Classes

Blockchain

Class that wraps http requests for blockchain-related RPC calls.

Blockchain(provider: Provider, signer: Wallet): Blockchain

Parameters

• provider: Provider
• signer: Wallet

Returns

• Blockchain

Members

provider: Provider

signer: Wallet

Instance Methods

CreateTransaction(transaction : Transaction, maxAttempts? : number, interval? : interval) : Promise<Transaction>

Creates a transaction and polls the lookup node for a transaction receipt. The transaction is considered to be lost if it is not confirmed within the timeout period.

Parameters

• transaction: Transaction - the transaction object
• attempts (Optional - default 20): number - the number of times to poll the lookup node for transaction receipt.
• interval (Optional - default 1000): number - the amount of time to wait between attempts. increases linearly (numAttempts * interval)

Returns

• Promise<Transaction> - the Transaction that has been signed and broadcasted to the network.

getBlockChainInfo(): Promise<RPCResponse<ShardingStructure, string>>

Retrieves generally blockchain information, such as the number of nodes per shard.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<ShardingStructure, string>>

getDSBlock(blockNum: number): Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

Queries the blockchain for a specific DS block, by number.

Parameters

• blockNum: string - the DS block the retrieve

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

getLatestDSBlock(): Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

Gets the most recently confirmed DS block.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

getNumDSBlocks(): Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>>

Queries the blockchain for the number of confirmed DS blocks in the chain.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>> - use parseInt as the number is encoded as a string.

getDSBlockRate(): Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

Gets the ds blocks processed per second.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

getDSBlockListing(max: number): Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

Gets a paginated list of DS blocks.

Parameters

max: number - the maximum number of pages to retrieve

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

getTxBlock(blockNum: number): Promise<RPCResponse<TxBlockObj, string>>

Retrieves a TxBlock by number.

Parameters

blockNum: number - the tx block to retrieve.

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<TxBlockObj, string>>

getLatestTxBlock(): Promise<RPCResponse<TxBlockObj, string>>

Gets the most recently confirmed Tx block.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<DsBlockObj, string>>

getNumTxBlocks(): Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>>

Queries the blockchain for the number of confirmed Tx blocks in the chain.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<string, string>> - use parseInt as the number is encoded as a string.

getTxBlockRate(): Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

Gets the Tx blocks processed per second.

Parameters

None

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<number, string>>

getTxBlockListing(max: number): Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>

Gets a paginated list of Tx blocks.

Parameters

max: number - the maximum number of pages to retrieve

Returns

• Promise<RPCResponse<BlockList, string>>
