Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

fabric-contract-api

v2.5.8

Published

A node.js implementation of Hyperledger Fabric chaincode shim, to allow endorsing peers and user-provided chaincodes to communicate with each other

Readme

NPM NPM

Version

The fabric-contract-api provides the contract interface a high level API for application developers to implement Smart Contracts. Working with this API provides a high level entry point to writing business logic.

Within Hyperledger Fabric, Smart Contracts can also be referred to as Chaincode. To be more specific, the term chaincode is preferred to be used to refer to the overall container that is hosting the contracts.

The fabric-shim provides the chaincode interface, a lower level API for implementing "Smart Contracts". It also currently provides the implementation to support communication with Hyperledger Fabric peers for Smart Contracts written using the fabric-contract-api. To confirm that this is the same as the fabric-shim in previous versions of Hyperledger Fabric.

Detailed explanation on the concept and programming model can be found here: https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/smartcontract/smartcontract.html.

Contract Interface

Installation

npm install --save fabric-contract-api

Usage

Implement a class that ends the contract class, a constructor is needed. The other functions will be invokable functions of your Smart Contract

// updatevalues.js
'use strict';

// SDK Library to asset with writing the logic
const { Contract } = require('fabric-contract-api');

// Business logic (well just util but still it's general purpose logic)
const util = require('util');

/**
 * Support the Updating of values within the SmartContract
 */
class UpdateValuesContract extends Contract

  constructor(){
	   	super('UpdateValuesContract');
	}

	async transactionA(ctx, newValue) {
		// retrieve existing chaincode states
		let oldValue = await ctx.stub.getState(key);

		await ctx.stub.putState(key, Buffer.from(newValue));

		return Buffer.from(newValue.toString());
	}

	async transactionB(ctx) {
	  //  .....
	}

};

module.exports = UpdateValuesContract

As with standard node modules make sure that this class is exported as follows.

// index.js
'use strict';

const UpdateValues = require('./updatevalues')
module.exports.contracts = [UpdateValues];

Note: In order to make this contract 'runnable' you must also install the fabric-shim module as below, and ensure that the 'start' script in package.json refers to fabric-chaincode-node start

  "scripts": {
   	"start": "fabric-chaincode-node start"
  }

The fabric-shim provides the fabric-chaincode-node commands; this can also be used to create a skelton metadata file.

Chaincode Interface

Installation

npm install --save fabric-shim

Usage

The chaincode interface contains two methods to be implemented:

const shim = require('fabric-shim');

const Chaincode = class {
	async Init(stub) {
		// use the instantiate input arguments to decide initial chaincode state values

		// save the initial states
		await stub.putState(key, Buffer.from(aStringValue));

		return shim.success(Buffer.from('Initialized Successfully!'));
	}

	async Invoke(stub) {
		// use the invoke input arguments to decide intended changes

		// retrieve existing chaincode states
		let oldValue = await stub.getState(key);

		// calculate new state values and saves them
		let newValue = oldValue + delta;
		await stub.putState(key, Buffer.from(newValue));

		return shim.success(Buffer.from(newValue.toString()));
	}
};

Start the chaincode process and listen for incoming endorsement requests:

shim.start(new Chaincode());
