# @parity/parity.js
|
|
|
|
Parity.js is a thin, fast, Promise-based wrapper around the Ethereum APIs.
|
|
|
|
[https://github.com/paritytech/parity/tree/master/js/src/api](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/tree/master/js/src/api)
|
|
|
|
## installation
|
|
|
|
Install the package with `npm install --save @parity/parity.js`
|
|
|
|
## usage
|
|
|
|
### initialisation
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// 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
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
api.eth
|
|
.coinbase()
|
|
.then((coinbase) => {
|
|
console.log(`The coinbase is ${coinbase}`);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
multiple promises
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
Promise
|
|
.all([
|
|
api.eth.coinbase(),
|
|
api.net.listening()
|
|
])
|
|
.then(([coinbase, listening]) => {
|
|
// do stuff here
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
chaining promises
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
api.eth
|
|
.newFilter({...})
|
|
.then((filterId) => api.eth.getFilterChanges(filterId))
|
|
.then((changes) => {
|
|
console.log(changes);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### contracts
|
|
|
|
attach contract
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
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](https://github.com/paritytech/ethereum-rpc-json/) definitions. Mapping follows the naming conventions of the originals, i.e. `eth_call` becomes `eth.call`, `personal_accounts` becomes `personal.accounts`, etc.
