ETH

The essential Elixir library for interacting with Ethereum blockchain. You can now create Ethereum wallets, query the blockchain and sign/send transactions, all from Elixir / Erlang Virtual Machine.

Example

  wallet = ETH.Wallet.create
  # %{eth_address: "0x31CF67A272A23C7A11128C97FC3B2F4C13AFD87F",
  #   mnemonic_phrase: "similar bleak naive absorb picnic avoid sponsor canoe inform misery crisp hotel critic have parent couch wrong survey staff primary wet wear velvet horse",
  #   private_key: "C8E2F24A806A422034990C7391B4CEB7133CD3680987FEBB5750555F99F0FC83",
  #   public_key: "04C4AA07F234226CA90FB3E8BB1590D5BEB703E449700FE0B2DF539A948289EA75220CC837CA68F429F3FB3D6677B2D63CF66277888B8209D0B3F3229CE339654C"}

  specific_private_key = "9756371A51D7FC25EDFC95A49DEF3806ED34DF2EBCA2065E543369E708C47374"
  another_wallet = ETH.Wallet.create(specific_private_key)
  # %{eth_address: "0x6A26B49D8046DC5B74D41E29F9A5CA7AD78EEC9B",
  #   mnemonic_phrase: "nuclear random shoot photo lemon base retire naive pig urge sock assist spy hurdle road nephew alien verify art stable identify giraffe soccer mushroom",
  #   private_key: "9756371A51D7FC25EDFC95A49DEF3806ED34DF2EBCA2065E543369E708C47374",

  ETH.get_balance("0x31CF67A272A23C7A11128C97FC3B2F4C13AFD87F") # {:ok, 0} # this account holds no ether
  ETH.get_balance!(first_account_in_your_client, :wei) # 1.0e20 -> in this example this address holds 100 ether / 1.0e20 wei

  ETH.get_transaction_count(first_account_in_your_client) # {:ok, 0}

  {:ok, tx_hash} = ETH.send_transaction(%{
    from: first_account_in_your_client, to: wallet[:eth_address], value: 22
  }, first_account_private_key)
  # {:ok, "0x13893d677251ddb9259263490504f3e611a0a7bff23b108641d2cb08b7af21dc"}

Warning: This library uses the Ethereum JSON-RPC under the hood, so you need an ethereum client such as parity/geth or testrpc to use of most of the API.

Credits

• Izel Nakri - I reverse engineered ethereum JavaScript libraries in Elixir so you don't have to.

Additionally this library wouldnt exist without the libraries below:

• ExRLP
• Ethereumex
• keccakf1600
• libsecp256k1

NOTE:

To properly use this package, you will need to run rebar compile eunit for libsecp256k1.

TODO:

Ethereum Smart Contracts, small enhancements

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding eth to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:eth, "~> 0.6.5"}
  ]
end

Running the tests

Install a testrpc(now renamed to ganache) to run ethereum locally: npm install -g ganache

Elixir tests automatically spawns and kills the ganache process. All you need to do now is to run the tests in sequence thus --seed 0: mix test --seed 0
