Web3 provider

Web3 Provider

Authereum is available as a Web3 provider.

Initialize the Authereum SDK and pass the provider to Web3:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')

const provider = authereum.getProvider()
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

Alternatively, the Authereum provider can be initialized directly.

import { AuthereumProvider } from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const provider = new AuthereumProvider('kovan')
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

Switch Networks

To switch networks, the provider will need to be reinitialized with the network name:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const networkName = 'rinkeby'
const authereum = new Authereum(networkName)

const provider = authereum.getProvider()
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

MetaMask and Web3 Browsers

Use web3 injected provider is available or use Authereum's web3 provider:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

let web3 

if (window.ethereum) {
    web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum)
} else if (window.web3) {
    web3 = new Web3(window.web3.currentProvider)
} else {
    const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
    web3 = new Web3(authereum.getProvider())
}

const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts()
console.log(accounts[0])

Using Script Tags

Using Web3 and Authereum libraries from CDNs and injecting web3 and the provider into the global window object:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/[email protected]/dist/web3.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/authereum@latest/authereum.js"></script>
<script>
  const authereum = new Authereum('mainnet')
  const provider = authereum.getProvider()
  
  window.ethereum = provider
  window.web3 = new Web3(provider)
</script>

Provider Options

See the Authereum SDK guide to see the options available.

Examples

Logging in

Call the enable method on the provider to login:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
const provider = authereum.getProvider()
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

await provider.enable()

// Alternatively
// await web3.currentProvider.enable()

Logging out

Call the disable method on the provider to logout:

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
const provider = authereum.getProvider()
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

await provider.disable()

// Alternatively
// await web3.currentProvider.disable()

Is Connected

Check if user is connected to dapp.

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
const provider = authereum.getProvider()
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

const isConnected = provider.isConnected()

console.log(isConnected)

Get Accounts

Get connected account address:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
const web3 = new Web3(authereum.getProvider())

const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts()
console.log(accounts[0])

// Alternatively
// const account = await web3.eth.getCoinbase()
// console.log(account)

Get Balance

Reading the account ETH balance:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
const web3 = new Web3(authereum.getProvider())

const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts()
const balance = await web3.eth.getBalance(accounts[0])
console.log(balance)

Detecting Authereum web3 provider

Example of how to check if web3 provider is an Authereum provider:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const authereum = new Authereum('kovan')
const provider = authereum.getProvider()

console.log(provider.isAuthereum)

// Alternatively
// console.log(web3.currentProvider.isAuthereum)

     value: 'alice'
   },
   {
     type: 'uint32',
     name: 'userId',
     value: '12345'
   }
 ]


const params = [payload, from]
const method = 'eth_signTypedData'

provider.sendAsync({
  id: 1,
  method,
  params,
  from
}, (error, res) => {
  if (error) throw error
  console.log(res.result)
})

ERC721: Safe Transfer From

Example of how to do a NFT safe transfer from call:

import Authereum from 'authereum'
import Web3 from 'web3'

const authereum = new Authereum('mainnet')
const provider = authereum.getProvider()
const web3 = new Web3(provider)

const abi = [{
    "constant": false,
    "inputs": [
        {
            "name": "from",
            "type": "address"
        },
        {
            "name": "to",
            "type": "address"
        },
        {
            "name": "tokenId",
            "type": "uint256"
        }
    ],
    "name": "transferFrom",
    "outputs": [],
    "payable": false,
    "stateMutability": "nonpayable",
    "type": "function"
}]

const token = '0x6EbeAf8e8E946F0716E6533A6f2cefc83f60e8Ab'
const instance = await new web3.eth.Contract(abi, token)

const from = (await web3.eth.getAccounts())[0]
const to = '0x22d491Bde2303f2f43325b2108D26f1eAbA1e32b'
const tokenId = '580767'
const data = '0x00'
const { transactionHash } = await instance.methods.safeTransferFrom(from, to, tokenId, data).send({ from })

console.log(transactionHash)
