Elixir JSON-RPC client for the Ethereum blockchain.

Check out the documentation here.

Installation

Add :ethereumex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ethereumex, "~> 0.10"}
  ]
end

Ensure :ethereumex is started before your application:

def application do
  [
    applications: [:ethereumex]
  ]
end

Configuration

In config/config.exs, add Ethereum protocol host params to your config file

config :ethereumex,
  url: "http://localhost:8545"

You can also configure the HTTP request timeout for requests sent to the Ethereum JSON-RPC (you can also overwrite this configuration in opts used when calling the client).

config :ethereumex,
  http_options: [pool_timeout: 5000, receive_timeout: 15_000],
  http_headers: [{"Content-Type", "application/json"}]

:pool_timeout - This timeout is applied when we check out a connection from the pool. Default value is 5_000. :receive_timeout - The maximum time to wait for a response before returning an error. Default value is 15_000

If you want to use IPC you will need to set a few things in your config.

First, specify the :client_type:

config :ethereumex,
  client_type: :ipc

This will resolve to :http by default.

Second, specify the :ipc_path:

config :ethereumex,
  ipc_path: "/path/to/ipc"

If you want to count the number of RPC calls per RPC method or overall, you can attach yourself to executed telemetry events. There are two events you can attach yourself to: [:ethereumex] # has RPC method name in metadata Emitted event: {:event, [:ethereumex], %{counter: 1}, %{method_name: "method_name"}}

or more granular [:ethereumex, <rpc_method>] # %{} metadata Emitted event: {:event, [:ethereumex, :method_name_as_atom], %{counter: 1}, %{}}

Each event caries a single ticker that you can pass into your counters (like Statix.increment/2). Be sure to add :telemetry as project dependency.

The IPC client type mode opens a pool of connection workers (default is 5 and 2, respectively). You can configure the pool size.

config :ethereumex,
  ipc_worker_size: 5,
  ipc_max_worker_overflow: 2,
  ipc_request_timeout: 60_000

Test

Download parity and initialize the password file

$ make setup

Run parity

$ make run

Run tests

$ make test

Usage

Available methods:

IpcClient

You can follow along with any of these examples using IPC by replacing HttpClient with IpcClient.

Examples

iex> Ethereumex.HttpClient.web3_client_version
{:ok, "Parity//v1.7.2-beta-9f47909-20170918/x86_64-macos/rustc1.19.0"}

# Using the url option will overwrite the configuration
iex> Ethereumex.HttpClient.web3_client_version(url: "http://localhost:8545")
{:ok, "Parity//v1.7.2-beta-9f47909-20170918/x86_64-macos/rustc1.19.0"}

iex> Ethereumex.HttpClient.web3_sha3("wrong_param")
{:error, %{"code" => -32602, "message" => "Invalid params: invalid format."}}

iex> Ethereumex.HttpClient.eth_get_balance("0x407d73d8a49eeb85d32cf465507dd71d507100c1")
{:ok, "0x0"}

Note that all method names are snakecases, so, for example, shh_getMessages method has corresponding Ethereumex.HttpClient.shh_get_messages/1 method. Signatures can be found in Ethereumex.Client.Behaviour. There are more examples in tests.

eth_call example - Read only smart contract calls

In order to call a smart contract using the JSON-RPC interface you need to properly hash the data attribute (this will need to include the contract method signature along with arguments if any). You can do this manually or use a hex package like ABI to parse your smart contract interface or encode individual calls.

defp deps do
  [
    ...
    {:ethereumex, "~> 0.9"},
    {:ex_abi, "~> 0.5"}
    ...
  ]
end

Now load the ABI and pass the method signature. Note that the address needs to be converted to bytes:

address           = "0xF742d4cE7713c54dD701AA9e92101aC42D63F895" |> String.slice(2..-1) |> Base.decode16!(case: :mixed)
contract_address  = "0xC28980830dD8b9c68a45384f5489ccdAF19D53cC"
abi_encoded_data  = ABI.encode("balanceOf(address)", [address]) |> Base.encode16(case: :lower)

Now you can use eth_call to execute this smart contract command:

balance_bytes = Ethereumex.HttpClient.eth_call(%{
  data: "0x" <> abi_encoded_data,
  to: contract_address
})

To convert the balance into an integer:

balance_bytes
|> String.slice(2..-1)
|> Base.decode16!(case: :lower)
|> TypeDecoder.decode_raw([{:uint, 256}])
|> List.first

Custom requests

Many Ethereum protocol implementations support additional JSON-RPC API methods. To use them, you should call Ethereumex.HttpClient.request/3 method.

For example, let's call parity's personal_listAccounts method.

iex> Ethereumex.HttpClient.request("personal_listAccounts", [], [])
{:ok,
 ["0x71cf0b576a95c347078ec2339303d13024a26910",
  "0x7c12323a4fff6df1a25d38319d5692982f48ec2e"]}

Batch requests

To send batch requests use Ethereumex.HttpClient.batch_request/1 or Ethereumex.HttpClient.batch_request/2 method.

requests = [
   {:web3_client_version, []},
   {:net_version, []},
   {:web3_sha3, ["0x68656c6c6f20776f726c64"]}
 ]
 Ethereumex.HttpClient.batch_request(requests)
 {
   :ok,
   [
     {:ok, "Parity//v1.7.2-beta-9f47909-20170918/x86_64-macos/rustc1.19.0"},
     {:ok, "42"},
     {:ok, "0x47173285a8d7341e5e972fc677286384f802f8ef42a5ec5f03bbfa254cb01fad"}
   ]
 }

Built on Ethereumex

If you are curious what others are building with ethereumex, you might want to take a look at these projects:

  • exw3 - A high-level contract abstraction and other goodies similar to web3.js

  • eth - Ethereum utilities for Elixir.

  • eth_contract - A set of helper methods for calling ETH Smart Contracts via JSON RPC.

  • ethers - Interacting with EVM contracts like first-class Elixir functions similar to Ethers.js
