Readme
A module for managing groups of Ethereum accounts called "Keyrings", defined originally for MetaMask's multiple-account-type feature.
To add new account types to a KeyringController
, just make sure it follows The Keyring Class Protocol.
The KeyringController has three main responsibilities:
yarn add @metamask/eth-keyring-controller
This library uses the Node.js events
API. If you are using this library outside of a Node.js context, ensure that you have a polyfill for the events
API (this is built-in to browserify
).
const { KeyringController } = require('@metamask/eth-keyring-controller');
const SimpleKeyring = require('@metamask/eth-simple-keyring');
const keyringController = new KeyringController({
keyringTypes: [SimpleKeyring], // optional array of types to support.
initState: initState.KeyringController, // Last emitted persisted state.
encryptor: {
// An optional object for defining encryption schemes:
// Defaults to Browser-native SubtleCrypto.
encrypt(password, object) {
return new Promise('encrypted!');
},
decrypt(password, encryptedString) {
return new Promise({ foo: 'bar' });
},
},
});
// The KeyringController is also an event emitter:
this.keyringController.on('newAccount', (address) => {
console.log(`New account created: ${address}`);
});
this.keyringController.on('removedAccount', handleThat);
Currently the methods are heavily commented in the source code, so it's the best place to look until we aggregate it here as well.
