The Parity Promise-based API & ABI library for interfacing with Ethereum over RPC
npm install @parity/parity.jsParity.js is a thin, fast, Promise-based wrapper around the Ethereum APIs.
https://github.com/paritytech/parity/tree/master/js/src/api
Install the package with npm install --save @parity/parity.js
``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);
`
perform a call
`javascriptThe coinbase is ${coinbase}
api.eth
.coinbase()
.then((coinbase) => {
console.log();`
});
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);
});
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
`javascriptthe result was ${result}
contract.instance
.callMe
.call({ gas: 21000 }, [true, 'someString']) // or estimateGas or postTransaction
.then((result) => {
console.log();`
});
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.
