Etherid-js NPM

etherid-js

Javascript API for EtherID

Installation

In Node.js through npm

$ npm install etherid-js

In the Browser through browserify

Same as in Node.js, you just have to browserify the code before serving it.

In the Browser through `<script>` tag

Make the etherid.min.js available through your server and load it using a normal <script> tag, then you can require('etherid'). See the Demo HTML

##Usage

Initialization of the Web3

The Web3 object is needed. This is the proper way to init it, so it will work in the Mist browser.

if(typeof web3 === 'undefined')
{
    Web3 = require('web3');
    web3 = new Web3();            
}

if( web3.currentProvider == null )
    web3.setProvider( new web3.providers.HttpProvider( ) );

Initialization of the EtherID object

var etherid = require('etherid')

Getting total number of registered domains

EID.getNumberOfDomains( web3, function( error, result ) {
    document.getElementById( "n_domains" ).innerHTML = result
})

Returns total number of registered domains

Reading the domain record

To read the domain record you call:

etherid.getDomain( web3, {DOMAIN_NAME} )

{DOMAIN_NAME} can be a BigNumber, string or hex ( "0xNNNN.." )

The call returns a struct:

{
    domain      // Domain name (as BigNumber)
    owner       // Address of the domain owner
    expires     // The Ethereum Blockchin block number of expiration
    price       // Selling Price if any
    transfer    // The address for the domain transer
    next_domain // Next domain name in the linked list
    root_id     // First ID if any
    domainStr   // UTF domain name
    domainHex   // HEX domain name    
}

Example:

domain = EID.getDomain( web3, "test", function( error, domain ) {
    if( !error ) {
        document.getElementById( "expires" ).innerHTML = domain.expires
        document.getElementById( "owner" ).innerHTML = web3.toHex( domain.owner )
        document.getElementById( "price" ).innerHTML = domain.price
        document.getElementById( "transfer" ).innerHTML = web3.toHex( domain.transfer )
        document.getElementById( "next" ).innerHTML = web3.toHex( domain.next_domain )
        document.getElementById( "root_id" ).innerHTML = web3.toHex( domain.root_id )
    }
});

Reading the domain ID

etherid.getId( web3, {DOMAIN_NAME}, {ID} )

Both {DOMAIN_NAME} and {ID} can be a BigNumber, string or hex ( "0xNNNN.." )

The call returns a struct:

{
    name        // ID Name
    nameStr     // ID UTF name
    nameHex     // ID HEX name
    
    value       // Value
    valueInt    // Value as Number
    valueHex    // Value as HEX
    valueStr    // Value as UTF
            
    next_id     // Next ID in the linked list
    prev_id     // Previous ID in the linked list
}

Example:

EID.getId( web3, "test", "test_number", function( error, id ) {
    if( !error ) 
        document.getElementById( "test_int" ).innerHTML = id.valueInt
});

EID.getId( web3, "test", "test_text", function( error, id ) {
    if( !error ) document.getElementById( "test_text" ).innerHTML = id.valueStr
});

EID.getId( web3, "test", "test_ipfs", function( error, id ) {
    if( !error ) document.getElementById( "test_ipfs" ).innerHTML = id.valueHash
});

Event handler

You can setup a handler that will be called everytime someone changes a domain.

etherid.watch( web3, function( error, result ) {
    document.getElementById( "n_domains" ).innerHTML = EID.getNumberOfDomains( web3 )
})

Enumerating domains

You can list all the registered domains by using getDomainEnum and getNextDomain

DomainEnumerator = etherid.getDomainEnum( web3 )

d = EID.getNextDomain( web3, DomainEnumerator )

while ( d ) {
    document.getElementById( "list_domains" ).innerHTML = "domain #:" + DomainEnumerator.n + " " + d.domainStr
    d = EID.getNextDomain( web3, DomainEnumerator )
}

NOTE: The enumerator properly treats the domain with name 0x0 registered in the system. If you implement the loop yourself, do not forget that first 0x0 domain you get is the real domain, and the second is in fact the end of the list.

Enumerating ID's

You can list all the domain ID's by using getIdEnum and getNextId

IdEnumerator = etherid.getIdEnum( web3, "test" )

id = EID.getNextId( web3, IdEnumerator )

while ( id ) {
    document.getElementById( "list_domains" ).innerHTML = "ID #:" + Id.n + " " + id.nameStr
    id = EID.getNextId( web3, IdEnumerator )
}

NOTE: The enumerator properly treats the ID with name 0x0 registered in the system. If you implement the loop yourself, do not forget that first 0x0 ID you get might be the real ID, and the second is in fact the end of the list. You should check if the 0x0 ID has value.

Changing domain

To cahnge the domain record call:

EID.changeDomain( web3, {ADDRESS_TO USE}, {DOMAIN}, {EXPIRATION}, {PRICE}, TRANSFER}, callback )

Example:

function onProlong()
{
    document.getElementById( "prolong_status" ).innerHTML = "Reading domain..."
    
    
    domain = EID.getDomain( web3, "test", function( error, domain ) {
        if( !error ) {
            document.getElementById( "prolong_status" ).innerHTML = "Channging..."
            EID.changeDomain( web3, domain.owner, "test", 2000000, 0, 0, function( error, domain ) {
                if( !error ) {
                    document.getElementById( "prolong_status" ).innerHTML = "Transaction completed"
                }
                else
                {
                    document.getElementById( "prolong_status" ).innerHTML = error
                }
            });    
        }
        else { document.getElementById( "prolong_status" ).innerHTML = error }
    });    
}

Changing ID

To cahnge the domain ID call:

EID.changeId( web3, {ADDRESS_TO USE}, {DOMAIN}, {ID}, {VALUE} callback )

Example:

function onChangeId()
{
    document.getElementById( "change_id_status" ).innerHTML = "Reading domain..."
    
    
    domain = EID.getDomain( web3, "test", function( error, domain ) {
        if( !error ) {
            document.getElementById( "change_id_status" ).innerHTML = "Channging..."
            EID.changeId( web3, domain.owner, "test", "time", new Date().getTime(), function( error, domain ) {
                if( !error ) {
                    document.getElementById( "change_id_status" ).innerHTML = "Transaction completed"
                }
                else
                {
                    document.getElementById( "change_id_status" ).innerHTML = error
                }
            });    
        }
        else { document.getElementById( "change_id_status" ).innerHTML = error }
    });    
}
