@elenaizaguirre/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha

This plugin provides Cactus a way to interact with Iroha networks. Using this we can perform:

• Run various Iroha leger commands and queries.
• Build and sign transactions using any arbitrary credential.

Getting Started

Clone the git repository on your local machine. Follow these instructions that will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

In the root of the project, execute the command to install the dependencies:

yarn run configure

Compiling

In the project root folder, run this command to compile the plugin and create the dist directory:

# For one off builds:
yarn run build:dev:backend

# For continuous watching of the source code with 
# automatic recompilation (more convenient) 
yarn run watch

Architecture

The sequence diagrams for various endpoints are mentioned below

run-transaction-endpoint

The above diagram shows the sequence diagram of run-transaction-endpoint. User A (One of the many Users) interacts with the API Client which in turn, calls the API server. The API server then executes transact() method which is explained in detailed in the subsequent diagrams.

The above diagram shows the sequence diagram of transact() method of the PluginLedgerConnectorIroha class. The caller to this function, which in reference to the above sequence diagram is API server, sends RunTransactionRequestV1 object as an argument to the transact() method. Based on the exact command name of the request, corresponsing response RunTransactionResponse is sent back to the caller.

Usage

To use this import public-api and create new PluginFactoryLedgerConnector. Then use it to create a connector.

  const factory = new PluginFactoryLedgerConnector({
    pluginImportType: PluginImportType.Local,
  });

  const connector: PluginLedgerConnectorIroha = await factory.create({
    rpcToriiPortHost,
    instanceId: uuidv4(),
    pluginRegistry: new PluginRegistry(),
  });

You can make calls through the connector to the plugin API:

async transact(req: RunTransactionRequestV1):Promise<RunTransactionResponse>;

Call example to run an Iroha execute account command:

    const req = {
      commandName: IrohaCommand.CreateAccount,
      baseConfig: {
        irohaHost: "localhost",
        irohaPort: 50051,
        creatorAccountId: "admin@test",
        privKey: ["f101537e319568c765b2cc89698325604991dca57b9716b58016b253506cab70"],
        quorum: 1,
        timeoutLimit: 5000,
      },
    const res = await apiClient.runTransactionV1(req);

Call example to run an Iroha get account query:

    const req = {
      commandName: IrohaQuery.GetAccount,
      baseConfig: {
        irohaHost: "localhost",
        irohaPort: 50051,
        creatorAccountId: "admin@test",
        privKey: ["f101537e319568c765b2cc89698325604991dca57b9716b58016b253506cab70"],
        quorum: 1,
        timeoutLimit: 5000,
      },
      params: ["admin@test"],
    };
    const res = await apiClient.runTransactionV1(req);

Extensive documentation and examples in the readthedocs (WIP)

Building/running the container image locally

In the Cactus project root say:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -f ./packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha/Dockerfile . -t cplcb

Build with a specific version of the npm package:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --build-arg NPM_PKG_VERSION=latest -f ./packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha/Dockerfile . -t cplcb

Running the container

Launch container with plugin configuration as an environment variable:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --publish 4000:4000 \
  --publish 5000:5000 \
  --env PLUGINS='[{"packageName": "@elenaizaguirre/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha", "type": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_type.LOCAL",  "options": {"rpcApiHttpHost": "http://localhost:8545", "instanceId": "some-unique-iroha-connector-instance-id"}}]' \
  cplcb

Launch container with plugin configuration as a CLI argument:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --publish 4000:4000 \
  --publish 5000:5000 \
  cplcb \
    ./node_modules/.bin/cactusapi \
    --plugins='[{"packageName": "@elenaizaguirre/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha", "type": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_type.LOCAL",  "options": {"rpcApiHttpHost": "http://localhost:8545", "instanceId": "some-unique-iroha-connector-instance-id"}}]'

Launch container with configuration file mounted from host machine:

echo '[{"packageName": "@elenaizaguirre/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha", "type": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_type.LOCAL",  "options": {"rpcApiHttpHost": "http://localhost:8545", "instanceId": "some-unique-iroha-connector-instance-id"}}]' > cactus.json

docker run \
  --rm \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --publish 4000:4000 \
  --publish 5000:5000 \
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/cactus.json,target=/cactus.json \
  cplcb \
    ./node_modules/.bin/cactusapi \
    --config-file=/cactus.json

Testing API calls with the container

Don't have an Iroha network on hand to test with? Test or develop against our Iroha All-In-One dockerfile!

Terminal Window 1 (Ledger)

docker run -p 0.0.0.0:8545:8545/tcp  -p 0.0.0.0:8546:8546/tcp  -p 0.0.0.0:8888:8888/tcp  -p 0.0.0.0:9001:9001/tcp  -p 0.0.0.0:9545:9545/tcp hyperledger/cactus-iroha-all-in-one:latest

Terminal Window 2 (Cactus API Server)

docker run \
  --network host \
  --rm \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --publish 4000:4000 \
  --publish 5000:5000 \
  --env PLUGINS='[{"packageName": "@elenaizaguirre/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha", "type": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_type.LOCAL",  "options": {"rpcApiHttpHost": "http://localhost:8545", "instanceId": "some-unique-iroha-connector-instance-id"}}]' \
  cplcb

Terminal Window 3 (curl - replace transaction request as needed)

curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/v1/plugins/@elenaizaguirre/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-iroha/run-transaction' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  commandName: 'createAsset',
  baseConfig: {
    irohaHost: 'localhost',
    irohaPort: 50051,
    creatorAccountId: 'admin@test',
    privKey: [
      'f101537e319568c765b2cc89698325604991dca57b9716b58016b253506cab70'
    ],
    quorum: 1,
    timeoutLimit: 5000
  },
  params: [ 'coolcoin', 'test', 3]
}'

The above should produce a response that looks similar to this:

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "transactionReceipt": {
            "txHash": "c3ffd772f26950243aa357ab4f21b9703d5172490b66ddc285355230d6df60b8",
            "status": "COMMITTED"
        }
    }
}

Running the tests

To check that all has been installed correctly and that the plugin has no errors run the tests:

• Run this command at the project's root:

yarn run test:plugin-ledger-connector-iroha
