A highly optimised, light-weight JS utility for Ethereum based on web3.js
, but lighter, async only and using BN.js
.
Only 103 kB minified!
npm install --save ethjs
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/ethjs.min.js"></script>
Note, exports to window.Eth
global.
const Eth = require('ethjs');
const eth = new Eth(new Eth.HttpProvider('https://ropsten.infura.io'));
eth.getBlockByNumber(45300, true, (err, block) => {
// result null { ...block data... }
});
const etherValue = Eth.toWei(72, 'ether');
// result <BN: 3e733628714200000>
const tokenABI = [{
"constant": true,
"inputs": [],
"name": "totalSupply",
"outputs":[{"name": "","type": "uint256"}],
"payable": false,
"type": "function",
}];
const token = eth.contract(tokenABI).at('0x6e0E0e02377Bc1d90E8a7c21f12BA385C2C35f78');
token.totalSupply().then((totalSupply) => {
// result <BN ...> 4500000
});
A simple module for building dApps and applications that use Ethereum.
Please see our complete user-guide
for more information.
Please help better the ecosystem by submitting issues and pull requests to ethjs
. We need all the help we can get to build the absolute best linting standards and utilities. We follow the AirBNB linting standard and the unix philosophy.
You'll find more detailed information on using ethjs
and tailoring it to your needs in our guides:
- User guide - Usage, configuration, FAQ and complementary tools.
- Developer guide - Contributing to
ethjs
and writing your own code and coverage. - Examples - Examples of
ethjs
in use.
There is always a lot of work to do, and will have many rules to maintain. So please help out in any way that you can:
- Create, enhance, and debug ethjs rules (see our guide to "Working on rules").
- Improve documentation.
- Chime in on any open issue or pull request.
- Open new issues about your ideas for making
ethjs
better, and pull requests to show us how your idea works. - Add new tests to absolutely anything.
- Create or contribute to ecosystem tools.
- Spread the word!
Please consult our Code of Conduct docs before helping out.
We communicate via issues and pull requests.
We would like to mention that we are not in any way affiliated with the Ethereum Foundation. However, we love the work they do and work with them often to make Ethereum great! Our aim is to support the Ethereum ecosystem with a policy of diversity, modularity, simplicity, transparency, clarity, optimization and extensibility.
Many of our modules use code from web3.js
and the ethereumjs-
repositories. We thank the authors where we can in the relevant repositories.
