@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum

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

  • Deploy Smart-contracts through bytecode.
  • Build and sign transactions using different keystores.
  • Invoke smart-contract functions that we have deployed on the network.

Summary

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 to install the dependencies execute the command:

npm run configure

Usage

To use this import public-api and create new PluginLedgerConnectorQuorum.

  const connector: PluginLedgerConnectorQuorum = new PluginLedgerConnectorQuorum({
    instanceId: uuidV4(),
    rpcApiHttpHost,
    pluginRegistry: new PluginRegistry(),
  });

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

async invokeContract(req: InvokeContractJsonObjectV1Request):Promise<InvokeContractV1Response>;
async transact(req: RunTransactionRequest): Promise<RunTransactionResponse>;
async transactSigned(rawTransaction: string): Promise<RunTransactionResponse>;
async transactGethKeychain(txIn: RunTransactionRequest): Promise<RunTransactionResponse>;
async transactPrivateKey(req: RunTransactionRequest): Promise<RunTransactionResponse>;
async transactCactusKeychainRef(req: RunTransactionRequest):Promise<RunTransactionResponse>;
async deployContract(req: DeployContractSolidityBytecodeV1Request :Promise<DeployContractSolidityBytecodeV1Response>;
async deployContractJsonObject(req: DeployContractSolidityBytecodeJsonObjectV1Request): Promise<DeployContractSolidityBytecodeV1Response>
async invokeRawWeb3EthMethod(req: InvokeRawWeb3EthMethodV1Request): Promise<any>;
async invokeRawWeb3EthContract(req: InvokeRawWeb3EthContractV1Request): Promise<any>;

Call example to deploy a contract:

const deployOut = await connector.deployContract({
  web3SigningCredential: {
    ethAccount: firstHighNetWorthAccount,
    secret: "",
    type: Web3SigningCredentialType.GETHKEYCHAINPASSWORD,
  },
  bytecode: ContractJson.bytecode,
  gas: 1000000,
});

The field "type" can have the following values:

enum Web3SigningCredentialType {
    CACTUSKEYCHAINREF = 'CACTUS_KEYCHAIN_REF',
    GETHKEYCHAINPASSWORD = 'GETH_KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD',
    PRIVATEKEYHEX = 'PRIVATE_KEY_HEX',
    NONE = 'NONE'
}

Extensive documentation and examples in the readthedocs (WIP)

QuorumApiClient

All connector API endpoints are defined in open-api specification. You can use QuorumApiClient to call remote quorum connector functions. It also contain additional utility functions to ease integration.

REST Functions

See DefaultApi for up-to-date listing of supported endpoints.

  • deployContractSolBytecodeJsonObjectV1
  • deployContractSolBytecodeV1
  • getPrometheusMetricsV1
  • invokeContractV1
  • invokeContractV1NoKeychain
  • invokeRawWeb3EthContractV1
  • invokeRawWeb3EthMethodV1
  • runTransactionV1

Asynchronous Functions (socket.io)

  • watchBlocksV1

Send Request Methods

Both methods are deprecated, async version returns immediately while sync respond with Promise of a call results.

  • sendAsyncRequest
  • sendSyncRequest

Supported Requests

  • web3Eth: Calls invokeRawWeb3EthMethodV1
  • web3EthContract: Calls invokeRawWeb3EthContractV1

Arguments

  • The same for both async and sync methods.
  • Arguments interpretation depends on method.type (i.e. request type)
// Contract definition for web3EthContract request, ignored otherwise
contract: {
  abi?: AbiItem[],
  address?: string
},

// Request definition
method: {
  type: "web3Eth" | "web3EthContract",
  command: string // web3 method
  function?: string; // contract function
  params?: any[]; // contract parameters
}

// web3 method arguments
args: {
  {
    args?: any[] | Record<string, unknown>;
  }
},

Running the tests

To check that all has been installed correctly and that the pugin has no errors, there are two options to run the tests:

  • Run this command at the project's root:
npm run test:plugin-ledger-connector-quorum

Building/running the container image locally

In the Cactus project root say:

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

Build with a specific version of the npm package:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --build-arg NPM_PKG_VERSION=0.4.1 -f ./packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum/Dockerfile . -t cplcb

Running the container

Launch container with plugin configuration as an environment variable:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --publish 4000:4000 \
  --env AUTHORIZATION_PROTOCOL='NONE' \
  --env AUTHORIZATION_CONFIG_JSON='{}' \
  --env PLUGINS='[{"packageName": "@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum", "type": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_type.LOCAL", "action": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_action.INSTALL",  "options": {"rpcApiHttpHost": "http://localhost:8545", "instanceId": "some-unique-quorum-connector-instance-id"}}]' \
  cplcb

Launch container with plugin configuration as a CLI argument:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --publish 3000:3000 \
   --publish 4000:4000 \
  cplcb \
    ./node_modules/@hyperledger/cactus-cmd-api-server/dist/lib/main/typescript/cmd/cactus-api.js \
    --authorization-protocol='NONE' \
    --authorization-config-json='{}' \
    --plugins='[{"packageName": "@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum", "type": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_type.LOCAL", "action": "org.hyperledger.cactus.plugin_import_action.INSTALL",  "options": {"rpcApiHttpHost": "http://localhost:8545", "instanceId": "some-unique-quorum-connector-instance-id"}}]'

  --publish 3000:3000 \
  --publish 4000:4000 \
  --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/cactus.json,target=/cactus.json \
  cplcb \
    ./node_modules/@hyperledger/cactus-cmd-api-server/dist/lib/main/typescript/cmd/cactus-api.js \
    --config-file=/cactus.json

Testing API calls with the container

Don't have a quorum network on hand to test with? Test or develop against our quorum All-In-One container!

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-quorum-all-in-one:latest

Terminal Window 2 (Cactus API Server)

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

Terminal Window 3 (curl - replace eth accounts as needed)

curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/v1/plugins/@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum/run-transaction' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Prometheus Exporter

This class creates a prometheus exporter, which scrapes the transactions (total transaction count) for the use cases incorporating the use of Quorum connector plugin.

Prometheus Exporter Usage

The prometheus exporter object is initialized in the PluginLedgerConnectorQuorum class constructor itself, so instantiating the object of the PluginLedgerConnectorQuorum class, gives access to the exporter object. You can also initialize the prometheus exporter object seperately and then pass it to the IPluginLedgerConnectorQuorumOptions interface for PluginLedgerConnectoQuorum constructor.

getPrometheusMetricsV1 function returns the prometheus exporter metrics, currently displaying the total transaction count, which currently increments everytime the transact() method of the PluginLedgerConnectorQuorum class is called.

Prometheus Integration

To use Prometheus with this exporter make sure to install Prometheus main component. Once Prometheus is setup, the corresponding scrape_config needs to be added to the prometheus.yml

- job_name: 'quorum_ledger_connector_exporter'
  metrics_path: api/v1/plugins/@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum/get-prometheus-exporter-metrics
  scrape_interval: 5s
  static_configs:
    - targets: ['{host}:{port}']

Here the host:port is where the prometheus exporter metrics are exposed. The test cases (For example, packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum/src/test/typescript/integration/plugin-ledger-connector-quorum/deploy-contract/deploy-contract-from-json.test.ts) exposes it over 0.0.0.0 and a random port(). The random port can be found in the running logs of the test case and looks like (42379 in the below mentioned URL) Metrics URL: http://0.0.0.0:42379/api/v1/plugins/@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-quorum/get-prometheus-exporter-metrics

Once edited, you can start the prometheus service by referencing the above edited prometheus.yml file. On the prometheus graphical interface (defaulted to http://localhost:9090), choose Graph from the menu bar, then select the Console tab. From the Insert metric at cursor drop down, select cactus_quorum_total_tx_count and click execute

Helper code

response.type.ts

This file contains the various responses of the metrics.

data-fetcher.ts

This file contains functions encasing the logic to process the data points

metrics.ts

This file lists all the prometheus metrics and what they are used for.

Running the tests

To check that all has been installed correctly and that the pugin has no errors, there are two options to run the tests:

  • Run this command at the project's root:
npm run test:plugin-ledger-connector-quorum
