@parity/parity.js
Parity.js is a thin, fast, Promise-based wrapper around the Ethereum APIs.
https://github.com/ethcore/parity/tree/master/js/src/api
installation
Install the package with npm install --save @parity/parity.js
usage
initialisation
// import the actual Api class
import { Api } from '@parity/parity.js';
// do the setup
const transport = new Api.Transport.Http('http://localhost:8545');
const api = new Api(transport);
making calls
perform a call
api.eth
  .coinbase()
  .then((coinbase) => {
    console.log(`The coinbase is ${coinbase}`);
  });
multiple promises
Promise
  .all([
    api.eth.coinbase(),
    api.net.listening()
  ])
  .then(([coinbase, listening]) => {
    // do stuff here
  });
chaining promises
api.eth
  .newFilter({...})
  .then((filterId) => api.eth.getFilterChanges(filterId))
  .then((changes) => {
    console.log(changes);
  });
contracts
attach contract
const abi = [{ name: 'callMe', inputs: [{ type: 'bool', ...}, { type: 'string', ...}]}, ...abi...];
const address = '0x123456...9abc';
const contract = new api.newContract(abi, address);
find & call a function
contract.instance
  .callMe
  .call({ gas: 21000 }, [true, 'someString']) // or estimateGas or postTransaction
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(`the result was ${result}`);
  });
apis
APIs implement the calls as exposed in the Ethcore JSON Ethereum RPC definitions. Mapping follows the naming conventions of the originals, i.e. eth_call becomes eth.call, personal_accounts becomes personal.accounts, etc.
