## ethjs-extras

<br />

Nice lightweight extras for building dApps and focused Ethereum arch.

[Do not use in production... yet ;)]

## Install

```
npm install --save ethjs-extras
```

## Usage

```js
const {
  Eth,
  EthContract,
  onAccount,
  onReceipt,
  onBlock,
  call,
} = require('ethjs-extras'); // or import..

// make a raw method call to a rpc network
Eth({ network: 'rinkeby' }).raw('eth_blockNumber').then(console.log).catch(console.log);

// setup a light contract object, use solidity spec and or abi spec.
const simpleStore = new EthContract({
  network: 'rinkeby',
  address: '0x01a528451419d562a6752318a6fb71898fa5d840',
  methods: [
    'SimpleStore(address _master)',
    'set()',
    'Set(uint256 _value)',
    'master():(address)',
    'get():(uint256)',
  ],
});

// contract methods, promise only
simpleStore.get().then(console.log).catch(console.log); // using shorthand notation
simpleStore.master.call().then(console.log).catch(console.log); // using .call() notation
simpleStore.onEvent(console.log); // polls for events, receives, decodes and fires callback
simpleStore.getLogs({ fromBlock: 0 }).then(console.log).catch(console.log);

// send transaction notation .sendTransaction
// simpleStore.set.sendTransaction({ gas: 300000 }).then(console.log).catch(console.log);

// this fires when receipt is available for transaction hash
onReceipt('0x5005c4dddca407a46b4193379102228cbafc5fb48a269e973d85fd4c30704653', {
  network: 'mainnet',
})
.then(console.log).catch(console.log);

// just call a single contract method
call({
  network: 'rinkeby',
  address: '0x01a528451419d562a6752318a6fb71898fa5d840',
  solidity: 'get():(uint256)',
  args: [],
}).then(console.log).catch(console.log);

// get the balance
balanceOf('0x01a528451419d562a6752318a6fb71898fa5d840', { network: 'rinkeby' })
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.log);

// callback fires when accounts loaded from provider
onAccount(console.log, {
  provider: window.web3.currentProvider,
});

// callback fires when new block happens
onBlock(console.log, {
  network: 'ropsten',
});
```

## Contract Deployment

```js
const { Eth } = require('ethjs-extras');

// setup an Eth object
const { sendTransaction, onReceipt } = Eth({ provider: window.web3.currentProvider });

// or just use call with the constructor method.. hehe
sendTransaction({
  solidity: 'SimpleStore(address _master)',
  args: ['0x..SOME..ADDRESS..'],
  data: '0x..CONTRACT..DATA..',
  construct: true, // will create constructor sig.
})
.then(txHash => onReceipt(txHash))
.then(receipt => console.log(receipt.contractAddress))
.catch(console.log);

// once you have the address, you can setup a contract object, see first example..
```

## About

Experimental extras for EthJS.

## Philosophy

Simple. To the point. No bullshit. Virtually stateless objects and methods to interact with Ethereum.

## Promise / Callbacks

Promise only unless it's a callback that fires multiple times (i.e. `onBlock`, `onAccount`, `onEvent`)

## Polling => Websockets

We are currently using polling for the `receipts` / `logs`.. This will be `websockets` soon.

## Method Design

All methods can be used individually, or with defaults using the `Eth` object.

## ABI Encoding

Define in Solidity (thanks to solidity-to-abi), and `Ethers.js` does the rest ;)

## Solidity Types

Remember to define the full type for the solidity method inputs/ouputs (no shortcuts):

```
Bad:
uint

Good:
uint256

-----

Bad:
get():(uint)

Good:
get():(uint256)
```

## Eth Object

The Eth object is simply defining defaults which are being passed on to the methods...

```js
const { balanceOf, onAccount, contract, call } = Eth({ network: 'rinkeby' });
```

## Making Raw RPC Calls

You can make nice and raw RPC calls, but you have to do the hex decoding...

```js
const { Eth, hexToBN } = require('ethjs-extras');

Eth({ network: 'mainnet' }).raw('eth_blockNumber')
.then(blockAsHex => hexToBN(blockAsHex).toString(10)) // now.. BN object
.catch(console.log);
```

Raw method API:
`Eth(...).raw( RPC_METHOD_NAME_STRING, arg1, arg2, arg3 )`

We provide some helpers `val => result`..

Decoding Hex:
`hexToBN` : turn hex numbers into BN.js number object

Encoding Hex:
`hexPrefix` : hex prefix string data
`stripHexPrefix` : string hex prefix from string data (if any)
`hexNum` : always turn value (string / number / BN object) into hex string number

## Call Method Naming

The `call` and `ethCall` method are the same. Sometimes, function names like `call` are reserved depending on your linter. So we provide both for your convenience.

## Send Transaction

The `sendTransaction` method is simply the `call` method with the `method` defined as `sendTransaction`.

## Handling Ethereum Units

See `ethjs-unit` for handling unit conversion (eth => wei, USD => eth etc..)

## Network Determination

If 'network' specified: use infura at valid network (rinkeby, mainnet, ropsten)
If 'provider' specified: use provider object
If 'eth' specified: use eth object for sendAsync and method calls

## Contributing

Please help better the ecosystem by submitting issues and pull requests to `ethjs-format`. We need all the help we can get to build the absolute best linting standards and utilities. We follow the AirBNB linting standard and the unix philosophy.

## Help out

There is always a lot of work to do, and will have many rules to maintain. So please help out in any way that you can:

- Create, enhance, and debug ethjs rules (see our guide to ["Working on rules"](./github/CONTRIBUTING.md)).
- Improve documentation.
- Chime in on any open issue or pull request.
- Open new issues about your ideas for making `ethjs-format` better, and pull requests to show us how your idea works.
- Add new tests to *absolutely anything*.
- Create or contribute to ecosystem tools, like modules for encoding or contracts.
- Spread the word.

Please consult our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) docs before helping out.

We communicate via [issues](https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-extras/issues) and [pull requests](https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-extras/pulls).
