monero-nodejs-libwallet

Wrapper for monero libwallet. All created wallet files are compatible with monero-wallet-cli and monero-wallet-rpc. Check example/index.js for usage examples of the library.

Installation

$ npm install monero-nodejs-libwallet

npm will try to find and download precompiled binaries for your node version, OS and architecture. Then include require statement in your js-code and use it:

const monero = require('monero-nodejs-libwallet');

If npm couldn't find proper binaries for your platform please refer to manual build section.

Manual Build

If you want to build the addon manually or there are no prebuilt binaries for your platform in npm repository please check the official monero guide on how to satisfy all the dependencies. After that you may compile the addon following these steps:

Checkout the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/exantech/monero-nodejs-libwallet

Install prerequisites (example for ubuntu below)

$ sudo apt-get install libpcsclite-dev

Run build:

$ npm run build

Link your local build (using npm link command):

$ npm link

Then, in your project directory:

$ npm link monero-nodejs-libwallet

And use it in you source code:

const monero = require('monero-nodejs-libwallet');

var state = wallet.multisigState();
console.log('is multisig: ' + state.isMultisig);
console.log('is multisig ready: ' + state.isReady); //indicates multisig wallet creation process is finished
console.log('multisig threshold: ' + state.threshold); //number of required signatures

signMessage, verifySignedMessage

These functions only allowed for non-multisig wallets. signMessage returns signature for arbitrary message. verifySignedMessage Verifies message's signature with public monero address. Returns true if the signature is valid:

var signature = wallet1.signMessage('Hello, world!');
console.log('signature valid: ' + wallet2.verifySignedMessage('Hello, world!', wallet1.address(), signature));

signMultisigParticipant, verifyMessageWithPublicKey

These functions only allowed for multisig wallets. signMultisigParticipant signs a message with your multisig public signer's key (Note: it's not equal to spend public key!) and returns the signature. verifyMessageWithPublicKey verifies message's signature with multisig public signer's key. Accepts message, multisig public signer's and the signature:

var signature = wallet1.signMultisigParticipant('Hello, world!');
var signerKey = wallet1.publicMultisigSignerKey();
console.log('signature valid: ' + wallet2.verifyMessageWithPublicKey('Hello, world!', signerKey, signature));

getMultisigInfo

Returns serialized to string multisig info data necessary for multisig wallet creation (see example below).

makeMultisig

Accepts multisig infos from all participants and the threshold to set wallet into multisig state (see example below). In case of N / N wallets it's the last step in wallet creation. In case of N - 1 / N wallets returns extra multisig info which must be passed to another participants.

finalizeMultisig

Accepts extra multisig info (result of makeMultisig invocation) from all participants and finalizes N - 1 / N multisig wallet creation.

3 / 3 multisig wallet creation example:

var msigInfo1 = wallet1.getMultisigInfo();
var msigInfo2 = wallet2.getMultisigInfo();
var msigInfo3 = wallet3.getMultisigInfo();

wallet1.makeMultisig([msigInfo2, msigInfo3], 3);
wallet2.makeMultisig([msigInfo1, msigInfo3], 3);
wallet3.makeMultisig([msigInfo1, msigInfo2], 3);

console.log('multisig wallet created');
console.log('wallet1 address: ' + wallet1.address());
console.log('wallet2 address: ' + wallet2.address());
console.log('wallet3 address: ' + wallet3.address());

2 / 3 multisig wallet creation example:

var msigInfo1 = wallet1.getMultisigInfo();

var emsigInfo1 = wallet1.makeMultisig([msigInfo2, msigInfo3], 2);
var emsigInfo2 = wallet2.makeMultisig([msigInfo1, msigInfo3], 2);
var emsigInfo3 = wallet3.makeMultisig([msigInfo1, msigInfo2], 2);

wallet1.finalizeMultisig([emsigInfo2, emsigInfo3]);
wallet2.finalizeMultisig([emsigInfo1, emsigInfo3]);

var ki3 = msigWallet3.exportMultisigImages();

msigWallet1.importMultisigImages([ki2, ki3]);
msigWallet2.importMultisigImages([ki1, ki3]);

transactionsIds

Returns transactions ids of newly generated pending transaction:

if (tx.transactionsCount() > 1) {
    for (i = 0; i < tx.transactionsCount(); i++) {
        console.log('transaction #' + i + ': ' + tx.transactionsIds()[i]);
    }

	wallet2.restoreMultisigTransaction(signData).then((tx) => {
		console.log('multisig transaction restored successfully. Signing...');
		tx.signMultisigTransaction();
	}).catch((e) => {
		console.log("couldn't restore multisig transaction: " + e);
	});
}).catch((e) => {
	console.log("couldn't create transaction: " + e);
});
