Fabric::Gateway
Hyperledger Fabric Gateway SDK ported to idiomatic ruby.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'fabric-gateway'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install fabric-gateway
Usage
This is a beta stage library with all the main hyperledger gateway calls implemented. Although this library has good unit test coverage, it is fairly new and has not yet been run in production environments. The library will be updated to 1.0.0 when the library has proven to be stable.
$ bin/console
# for running in application or script; not needed from bin/console
require 'fabric'
def load_certs
data_dir ='/your/certs/directory' # aka test-network/organizations
files = [
'peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/ca/ca.org1.example.com-cert.pem',

client_opts = {

contract = network.new_contract('basic')
# Evaluate
puts contract.evaluate_transaction('GetAllAssets')
# Submit
puts contract.submit_transaction('CreateAsset', ['asset13', 'yellow', '5', 'Tom', '1300'])
puts contract.submit_transaction('UpdateAsset', %w[asset999 yellow 5 Tom 5555])
# Chaincode Events - simple (blocking until deadline is reached or connection closed)
contract.chaincode_events do |event|
puts event
end
# Chaincode Events - advanced
# chaincode events are blocking and run indefinitely, so this is probably the more typical use case to give
# more control over the connection
last_processed_block = nil # store this in something persistent
op = contract.chaincode_events(start_block: last_processed_block, call_options: { return_op: true }) do |event|
last_processed_block = event.block_number # update the last_processed_block so we can resume from this point
puts event
end

puts 'We cancelled the operation outside of this thread.'
end

Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
To rebuild the proto code, run the regenerate script:
$ bin/regenerate
Effort has been made to follow the design patterns and naming convention where possible from the official Hyperledger Fabric Gateway SDK while at the same time producing an idiomatic ruby gem. Our intention is to produce a gem that would be compatible with the documentation of the official SDK while natural to use for a seasoned ruby developer.

TODO
everything
- Add license
- Add ChangeLog
- Create Gem
- Add testing & CI/CD
- Add rubocop and linting
- Add usage instructions
- Setup auto-generation of API docs on rubydoc.info
- Abstract connection and calls such that the protos aren't being interacted directly
- Implement, Document & Test Evaluate
- Implement, Document & Test Endorse
- Implement, Document & Test Submit
- Implement, Document & Test CommitStatus
- Implement, Document & Test ChaincodeEvents
- Support Submit Async (currently blocks waiting for the transaction to be committed)
- Consider adding error handling, invalid transaction proposals will result in random GRPC::FailedPrecondition type errors
- Consider adding transaction_id information to Fabric::Errors that are raised; would help a lot for debugging.
- Consider adding integration tests against blockchain; might be a ton of stuff to setup
- Implement off-line signing - https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-gateway/blob/1e4a926ddb98ec8ee969da3fc1500642ab389d01/node/src/contract.ts#L63
- Support for offline transaction signing (write scenario test for this) - https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-gateway/blob/cf78fc11a439ced7dfd2f9b55886c55c73119b25/pkg/client/offlinesign_test.go
