koinos-as-gen

This is a protoc plugin to generate Koinos AssemblyScript Contract boilerplate code based on a proto file.

Installation

# with npm
npm install --save-dev koinos-as-gen

# with yarn
yarn add --dev koinos-as-gen

Important note

The plugin will generate a CONTACT.boilerplate.ts file and an index.ts, for this to work the proto file needs to follow these rules:

• the proto file must like in a proto folder that is at the same level as the AssemblyScript files
• arguments messages must be name as METHODNAME_arguments
• result messages must be name as METHODNAME_result (you can also provide a custom result by using the @result decorator. The custom result MUST be within the same proto file)

Usage

protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-as=./node_modules/.bin/koinos-as-gen --as_out=. myProtoFile.proto

// you can generate the "authorize" entry point by setting the GENERATE_AUTHORIZE_ENTRY_POINT env variable
GENERATE_AUTHORIZE_ENTRY_POINT=1 protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-as=./node_modules/.bin/koinos-as-gen --as_out=. myProtoFile.proto

// you can set the return buffer size of the contract by setting the RETURN_BUFFER_SIZE env variable
RETURN_BUFFER_SIZE=2048 protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-as=./node_modules/.bin/koinos-as-gen --as_out=. myProtoFile.proto

Example

The following proto file:

syntax = "proto3";

package calculator;

// @description Add two integers
// @read-only true
message add_arguments {
  int64 x = 1;
  int64 y = 2;
}

message add_result {
  int64 value = 1;
}

will generate the following `Calculator.boilerplate.ts file:

import { calculator } from "./proto/calculator";

export class Calculator {
  add(args: calculator.add_arguments): calculator.add_result {
    // const x = args.x;
    // const y = args.y;

    // YOUR CODE HERE

    const res = new calculator.add_result();
    // res.value = ;

    return res;
  }
}

and will generate the following `index.ts file:

import { System, Protobuf } from "koinos-as-sdk";
import { Calculator as ContractClass } from "./Calculator";
import { calculator as ProtoNamespace } from "./proto/calculator";

export function main(): i32 {
  const entryPoint = System.getEntryPoint();
  const rdbuf = System.getContractArguments();
  let retbuf = new Uint8Array(1024);

  const c = new ContractClass();

  switch (entryPoint) {
    case 0x7e9e5ac3: {
      const args = Protobuf.decode<ProtoNamespace.add_arguments>(
        rdbuf,
        ProtoNamespace.add_arguments.decode
      );
      const res = c.add(args);
      retbuf = Protobuf.encode(res, ProtoNamespace.add_result.encode);
      break;
    }

    default:
      System.exitContract(1);
      break;
  }

  System.setContractResult(retbuf);

  System.exitContract(0);
  return 0;
}

main();
