Access Package

The access package implements network communication with the access nodes APIs. It also defines an access.Client interface exposing all the common API interactions.

Design

Each implementation (currently grpc and http) include the following parts:

• Base Client is the client that implements the client interface exposing all generic functionality.
• Client is the network specific client that exposes any additional options possible by the specific API implementation.
• Handler takes care of actual network communication implementing the communication protocol.

Usage

If you want to use the base client you should save the instance to the client interface, which would allow you to easily switch between network implementations like so:

General Usage

// common client interface
var flowClient access.Client

// initialize an http emulator client
flowClient, err := http.NewClient(http.EmulatorHost)

// initialize a gPRC emulator client
flowClient, err = grpc.NewClient(grpc.EmulatorHost)

Transport-Specific Features

Rather than using a generic version of the HTTP or gRPC client, you instantiate a base HTTP or gRPC client to use specific features of either API format.

For example, use grpc.NewBaseClient to set custom gRPC transport credentials. instantiate the client like so:

// initialize http specific client
httpClient, err := http.NewBaseClient(http.EMULATOR_URL)

// initialize grpc specific client
grpcClient, err := grpc.NewBaseClient(
    grpc.EMULATOR_URL,
    grpcOpts.WithTransportCredentials(insecure.NewCredentials()),
)

Read more about this in the docs.

Development

Testing

The testing suite is using mock network handlers which can be generated by running the following command in the project root directory:

make generate

Overview

Package access contains an interface defining functions for the API clients.

The Access API provides a set of methods that can be used to submit transactions and read state from Flow. Clients are compatible with the Access API implemented by the Access Node role, as well as the mock Access API exposed by the Flow Emulator.
