Concordium Go SDK

Getting Started

Installing

go get -v github.com/Concordium/concordium-go-sdk

Basic usage

The core structure of the SDK is the Client which maintains a connection to the node and supports querying the node and sending messages to it.

See examples in v2/examples/ for example usage.

Transaction constructor

There are two helping packets with high-level wrappers for making transactions with minimal user input. These wrappers handle encoding, setting energy costs when those are fixed for the transaction.

Construct

Functions from github.com/Concordium/concordium-go-sdk/v2/transactions/construct packet build PreAccountTransaction.

PreAccountTransaction is an AccountTransaction without signatures. To get a signed transaction you can use PreAccountTransaction.Sign(TransactionSigner) with the transmitted implementation of the TransactionSigner interface.

// TransactionSigner is an interface for signing transactions.
type TransactionSigner interface {
    // SignTransactionHash signs transaction hash and returns signatures in TransactionSignature type.
    SignTransactionHash(hashToSign *TransactionHash) (*AccountTransactionSignature, error)
}

Send

Functions from github.com/Concordium/concordium-go-sdk/v2/transactions/send packet build AccountTransaction.

AccountTransaction already has signatures, but the first parameter in constructing functions from send packet must implement the ExactSizeTransactionSigner interface.

// ExactSizeTransactionSigner describes TransactionSigner with ability to return number of signers.
type ExactSizeTransactionSigner interface {
    TransactionSigner
    // NumberOfKeys returns number of signers.
    NumberOfKeys() uint32
}

One key signature

For signature with only one private key, you can use the WalletAccount struct. To create WalletAccount with one private key just call NewWalletAccount with the account address and key pair. To create WalletAccount with one or more keys, you can add a key pair to the existing WalletAccount using the method AddKeyPair of call NewWalletAccountFromFile to read credentials from the <account_address>.export file.

Examples

Transfer transaction with transfer payload (using construct)

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"time"

	"github.com/Concordium/concordium-go-sdk/v2"
	"github.com/Concordium/concordium-go-sdk/v2/transactions/construct"
)

func main() {
	pathToExportFile := "PATH_TO_YOUR_EXPORT_FILE"
	walletAccount, err := v2.NewWalletAccountFromFile(pathToExportFile)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("couldn't create wallet account, err: %v", err)
	}

	receiver, err := v2.AccountAddressFromString("RECEIVER_ADDRESS_IN_BASE58_CHECK")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("couldn't decode receiver address, err: %v", err)
	}

	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := v2.NewClient(v2.Config{NodeAddress: "node.testnet.concordium.com:20000"})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("couldn't create node client, err: %v", err)
	}

	sequenceNumber, err := client.GetNextAccountSequenceNumber(ctx, walletAccount.Address)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to get next sender sequnce number, err: %v", err)
	}

	nonce := v2.SequenceNumber{Value: sequenceNumber.SequenceNumber.Value}
	expiry := v2.TransactionTime{Value: uint64(time.Now().Add(time.Hour).UTC().Unix())}
	amount := v2.Amount{Value: 100} // 100 micro CCD.

	preAccountTransaction := construct.Transfer(
		walletAccount.NumberOfKeys(),
		*walletAccount.Address,
		nonce,
		expiry,
		receiver,
		amount,
	)

	accountTransaction, err := preAccountTransaction.Sign(walletAccount)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("couldn't sign transction, err: %v", err)
	}

	txHash, err := accountTransaction.Send(ctx, client)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("couldn't send block item, err: %v", err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Success! Transaction hash: %s", txHash.Hex())
}

}

RPC

All RPC interfaces follow the concordium protocol docs.

More Examples

Building

To update the generated protobuf files, ensure that you have the GRPC API repository pulled down:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Then ensure that you have the prerequisite tooling installed for protobuf. First install the Protobuf compiler, then install the Go and Go GRPC protobuf plugins:

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest

Be sure to add ~/go/bin to your path, where these executables are installed.

Then, to generate the protobuf files, run the following command:

protoc --go_out=./v2 --go-grpc_out=./v2 --proto_path=concordium-grpc-api concordium-grpc-api/v2/concordium/*.proto

Now, you should be able to easily build the project:

go build ./v2
