|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="#/v5/api/contract/contract/">Contract</a> object makes it easier to use an on-chain Contract as a normal JavaScript object, with the method all mapped to encoding and decoding data for you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are familiar with Databases, this is similar to ORM.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to communicate with the Contract on-chain, this class needs to know what methods are available and how to encode and decode the data, which is what the <i>Application Binary Interface</i> (API) provides.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This class is a meta-class, which means its methods are constructed at runtime, when you pass in the ABI to the constructor it uses that to determine which methods to add.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>While a on-chain Contract may have many methods available, you can safely ignore any methods you don't need or use, providing a smaller subset of the ABI to the contract.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>An ABI often comes from the Solidity or Vyper compiler, but may also be placed in the code easily using the Human-Readable ABI, which the following examples use.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Many people are concerned that encrypting and decrypting an Ethereum wallet is quite slow and can take quite some time. It is important to understand this is intentional and provides much stronger security.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The algorithm usually used for this process is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt">scrypt</a>, which is a memory and CPU intensive algorithm which computes a key (fixed-length psudo-random series of bytes) for a given password.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="/v5/concepts/security/-%23-security--security--pbkdf--why-does-it-take-so-long"></a><a name="/v5/concepts/security/"></a><h3 class="show-anchors"><div>Why does it take so long?<div class="anchors"><a class="self" href="#/v5/concepts/security/-%23-security--security--pbkdf--why-does-it-take-so-long"></a></div></div></h3><p>The goal is to use as much CPU and memory as possible during this algorithm, so that a single computer can only compute a very small number of results for some fixed amount of time. To scale up an attack, the attacker requires additional compuers, increasing the cost to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack">brute-force attack</a> to guess the password.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, if a user knows their correct password, this process may take 10 seconds for them to unlock their own wallet and proceed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But since an attacker does not know the password, they must guess; and each guess also requires 10 seconds. So, if they wish to try guessing 1 million passwords, their computer would be completely tied up for 10 million seconds, or around 115 days.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Without using an algorithm like this, a user would be able to log in instantly, however, 1 million passwords would only take a few seconds to attempt. Even secure passwords would likely be broken within a short period of time. There is no way the algorithm can be faster for a legitimate user without also being faster for an attacker.</p>

<a name="/v5/concepts/security/-%23-security--security--pbkdf--mitigating-the-user-experience"></a><a name="/v5/concepts/security/"></a><h3 class="show-anchors"><div>Mitigating the User Experience<div class="anchors"><a class="self" href="#/v5/concepts/security/-%23-security--security--pbkdf--mitigating-the-user-experience"></a></div></div></h3><p>Rather than reducing the security (see below), a better practice is to make the user feel better about waiting. The Ethers encryption and decryption API allows the developer to incorporate a progress bar, by passing in a progress callback which will be periodically called with a number between 0 and 1 indication percent completion.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general a progress bar makes the experience feel faster, as well as more comfortable since there is a clear indication how much (relative) time is remaining. Additionally, using language like <i>"decrpyting..."</i> in a progress bar makes a user feel like there time is not being <i>needlessly</i> wasted.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>The scrypt algorithm is designed to be tuned. The main purpose of this is to increase the difficulty as time goes on and computers get faster, but it can also be tuned down in situations where the security is less important.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>For values that have a simple meaning in JavaScript, the types are fairly straight forward; strings and booleans are returned as JavaScript strings and booleans.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For numbers, if the <b>type</b> is in the JavaSsript safe range (i.e. less than 53 bits, such as an <code class="inline">int24</code> or <code class="inline">uint48</code>) a normal JavaScript number is used. Otherwise a <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">BigNumber</a> is returned.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For bytes (both fixed length and dynamic), a <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bytes/-%23-DataHexString">DataHexString</a> is returned.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>This simplifies frameworks which wish to use the <a href="#/v5/api/contract/contract/">Contract</a> object, since they do not need to inspect the return types to unwrap simplified functions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Another use for this method is for error recovery. For example, if a function result is an invalid UTF-8 string, the normal call using the above meta-class function will throw an exception. This allows using the Result access error to access the low-level bytes and reason for the error allowing an alternate UTF-8 error strategy to be used.</p>

<p>Most developers should not require this.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>The ethers.js library provides several options which should cover the vast majority of use-cases, but also includes the necessary functions and classes for sub-classing if a more custom configuration is necessary.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Most users should be able to simply use the <a href="#/v5/api/providers/-%23-providers-getDefaultProvider">Default Provider</a>.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>It creates a <a href="#/v5/api/providers/other/-%23-FallbackProvider">FallbackProvider</a> connected to as many backend services as possible. When a request is made, it is sent to multiple backends simulatenously. As responses from each backend are returned, they are checked that they agree. Once a quorum has been reached (i.e. enough of the backends agree), the response is provided to your application.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This ensures that if a backend has become out-of-sync, or if it has been compromised that its responses are dropped in favor of responses that match the majority.</p>

<p>The deafult API Keys used by ethers are shared across all users, so services may throttle all services that are using the default API Keys during periods of load without realizing it.</p>
|

<p>Many services also have monitoring and usage metrics, which are only available if an API Key is specifie. This allows tracking how many requests are being sent and which methods are being used the most.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>One of the most common uses for this is to use a simple name to refer to an <a href="#/v5/api/utils/address/-%23-address">Ethereum Address</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the ethers API, nearly anywhere that accepts an address, an ENS name may be used instead, which can simplify code and make reading and debugging much simpler.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The provider offers some basic operations to help resolve and work with ENS names.</p>

<p>Many of the standards organically evolved along side the <a href="https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/v0.6.2/">Solidity</a> language, which other languages have adopted to remain compatibile with existing deployed contracts.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The EVM itself does not understand what the ABI is. It is simply an agreed upon set of formats to encode various types of data which each contract can expect so they can interoperate with each other.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>If the case is mixed, it is a <b>Checksum Address</b>, which uses a specific pattern of uppercase and lowercase letters within a given address to reduce the risk of errors introduced from typing an address or cut and paste issues.</p>

<p>All functions that return an Address will return a Checksum Address.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Due to the way IBAN encodes address, only addresses that fit into 30 base-36 characters are actually compatible, so the format was adapted to support 31 base-36 characters which is large enough for a full Ethereum address, however the preferred method was to select a private key whose address has a <code class="inline">0</code> as the first byte, which allows the address to be formatted as a fully compatibly standard IBAN address with 30 base-36 characters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general this format is no longer widely supported anymore, however any function that accepts an address can receive an ICAP address, and it will be converted internally.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To convert an address into the ICAP format, see <a href="#/v5/api/utils/address/-%23-utils-getIcapAddress">getIcapAddress</a>.</p>

|
|
|
|
<a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--notes-safenumbers"></a><a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--BigNumber--notes-safenumbers"></a><a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/"></a><h3 class="show-anchors"><div>Why can't I just use numbers?<div class="anchors"><a class="self" href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--notes-safenumbers"></a></div></div></h3><p>The first problem many encounter when dealing with Ethereum is the concept of numbers. Most common currencies are broken down with very little granularity. For example, there are only 100 cents in a single dollar. However, there are 10<sup>18</sup> <b>wei</b> in a single <b>ether</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>JavaScript uses <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format">IEEE 754 double-precision binary floating point</a> numbers to represent numeric values. As a result, there are <i>holes</i> in the integer set after 9,007,199,254,740,991; which is problematic for <i>Ethereum</i> because that is only around 0.009 ether (in wei), which means any value over that will begin to experience rounding errors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To demonstrate how this may be an issue in your code, consider:</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="code">(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER + 2 - 2) == (Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER)
|
|
<span class="result ok">// false
|
|
</span></div><p>To remedy this, all numbers (which can be large) are stored and manipulated as <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">Big Numbers</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The functions <a href="#/v5/api/utils/display-logic/-%23-utils-parseEther">parseEther( etherString )</a> and <a href="#/v5/api/utils/display-logic/-%23-utils-formatEther">formatEther( wei )</a> can be used to convert between string representations, which are displayed to or entered by the user and Big Number representations which can have mathematical operations handled safely.</p>

<a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--why-not-bignumber-js-bn-js-bigdecimal-etc"></a><a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/"></a><h3 class="show-anchors"><div>Why not BigNumber.js, BN.js, BigDecimal, etc?<div class="anchors"><a class="self" href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--why-not-bignumber-js-bn-js-bigdecimal-etc"></a></div></div></h3><p>Everyone has their own favourite Big Number library, and once someone has choosen one, it becomes part of their identity, like their editor, vi vs emacs. There are over 100 Big Number libraries on <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=bignumber">npm</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One of the biggest differences between the Ethers <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">BigNumber</a> object and other libraries is that it is immutable, which is very important when dealing with the asynchronous nature of the blockchain.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Capturing the value is not safe in async functions, so immutability protects us from easy to make mistakes, which is not possible on the low-level library's objects which supports myriad in-place operations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Second, the Ethers <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">BigNumber</a> provides all the functionality required internally and should generally be sufficient for most developers while not exposing some of the more advanced and rare functionality. So it will be eaiser to swap out the underlying library without impacting consumers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, if <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/bn.js">BN.js</a> was exposed, someone may use the greatest-common-denominator functions, which would then be functionality the replacing library should also provide to ensure anyone depending on that functionality is not broken.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--why-bn-js"></a><a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/"></a><h3 class="show-anchors"><div>Why BN.js??<div class="anchors"><a class="self" href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--why-bn-js"></a></div></div></h3><p>The reason why <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/bn.js">BN.js</a> is used internally as the big number is because that is the library used by <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/elliptic">elliptic</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Therefore it <b>must</b> be included regardless, so we leverage that library rather than adding another Big Number library, which would mean two different libraries offering the same functionality.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This has saved about 85kb (80% of this library size) of library size over other libraries which include separate Big Number libraries for various purposes.</p>
|
|

<a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--allow-us-to-set-a-global-big-number-library"></a><a name="/v5/api/utils/bignumber/"></a><h3 class="show-anchors"><div>Allow us to set a global Big Number library?<div class="anchors"><a class="self" href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumber--BigNumber--notes--allow-us-to-set-a-global-big-number-library"></a></div></div></h3><p>Another comment that comes up frequently is tha desire to specify a global user-defined Big Number library, which all functions would return.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This becomes problematic since your code may live along side other libraries or code that use Ethers. In fact, even Ethers uses a lot of the public functions internally.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you, for example, used a library that used <code class="inline">a.plus(b)</code> instead of <code class="inline">a.add(b)</code>, this would break Ethers when it tries to compute fees internally, and other libraries likely have similar logic.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But, the <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">BigNumber</a> prototype is exposed, so you can always add a <code class="inline">toMyCustomBigNumber()</code> method to all <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">BigNumber</a>'s globally which is safe.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>For example, a Wallet may specify the balance in ether, and gas prices in gwei for the User Interface, but when sending a transaction, both must be specified in wei.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="#/v5/api/utils/display-logic/-%23-unit-conversion">parseUnits</a> will parse a string representing ether, such as <code class="inline">1.1</code> into a <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/">BigNumber</a> in wei, and is useful when a user types in a value, such as sending 1.1 ether.</p>
|
|
|

<p>The <a href="#/v5/api/utils/display-logic/-%23-unit-conversion">formatUnits</a> will format a <a href="#/v5/api/utils/bignumber/-%23-BigNumberish">BigNumberish</a> into a string, which is useful when displaying a balance.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>A signed format string begins with <code class="inline">fixed</code>, which an unsigned format string begins with <code class="inline">ufixed</code>, followed by the width (in bits) and the number of decimals.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The width must be conguent to 0 mod 8 (i.e. <code class="inline">(width % 8) == 0</code>) and no larger than 256 bits and the number of decimals must be no larger than 80.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul><li><b>fixed128x18</b> is signed, 128 bits wide and has 18 decimals; this is useful for most purposes </li><li><b>fixed32x0</b> is signed, 32 bits wide and has 0 decimals; this would be the same as a <code class="inline">int32_t</code> in C </li><li><b>ufixed32x0</b> is unsigned, 32 bits wide and has 0 decimals; this would be the same as a <code class="inline">uint32_t</code> in C </li><li><b>fixed</b> is shorthand for <code class="inline">fixed128x18</code> </li><li><b>ufixed</b> is shorthand for <code class="inline">ufixed128x18</code> </li></ul></p>

<p>For example, if a transaction was made on ropsten with an account also used on homestead, it would be possible for a transaction signed on ropsten to be executed on homestead, which is likely unintended.</p>

<p>There are situations where replay may be desired, however these are very rare and it is almost always recommended to specify the chain ID.</p>

<p>Once a program is compiled by a higher level langauge into ASM (assembly), or hand-coded directly in ASM, it needs to be assembled into bytecode.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The assembly process performs a very small set of operations and is intentionally simple and closely related to the underlying EVM bytecode.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Operations include embedding programs within programs (for example the deployment bootstrap has the runtime embedded in it) and computing the necessary offsets for jump operations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="#/v5/cli/asm/">Command-Line Assembler</a> can be used to assemble an <i>Ethers ASM Dialect</i> file or to disassemble bytecode into its human-readable (ish) opcodes and literals.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>The most common use of this is embedding a Contract <b>runtime bytecode</b> within a <b>deployment bytecode</b>, which can be used as <b>init code</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When deploying a program to Ethereum, an <b>init transaction</b> is used. An <i>init transaction</i> has a null <code class="inline">to</code> address and contains bytecode in the <code class="inline">data</code>. This <code class="inline">data</code> bytecode is a program, that when executed returns some other bytecode as a result, this restul is the bytecode to be installed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Therefore it is important that embedded code uses jumps relative to itself, not the entire program it is embedded in, which also means that a jump can <b>only</b> target its own scope, no parent or child scopes. This is enforced by the assembler.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A scope may access the offset of any child <a href="#/v5/api/other/assembly/dialect/-%23-asm-dialect-datasegment">Data Segment</a> or child <a href="#/v5/api/other/assembly/dialect/-%23-asm-dialect-scope">Scopes</a> (with respect to itself) and may access the length of any <a href="#/v5/api/other/assembly/dialect/-%23-asm-dialect-datasegment">Data Segment</a> or <a href="#/v5/api/other/assembly/dialect/-%23-asm-dialect-scope">Scopes</a> anywhere in the program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Every program in the <b>Ethers ASM Dialect</b> has a top-leve scope named <code class="inline">_</code>.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>An emtpty <b>Data Segment</b> can also be used when a labelled location is required, but without the <code class="inline">JUMPDEST</code> which a <a href="#/v5/api/other/assembly/dialect/-%23-asm-dialect-label">Labels</a> adds.</p>

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>Otherwise, a plugin is instantiated and the <code class="inline">prepareOptions</code> is called. Each plugin <b>must</b> call <code class="inline">super.prepareOptions</code>, otherwise the basic options are not yet processed. During this time a Plugin should consume all the flags and options it understands, since any left over flags or options will cause the CLI to bail and issue an <i>unknown option</i> error. This should throw if a value for a given option is invalid or some combination of options and flags is not allowed.</p>
|

|
<p>Once the prepareOptions is complete (the returned promise is resolved), the <code class="inline">prepareArguments</code> is called. This should validate the number of arguments is expected and throw and error if there are too many or too few arguments or if any arguments do not make sense.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Options require a single parameter follow them on the command line (such as <code class="inline">--account wallet.json</code>, which nhas the name <code class="inline">account</code> and the value <code class="inline">wallet.json</code>)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Arguments are all other values on the command line, and are not accessed through the <b>ArgParser</b> directly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When a CLI is run, an <b>ArgParser</b> is used to validate the command line by using prepareOptions, which consumes all flags and options leaving only the arguments behind, which are then passed into prepareArgs.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Many things are the way they are for good (at the time, at least) reasons, but I always welcome criticism, and am completely willing to have my mind changed on things.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So, pull requests are always welcome, but please keep a few points in mind:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul><li>Backwards-compatibility-breaking changes will not be accepted; they may be considered for the next major version </li><li>Security is important; adding dependencies require fairly convincing arguments as to why </li><li>The library aims to be lean, so keep an eye on the dist/ethers.min.js file size before and after your changes </li><li>Add test cases for both expected and unexpected input </li><li>Any new features need to be supported by me (future issues, documentation, testing, migration), so anything that is overly complicated or specific may not be accepted </li></ul></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general, <b>please start an issue <i>before</i> beginning a pull request</b>, so we can have a public discussion and figure out the best way to address to problem/feature. <b>:)</b></p>
