbose: false, // API activity
sign: true
}
bon = Bon(config)
chainId
hex
- Unique ID for the blockchain you're connecting to. This is required for valid transaction signing. The chainId is provided via the get_info API call.Identifies a chain by its initial genesis block. All transactions signed will only be valid the blockchain with this chainId. Verify the chainId for security reasons.
keyProvider
[array<string>|string|function]
- Provides private keys used to sign transaction. If multiple private keys are found, the APIget_required_keys
is called to discover which signing keys to use. If a function is provided, this function is called for each transaction.httpEndpoint
string
- http or https location of a nodbond server providing a chain API. When using bonjs from a browser remember to configure the same origin policy in nodbond or proxy server. For testing, nodbond configurationaccess-control-allow-origin = *
could be used.Set this value to null for a cold-storage (no network) configuration.
expireInSeconds
number
- number of seconds before the transaction will expire. The time is based on the nodbond's clock. An unexpired transaction that may have had an error is a liability until the expiration is reached, this time should be brief.broadcast
[boolean=true]
- post the transaction to the blockchain. Use false to obtain a fully signed transaction.verbose
[boolean=false]
- verbose logging such as API activity.debug
[boolean=false]
- low level debug logging (serialization).sign
[boolean=true]
- sign the transaction with a private key. Leaving a transaction unsigned avoids the need to provide a private key.mockTransactions (advanced)
mockTransactions: () => null // 'pass', or 'fail'
pass
- do not broadcast, always pretend that the transaction workedfail
- do not broadcast, pretend the transaction failednull|undefined
- broadcast as usual
transactionHeaders (advanced) - manually calculate transaction header. This may be provided so bonjs does not need to make header related API calls to nodbon. Used in environments like cold-storage. This callback is called for every transaction. Headers are documented here bonjs-api#headers.
transactionHeaders: (expireInSeconds, callback) => {callback(null/*error*/, headers)}
logger - default logging configuration.
logger: { log: config.verbose ? console.log : null, // null to disable error: config.verbose ? console.error : null, }
Turn off just API logging:
config.logger = {log: null}
Options
Options may be provided after parameters.
NOTE: authorization
is for individual actions, it does not belong in Bon(config)
.
options = {
authorization: 'alice@active',
broadcast: true,
sign: true
}
bon.transfer('alice', 'bob', '1.0000 BON', '', options)
authorization
[array<auth>|auth]
- identifies the signing account and permission typically in a multisig configuration. Authorization may be a string formatted asaccount@permission
or anobject<{actor: account, permission}>
.- If missing default authorizations will be calculated.
- If provided additional authorizations will not be added.
- Performs deterministic sorting by account name
If a default authorization is calculated the action's 1st field must be an account_name. The account_name in the 1st field gets added as the active key authorization for the action.
broadcast
[boolean=true]
- post the transaction to the blockchain. Use false to obtain a fully signed transaction.sign
[boolean=true]
- sign the transaction with a private key. Leaving a transaction unsigned avoids the need to provide a private key.
Transaction
The transaction function accepts the standard blockchain transaction.
Required transaction header fields will be added unless you are signing without a network connection (httpEndpoint == null). In that case provide you own headers:
// only needed in cold-storage or for offline transactions
const headers = {
expiration: '2018-06-14T18:16:10'
ref_block_num: 1,
ref_block_prefix: 452435776
}
Create and send (broadcast) a transaction:
/** @return {Promise} */
bon.transaction(
{
// ...headers,
actions: [
{
account: 'bon.token',
name: 'transfer',
authorization: [{
actor: 'inita',
permission: 'active'
}],
data: {
from: 'inita',
to: 'initb',
quantity: '7.0000 BON',
memo: ''
}
}
]
}
// config -- example: {broadcast: false, sign: true}
)
Named action functions
More concise functions are provided for applications that may use actions more frequently. This avoids having lots of JSON in the code.
// Run with no arguments to print usage.
bon.transfer()
// Callback is last, when omitted a promise is returned
bon.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.0000 BON', '', (error, result) => {})
bon.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.1000 BON', '') // @returns {Promise}
// positional parameters
bon.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.2000 BON', '')
// named parameters
bon.transfer({from: 'inita', to: 'initb', quantity: '1.3000 BON', memo: ''})
// options appear after parameters
options = {broadcast: true, sign: true}
// `false` is a shortcut for {broadcast: false}
bon.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.4000 BON', '', false)
Read-write API methods and documentation are generated from the bon token and system.
Assets amounts require zero padding. For a better user-experience, if you know the correct precision you may use DecimalPad to add the padding.
DecimalPad = Bon.modules.format.DecimalPad
userInput = '10.2'
precision = 4
assert.equal('10.2000', DecimalPad(userInput, precision))
For more advanced signing, see keyProvider
and signProvider
in
index.test.js.
Shorthand
Shorthand is available for some types such as Asset and Authority. This syntax
is only for concise functions and does not work when providing entire transaction
objects to bon.transaction
..
For example:
- permission
inita
defaultsinita@active
- authority
'BON6MRy..'
expands{threshold: 1, keys: [{key: 'BON6MRy..', weight: 1}]}
- authority
inita
expands{threshold: 1, accounts: [{permission: {actor: 'inita', permission: 'active'}, weight: 1}]}
New Account
New accounts will likely require some staked tokens for RAM and bandwidth.
wif = '5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3'
pubkey = 'BON6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV'
bon.transaction(tr => {
tr.newaccount({
creator: 'bon',
name: 'myaccount',
owner: pubkey,
active: pubkey
})
tr.buyrambytes({
payer: 'bon',
receiver: 'myaccount',
bytes: 8192
})
tr.delegatebw({
from: 'bon',
receiver: 'myaccount',
stake_net_quantity: '10.0000 BON',
stake_cpu_quantity: '10.0000 BON',
transfer: 0
})
})
Contract
Deploy and call smart contracts.
Compile
If you're loading a wasm file, you do not need binaryen. If you're loading a wast file you can include and configure the binaryen compiler, this is used to compile to wasm automatically when calling setcode.
Versions of binaryen may be problematic.
$ npm install [email protected]
binaryen = require('binaryen')
bon = Bon({keyProvider, binaryen})
Deploy
wasm = fs.readFileSync(`docker/contracts/bon.token/bon.token.wasm`)
abi = fs.readFileSync(`docker/contracts/bon.token/bon.token.abi`)
// Publish contract to the blockchain
bon.setcode('myaccount', 0, 0, wasm) // @returns {Promise}
bon.setabi('myaccount', JSON.parse(abi)) // @returns {Promise}
Fetch a smart contract
// @returns {Promise}
bon.contract('myaccount', [options], [callback])
// Run immediately, `myaction` returns a Promise
bon.contract('myaccount').then(myaccount => myaccount.myaction(..))
// Group actions. `transaction` returns a Promise but `myaction` does not
bon.transaction('myaccount', myaccount => { myaccount.myaction(..) })
// Transaction with multiple contracts
bon.transaction(['myaccount', 'myaccount2'], ({myaccount, myaccount2}) => {
myaccount.myaction(..)
myaccount2.myaction(..)
})
Offline or cold-storage contract
bon = Bon({httpEndpoint: null})
abi = fs.readFileSync(`docker/contracts/bon.token/bon.token.abi`)
bon.fc.abiCache.abi('myaccount', JSON.parse(abi))
// Check that the ABI is available (print usage)
bon.contract('myaccount').then(myaccount => myaccount.create())
Offline or cold-storage transaction
// ONLINE
// Prepare headers
expireInSeconds = 60 * 60 // 1 hour
bon = Bon(/* {httpEndpoint: 'https://..'} */)
info = await bon.getInfo({})
chainDate = new Date(info.head_block_time + 'Z')
expiration = new Date(chainDate.getTime() + expireInSeconds * 1000)
expiration = expiration.toISOString().split('.')[0]
block = await bon.getBlock(info.last_irreversible_block_num)
transactionHeaders = {
expiration,
ref_block_num: info.last_irreversible_block_num & 0xFFFF,
ref_block_prefix: block.ref_block_prefix
}
// OFFLINE (bring `transactionHeaders`)
// All keys in keyProvider will sign.
bon = Bon({httpEndpoint: null, chainId, keyProvider, transactionHeaders})
transfer = await bon.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.0000 BON', '')
transferTransaction = transfer.transaction
// ONLINE (bring `transferTransaction`)
bon = Bon(/* {httpEndpoint: 'https://..'} */)
processedTransaction = await bon.pushTransaction(transferTransaction)
Custom Token
// more on the contract / transaction syntax
await bon.transaction('myaccount', myaccount => {
// Create the initial token with its max supply
// const options = {authorization: 'myaccount'} // default
myaccount.create('myaccount', '10000000.000 TOK')//, options)
// Issue some of the max supply for circulation into an arbitrary account
myaccount.issue('myaccount', '10000.000 TOK', 'issue')
})
const balance = await bon.getCurrencyBalance('myaccount', 'myaccount', 'TOK')
console.log('Currency Balance', balance)
Calling Actions
Other ways to use contracts and transactions.
// if either transfer fails, both will fail (1 transaction, 2 messages)
await bon.transaction(bon =>
{
bon.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.0000 BON', ''/*memo*/)
bon.transfer('inita', 'initc', '1.0000 BON', ''/*memo*/)
// Returning a promise is optional (but handled as expected)
}
// [options],
// [callback]
)
// transaction on a single contract
await bon.transaction('myaccount', myaccount => {
myaccount.transfer('myaccount', 'inita', '10.000 TOK@myaccount', '')
})
// mix contracts in the same transaction
await bon.transaction(['myaccount', 'bon.token'], ({myaccount, bon_token}) => {
myaccount.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.000 TOK@myaccount', '')
bon_token.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.0000 BON', '')
})
// The contract method does not take an array so must be called once for
// each contract that is needed.
const myaccount = await bon.contract('myaccount')
await myaccount.transfer('myaccount', 'inita', '1.000 TOK', '')
// a transaction to a contract instance can specify multiple actions
await myaccount.transaction(myaccountTr => {
myaccountTr.transfer('inita', 'initb', '1.000 TOK', '')
myaccountTr.transfer('initb', 'inita', '1.000 TOK', '')
})
Development
From time-to-time the bonjs and nodbon binary format will change between releases
so you may need to start nodbon
with the --skip-transaction-signatures
parameter
to get your transactions to pass.
Note, package.json
has a "main" pointing to ./lib
. The ./lib
folder is for
es2015 code built in a separate step. If you're changing and testing code,
import from ./src
instead.
Bon = require('./src')
// forceActionDataHex = false helps transaction readability but may trigger back-end bugs
config = {verbose: true, debug: false, broadcast: true, forceActionDataHex: true, keyProvider}
bon = Bon(config)
Fcbuffer
The bon
instance can provide serialization:
// 'asset' is a type but could be any struct or type like: transaction or uint8
type = {type: 1, data: '00ff'}
buffer = bon.fc.toBuffer('extensions_type', type)
assert.deepEqual(type, bon.fc.fromBuffer('extensions_type', buffer))
// ABI Serialization
bon.contract('bon.token', (error, bon_token) => {
create = {issuer: 'inita', maximum_supply: '1.0000 BON'}
buffer = bon_token.fc.toBuffer('create', create)
assert.deepEqual(create, bon_token.fc.fromBuffer('create', buffer))
})
Use Node v10+ for package-lock.json
.
Related Libraries
These libraries are integrated into bonjs
seamlessly so you probably do not
need to use them directly. They are exported here giving more API access or
in some cases may be used standalone.
var {format, api, ecc, json, Fcbuffer} = Bon.modules
format ./format.md
- Blockchain name validation
- Asset string formatting
- Remote API to an BON blockchain node (nodbon)
- Use this library directly if you need read-only access to the blockchain (don't need to sign transactions).
- Private Key, Public Key, Signature, AES, Encryption / Decryption
- Validate public or private keys
- Encrypt or decrypt with BON compatible checksums
- Calculate a shared secret
- Blockchain definitions (api method names, blockchain schema)
