go-ethrpc

go-ethrpc is a Go library use for interacting to the ethereum node from your server with JSON-RPC which is a standard protocol for blockchain.

This library provides the easiest way to send JSON-RPC.

Installation

Use go get to install and update.

go get github.com/KeisukeYamashita/go-ethrpc.git

Setup

You need to setup environmental variables.

Firstly, copy the .env.sample as .env

cp .env.sample .env

Setup in your .env.

GETH_ENDPOINT: NODE_ENDPOINT

Usage and Example

This shows you that easiest request to the node which is getting the infos.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  ethrpc "github.com/KeisukeYamashita/go-ethrpc"
  )

func main() {
	c := NewRPCClient(os.Getenv("ETHD_ENDPOINT"))
	address := "0x809826cceAb68c387726af962713b64Cb5Cb3CCA"
	balance := c.GetBalance(address)
	fmt.Print(balance) // 0.13514 ETH
}

Equal curl command

curl -X "POST" "<YOUR_GETH_NODE>" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
     -d $'{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "method": "getbalance",
  "id": "1",
  "params": [
    "0x809826cceAb68c387726af962713b64Cb5Cb3CCA"
  ]
}'

It'll return a JSON.

Available Methods

method	discription
eth_blockNumber	gets the most recent block height.

Run tests

Set up your environmental valiables in .env to conduct this test.

cp .env.sample .env

Then write in your endpoint in this file.

Finally run your test. It will pass if your ethereum node is setted up correctly.

GO_ENV=test go test ethrpc
