Usage

Installation

This package is available as a NPM package.

# npm
npm install @bladelabs/blade-web3.js

# yarn
yarn add @bladelabs/blade-web3.js

Minimum Hashgraph SDK version 2.16 is needed for this library to work

# npm
npm install -S @hashgraph/sdk@^2.16

# yarn
yarn add @hashgraph/sdk@^2.16

Also, it is recommended to look through the Hedera documentation.

Initialization

To interact with the Blade Extension programmatically, instantiate a BladeConnector object.

It is possible to pass a preferred pairing strategy. By default (ConnectorStrategy.AUTO), the pairing is handled as follows:

• If there is Blade Wallet extension, a wallet user will be asked to select needed accounts;
• If there is no Blade Wallet extension, a QR code modal will be shown.

If preferred strategy is extension strategy (ConnectorStrategy.EXTENSION), the library will throw the error, if the extension was not detected.

If preferred strategy is WalletConnect strategy (ConnectorStrategy.WALLET_CONNECT), only the QR code modal will be used.

Implementation example:

import {BladeConnector, ConnectorStrategy} from '@bladelabs/blade-web3.js';

const bladeConnector = await BladeConnector.init(
  ConnectorStrategy.WALLET_CONNECT, // preferred strategy is optional 
  { // dApp metadata options are optional, but are highly recommended to use
    name: "Awesome DApp",
    description: "DApp description",
    url: "https://awesome-dapp.io/",
    icons: ["some-image-url.png"]
  }
);

Pairing

Implementation example:

import {HederaNetwork} from '@bladelabs/blade-web3.js';

// params are optional, and Mainnet is used as a default
const params = {
  network: HederaNetwork.Mainnet,
  dAppCode: "SomeAwesomeDApp" // optional while testing, request specific one by contacting us
}

const pairedAccountIds = await bladeConnector.createSession(params);
// retrieving the first available signer to perform all the Hedera operations
const bladeSigner = await bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];

Disconnecting

To disconnect the session, call .killSession() method.

Implementation example:

await bladeConnector.killSession();

Handshake

Wallet handshake allows to generate an authentication signature for use on a backend side. It may be useful, when it is important for a backend to make sure, that client user surely has access to a wallet.

Workflow:

1. Client requests backend for payload to sign, and data to sign with;
2. Client performs handshake;
3. Client sends handshake result to backend;
4. Backend checks signatures.

Implementation example:

// client side
const {signingData, payload} = await fetch('https://domain.com/get-payload').then(res => res.json());

const handshakeResult = await bladeSigner.handshake(
  signingData.serverSigningAccount,
  signingData.serverSignature,
  payload
);

await fetch('http://localhost:8443/get-handshake', {
  method: 'POST',
  mode: 'cors',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(handshakeResult)
});

// backend side (Node.js + express)
const config = {
  clientHost: "some-host-url",
  serverAccountId: "0.0.8281",
  serverPrivateKey: PrivateKey.fromString("3030020100300706052b8104000a042204209c1878c421d7d0c8c460a23db1dad4274b52803ed4bae338eba2c539eb75ca3c")
};

const app = express();

// ... server configuration

app.get('/get-payload', (req, res) => {
  const payload = {
    url: config.clientHost,
    data: {
      token: "fufhr9e84hf9w8fehw9e8fhwo9e8fw938fw3o98fhjw3of"
    }
  };

  const bytes = new Uint8Array(Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(payload)));
  const signature = Buffer.from(config.serverPrivateKey.sign(bytes)).toString('hex');

  const signingData = {
    serverSignature: signature,
    serverSigningAccount: config.serverAccountId
  };

  res.send({signingData, payload});
});

app.post('/get-handshake', async (req, res) => {
  const {originalPayload, serverSignature, userSignature} = req.body;

  const publicKey = config.serverPrivateKey.publicKey;
  const url = "https://testnet.mirrornode.hedera.com/api/v1/accounts/" + userSignature.accountId;
  const accountInfoResponse = await fetch(url, {method: "GET"});

  if (accountInfoResponse.ok) {
    const data = await accountInfoResponse.json();

    const serverSigBuffer = Buffer.from(serverSignature.signature, 'hex');
    const userSigBuffer = Buffer.from(userSignature.signature, 'hex');

    const signedPayload = {
      serverSignature: serverSignature.signature,
      originalPayload
    };

    const serverKeyVerified = verifyData(originalPayload, publicKey.toString(), serverSigBuffer)
    const userKeyVerified = verifyData(signedPayload, data.key.key, userSigBuffer)

    if (serverKeyVerified && userKeyVerified) {
      // successfully authenticated
    } else {
      // failed to authenticate  
    }
  } else {
    // failed to authenticate 
  }
});

const verifyData = (data, publicKey, signature) => {
  const pubKey = PublicKey.fromString(publicKey);
  const bytes = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(data));
  return pubKey.verify(bytes, signature);
}

Accounts

Get account ID

To get an account ID, use .getAccountId() method on the needed signer.

Implementation example:

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];
const accountId = bladeSigner.getAccountId();

Get account info

To get detailed info about account, use .getAccountInfo() method on the needed signer.

Implementation example:

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];
const accountInfo = bladeSigner.getAccountInfo();

Get account balances

To get info about all the balances of an account, use .getAccountBalance() method on the needed signer.

Implementation example:

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];
const balances = bladeSigner.getAccountBalance();

Transactions

Signing

For signing to be successful, transaction should be actually signed and executed. Some transaction types require premature populating — e.g. TransferTransaction, TokenCreateTransaction etc. There are multiple ways to populate and execute transaction. To execute a transaction, you can use the .call() method, but it is also possible to call the .executeWithSigner() on a transaction itself.

First approach:

import {TransferTransaction} from '@hashgraph/sdk';

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];

const amount = 5;

const transaction = new TransferTransaction()
  .addHbarTransfer(destinationAccountId, amount)
  .addHbarTransfer(bladeSigner.getAccountId(), -amount);

// populate adds transaction ID and node IDs to the transaction
const populatedTransaction = await bladeSigner.populateTransaction(transaction);
const signedTransaction = await bladeSigner.signTransaction(transaction.freeze());

// call executes the transaction
const result = await bladeSigner.call(signedTransaction);
// or
const result = await signedTransaction.executeWithSigner(bladeSigner);

Second approach:

import {TransferTransaction, AccountId} from '@hashgraph/sdk';

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];

const amount = 5;

const transaction = await new TransferTransaction()
  .addHbarTransfer(destinationAccountId, amount)
  .addHbarTransfer(bladeSigner.getAccountId(), -amount)
  .setTransactionId(TransactionId.generate(bladeSigner.getAccountId()))
  .setNodeAccountIds([new AccountId(3)])
  .freeze();

const signedTransaction = await bladeSigner.signTransaction(transaction);

const result = await bladeSigner.call(signedTransaction);
// or
const result = await signedTransaction.executeWithSigner(bladeSigner);

Third approach:

import {TransferTransaction} from '@hashgraph/sdk';

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];

const amount = 5;

const transaction = await new TransferTransaction()
  .addHbarTransfer(destinationAccountId, amount)
  .addHbarTransfer(bladeSigner.getAccountId(), -amount)
  .freezeWithSigner(bladeSigner); // adds transaction ID and node IDs to the transaction as well

const signedTransaction = await bladeSigner.signTransaction(transaction);

const result = await bladeSigner.call(signedTransaction);
// or
const result = await signedTransaction.executeWithSigner(bladeSigner);

Getting a receipt

It is possible to get a receipt for any executed transaction withing the current network.

Implementation example:

import {TransactionReceiptQuery} from '@hashgraph/sdk';

const transactionId = "some-tx-id";

const bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];
const result = await bladeSigner.call(new TransactionReceiptQuery({
  transactionId
}));

Validation

If there is a need to check transaction validity, .checkTransaction() method may be useful for that. It checks if node accounts are valid for the current network, and if transaction composed with the account signer, which this method is called on.

Implementation example:

import {TransferTransaction} from '@hashgraph/sdk';

let bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[0];

const amount = 5;

const transaction = await new TransferTransaction()
  .addHbarTransfer(destinationAccountId, amount)
  .addHbarTransfer(bladeSigner.getAccountId(), -amount)
  .freezeWithSigner(bladeSigner);

bladeSigner = bladeConnector.getSigners()[1]; // using different account

try {
  await bladeSigner.checkTransaction(transaction); 
} catch (e) {
  // transaction is not valid
}
