Cweb3.js - Web3.js for Cico

Cweb3 is a library for dApps to interract with the Cico blockchain. Cweb3 communicates to a Cico node via the provider provided.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/cweb3

Get Started

Run the following in your project folder:

npm install cweb3 --save

Web Dapp Usage

This is example is meant for web dapps who would like to use Cweb3's convenience methods with Cicorypto's RPC provider. Cicorypto is a Cico wallet Chrome extension. More details about Cicorypto here.

1. Construct Cweb3 instance

If you have Cicorypyto installed, you will have a window.cicorypto object injected in your browser tab. Pass that into Cweb3 as a parameter to set the provider.

const cweb3 = new Cweb3(window.cicorypto.rpcProvider);

2. Construct Contract instance

The Contract class is meant for executing sendtocontract or callcontract at a specific contract address with a given ABI.

const contractAddress = 'f7b958eac2bdaca0f225b86d162f263441d23c19';
const contractAbi = [{"constant":false,"inputs":[{"name":"_eventAddress","type":"address"},{"name":"_eventName","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_eventResultNames","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_numOfResults","type":"uint8"},{"name":"_lastResultIndex","type":"uint8"},{"name":"_arbitrationEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_consensusThreshold","type":"uint256"}],"name":"createDecentralizedOracle","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"constant":true,"inputs":[{"name":"_eventAddress","type":"address"},{"name":"_eventName","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_eventResultNames","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_numOfResults","type":"uint8"},{"name":"_lastResultIndex","type":"uint8"},{"name":"_arbitrationEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_consensusThreshold","type":"uint256"}],"name":"doesDecentralizedOracleExist","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"bool"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"constant":false,"inputs":[{"name":"_oracle","type":"address"},{"name":"_eventAddress","type":"address"},{"name":"_eventName","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_eventResultNames","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_numOfResults","type":"uint8"},{"name":"_bettingEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_resultSettingEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_consensusThreshold","type":"uint256"}],"name":"createCentralizedOracle","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"constant":true,"inputs":[{"name":"_oracle","type":"address"},{"name":"_eventAddress","type":"address"},{"name":"_eventName","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_eventResultNames","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"name":"_numOfResults","type":"uint8"},{"name":"_bettingEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_resultSettingEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_consensusThreshold","type":"uint256"}],"name":"doesCentralizedOracleExist","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"bool"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"constant":true,"inputs":[{"name":"","type":"bytes32"}],"name":"oracles","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"name":"_addressManager","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"constructor"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"name":"_contractAddress","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"name":"_oracle","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"name":"_eventAddress","type":"address"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_name","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_resultNames","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_numOfResults","type":"uint8"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_bettingEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_resultSettingEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_consensusThreshold","type":"uint256"}],"name":"CentralizedOracleCreated","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"name":"_contractAddress","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"name":"_eventAddress","type":"address"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_name","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_resultNames","type":"bytes32[10]"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_numOfResults","type":"uint8"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_lastResultIndex","type":"uint8"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_arbitrationEndBlock","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_consensusThreshold","type":"uint256"}],"name":"DecentralizedOracleCreated","type":"event"}];

// Create a new Contract instance and use the same provider as cweb3
const contract = cweb3.Contract(contractAddress, contractAbi);

3. Get Logged In Cicorypto Account

To get the current logged in account in Cicorypto, you will have to add an Event Listener to listen to messages sent from Cicorypto.

let account;

function onCicoryptoAcctChange(event) {
  if (event.data.message && event.data.message.type == "ACCOUNT_CHANGED") {
    account = event.data.message.payload;

    // You now have the logged in account.
    // account = InpageAccount {
    //   loggedIn: true,
    //   name: "My Wallet", 
    //   network: "TestNet",
    //   address: "qJHp6dUSmDShpEEMmwxqHPo7sFSdydSkPM",
    //   balance: 49.10998413
    // } 

    // You may also get the account from `window.cicorypto.account`.
    // account = window.cicorypto.account
  }
}
window.addEventListener('message', onCicoryptoAcctChange, false);

4. Execute sendtocontract

The last piece is to execute a sendtocontract on your Contract instance. This will automatically show a Cicorypto popup to confirm that you would like to send the transaction.

// Does a sendtocontract call on a function called setResult(uint8)
const tx = await contract.send('setResult', {
  methodArgs: [1],    // Sets the function params
  gasLimit: 1000000,  // Sets the gas limit to 1 million
  senderAddress: account.address,
});
// tx = txid of the transaction

Cweb3Provider

The provider is the link between Cweb3 and the blockchain. A compatible Cweb3 Provider adheres to the following interface:

interface Cweb3Provider: {
  rawCall: (method: string, args: any[]) => Promise; // returns the result of the request
}

Cweb3

Instantiate a new instance of Cweb3:

const { Cweb3 } = require('cweb3');

// Instantiate Cweb3 with HttpProvider
// Pass in the URL of your Cico node RPC port with auth credentials.
// Default Cico RPC ports: testnet=23889 mainnet=38890
const cweb3 = new Cweb3('http://bodhi:bodhi@localhost:23889');

// Instantiate Cweb3 with CicoryptoRPCProvider
// CicoryptoRPCProvider is a provider for the Cicorypto Wallet Chrome Extension.
// Please note CicoryptoRPCProvider only allows the rawCall() method to be used.
// It is specifically used for `sendtocontract` and `callcontract` only.
const cweb3 = new Cweb3(window.cicorypto.rpcProvider);

isConnected()

Checks if you are connected properly to the local cico node.

async function isConnected() {
  return await cweb3.isConnected();
}

getHexAddress(address)

Converts a Cico address to hex format.

async function getHexAddress() {
  return await cweb3.getHexAddress('qKjn4fStBaAtwGiwueJf9qFxgpbAvf1xAy');
}

fromHexAddress(hexAddress)

Converts a hex address to Cico format.

async function fromHexAddress() {
  return await cweb3.fromHexAddress('17e7888aa7412a735f336d2f6d784caefabb6fa3');
}

getBlockCount()

Gets the current block height of your local Cico node.

async function getBlockCount() {
  return await cweb3.getBlockCount();
}

getTransaction(txid)

Gets the transaction details of the transaction id.

async function getTransaction(args) {
  const {
    transactionId, // string
  } = args;

  return await cweb3.getTransactionReceipt(transactionId);
}

getTransactionReceipt(txid)

Gets the transaction receipt of the transaction id.

async function getTransactionReceipt(args) {
  const {
    transactionId, // string
  } = args;

  return await cweb3.getTransactionReceipt(transactionId);
}

listUnspent()

Gets the unspent outputs that can be used.

async function listUnspent() {
  return await cweb3.listUnspent();
}

searchLogs(fromBlock, toBlock, addresses, topics, contractMetadata, removeHexPrefix)

Gets the logs given the params on the blockchain.

The contractMetadata param contains the contract names and ABI that you would like to parse. An example of one is:

# contract_metadata.js
module.exports = {
  EventFactory: {
    address: 'd53927df927be7fc51ce8bf8b998cb6611c266b0',
