SubstrateClient

Deprecated, the client was merged into https://github.com/itering/scale.rb

This is a library of interfaces for communicating with Substrate nodes. It provides application developers the ability to query a node and interact with the Substrate chains using Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'substrate_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install substrate_client

Usage

Supported rpc methods

require "substrate_client"

client = SubstrateClient.new("wss://kusama-rpc.polkadot.io/")
client.methods

returns like:

[
	"account_nextIndex",
  "author_hasKey",
  ...
	"chain_getBlock",
	"chain_getBlockHash",
	...
]

The rpc methods can be dynamically called by its name, so you can call it like:

client.chain_getBlockHash(1024)

Wrap methods

These methods will encode the parameters and decode the returned data

  • get_block_number(block_hash)

  • get_metadata(block_hash)

  • get_block(block_hash=nil)

  • get_block_events(block_hash)

  • get_storage(module_name, storage_name, params = nil, block_hash = nil)

    client.get_storage("Balances", "TotalIssuance", nil, nil)
    client.get_storage("System", "Account", ["0xd43593c715fdd31c61141abd04a99fd6822c8558854ccde39a5684e7a56da27d"], nil)
    client.get_storage("ImOnline", "AuthoredBlocks", [2818, "0x749ddc93a65dfec3af27cc7478212cb7d4b0c0357fef35a0163966ab5333b757"], nil) 
  • compose_call(module_name, call_name, params, block_hash=nil)

    client.compose_call "Balances", "Transfer", { dest: "0x586cb27c291c813ce74e86a60dad270609abf2fc8bee107e44a80ac00225c409", value: 1_000_000_000_000 }, nil

Docker

  1. update to latest image

    docker pull itering/substrate_client:latest

  2. Run image:

    docker run -it itering/substrate_client:latest

    This will enter the container with a linux shell opened.

    /usr/src/app # 
  3. Type rspec to run all tests

    /usr/src/app # rspec

    5 examples, 0 failures
  4. Or, type ./bin/console to enter the ruby interactive environment and run any decode or encode code

    /usr/src/app # ./bin/console
    [1] pry(main)> client = SubstrateClient.new("wss://kusama-rpc.polkadot.io/")
    => #<SubstrateClient:0x000055a78f124f58 ...
    [2] pry(main)> client.methods
    => ...
    [3] pry(main)> client.chain_getHead
    => "0xb3c3a220d4639b7c62f179f534b3a66336a115ebc18f13db053f0c57437c45fc"

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.
