armlet

Armlet, a MythX API client wrapper

Armlet is a thin wrapper around the MythX API written in Javascript which simplifies interaction with MythX. For example, the library wraps API analysis requests into a promise.

Installation

Just as with any nodejs package, install with:

$ npm install armlet

Example

Here is a small example of how you might use this client. For demonstration purposes, we’ll set the credentials created on the MythX, you can use either the Ethereum address or email used during registration and the password you created:

$ export MYTHX_PASSWORD='AAAyyyyyyyy@*#!?'
$ export MYTHX_ETH_ADDRESS=0xdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef

Then get the MythX analysis results with the promise returned by the exposed function:

const armlet = require('armlet')
const client = new armlet.Client(
  {
      password: process.env.MYTHX_PASSWORD,  // adjust this
      ethAddress: process.env.MYTHX_ETH_ADDRESS,
  })

const data = {
    "bytecode": "0x608060405234801561001057600080fd5b5060d48061001f6000396000f3fe608060405260043610603f576000357c0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000900463ffffffff16806338d94193146044575b600080fd5b348015604f57600080fd5b50607960048036036020811015606457600080fd5b8101908080359060200190929190505050608f565b6040518082815260200191505060405180910390f35b600081600881101515609d57fe5b01600091509050548156fea165627a7a723058206f554b09240c9771a583534d72575fcfb4623ab4df3ddc139442047795fd383b0029",
};

client.analyzeWithStatus({data})
    .then(result => {
	const util = require('util');
	console.log(`${util.inspect(result.status, {depth: null})}`);
	console.log(`${util.inspect(result.issues, {depth: null})}`);
  }).catch(err => {
    console.log(err)
  })

You can also specify the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the analysis to be done (the default is 40 seconds). Also, for statistical tracking you can tag the type of tool making the request using clientToolName.

As an example, to wait up to 50 seconds, and log analysis request as as use of armlet-readme, run:

client.analyzeWithStatus({data, timeout: 50000, clientToolName: 'armlet-readme'})
  .then(result => {
    console.log(result.status, {depth: null})
    console.log(result.issues, {depth: null})
  }).catch(err => {
    console.log(err)
  })
