This release is the stable release of EOSJS v22.1.0 and contains features, security, stability and miscellaneous fixes.

Support for Read Only Transactions

This release introduces support for the new feature of read only transactions within smart contracts. This feature provides a contract-supported method of read-only queries from external clients via HTTP-RPC. Prior to this release, access was limited to data stored in a single table in DB or KV tables via the get_table_rows or get_kv_table_rows API, a mechanism which is exacting and inefficient. Read-only queries enable developers to perform more complex, cross-table queries natively via contract code with the assurance that table data is from the same block height. It can also be used to understand the consequences of a transaction before it is sent. More information can be found here in the documentation for cleos and here in the documentation specific to eosjs.

The transaction_trace has been modified with the addition of a bill_to_accounts field, so that it is clear which account paid for cpu/net for the transaction. Additionally, in the case of a failed transaction, available traces are returned to assist in the understanding of why the transaction failed. You can find the failure traces by using the new details field in the RPCError object.

An example transaction using eosjs might look like:

await api.transact({
    actions: [{
        account: 'readonly',
        name: 'get',
        authorization: [{
            actor: 'readonly',
            permission: 'active',
        }],
        data: {},
    }],
}, {
    useLastIrreversible: true,
    expireSeconds: 30,
    readOnlyTrx: true,
    returnFailureTraces: true,
});

The above transaction calls this action that is able to retrieve entries in two tables instead of needing to run get_kv_table_rows multiple times:

[[eosio::action, eosio::read_only]]
std::vector<my_struct> get() {
   my_table_m tm{get_self()};
   my_table_f tf{get_self()};

   std::vector<my_struct> ret;
   auto itm = tm.id.begin();
   auto itm_e = tm.id.end();
   eosio::cout << "Males: \n";
   while(itm != itm_e){
      auto row = itm.value(); 
      eosio::cout << "id=" << row.id << ", name=" << row.name << ",gender=" << row.gender << ", age=" << row.age << "\n"; 
      my_struct s;
      s.id = row.id;
      s.name = row.name;
      s.gender = row.gender;
      s.age = row.age;
      ret.push_back(s);
      ++itm;
   }
   eosio::cout << "Females: \n"; 
   auto itf = tf.id.begin();
   auto itf_e = tf.id.end();
   while(itf != itf_e){
      auto row = itf.value();
      eosio::cout << "id=" << row.id << ", name=" << row.name << ",gender=" << row.gender << ", age=" << row.age << "\n"; 
      my_struct s;
      s.id = row.id;
      s.name = row.name;
      s.gender = row.gender;
      s.age = row.age;
      ret.push_back(s);
     ++itf; 
  }
  return ret;
}

Support for Resource Payer

This release introduces support for the new resource payer feature. Currently the resource costs for transactions on EOSIO-based public networks are paid by the end user of the application, which can make attracting and onboarding new users very difficult. There is a workaround available, but it’s not a straightforward process for either app developers or their end users. If configured per our reference, the additional transaction extension allows a third party to pay for a transactions net and cpu usage. The transaction must be signed by the payer. There is also the ability to limit the amount of cpu and net that the payer is willing to pay. This feature requires that the RESOURCE_PAYER protocol feature is activated. More information can be found here in the documentation for eosio.cdt and here in the documentation specific to eosjs.

Due to difference in the format of transaction_extensions in the transaction compared to other formats, transaction.abi.json has been removed and added directly into the code of eosjs-serialize.ts.

An example transaction using eosjs might look like:

await api.transact({
    resource_payer: {
        payer: 'alice',
        max_net_bytes: 4096,
        max_cpu_us: 400,
        max_memory_bytes: 0
    },
    actions: [{
        account: 'eosio.token',
        name: 'transfer',
        authorization: [{
            actor: 'bob',
            permission: 'active',
        }, {
            actor: 'alice',
            permission: 'active',
        }],
        data: {
            from: 'bob',
            to: 'alice',
            quantity: '0.0001 SYS',
            memo: 'resource payer',
        },
    }]
}, {
    useLastIrreversible: true,
    expireSeconds: 30
});

This release is the stable release of EOSJS v22.0.0 and contains features, security, stability and miscellaneous fixes. Please note that since this release promotes EOSJS v22.0.0-rc2 to v22.0.0 (stable), using the @latest tag will now automatically cause an upgrade from v21.0.x to v22.0.0.

Support for Action Return Values

This release introduces support for the new feature of return values from actions within smart contracts. More information can be found here in the documentation for eosio.cdt and here in the documentation specific to eosjs.

Additionally, an example application has been created to demonstrate how to use this new feature with nodeos and eosjs.

Support for Key Value Databases

This release introduces support for the new key value database feature. More information can be found here in the documentation for eosio.cdt and here in the documentation specific to eosjs.

Due to differences in the format of key value databases in smart contract ABIs, abi.abi.json has been removed and added directly into the code of eosjs-serialize.ts.

A new data type in EOSIO.CDT v1.8.0 called eosio::kv::map provides the underlying functionality and should be used in contracts over the type called eosio::kv::table that is currently in a developer preview state.

Additionally, an example application has been created to demonstrate how to use this new feature with nodeos and eosjs.

New Method for Constructing Actions and Transactions

A concise new method for constructing actions has been added to improve the developer experience. It is now possible to either construct an action in either a shorter syntax or construct both actions and transactions by creating a stateful TransactionBuilder object that can be passed through an application before sending when ready. The details for this concise method can be found here in the eosjs documentation.

BREAKING CHANGE: New Endpoints and Typescript Types for Nodeos API Plugins

New endpoints have been added to eosjs to match the latest versions of the api plugins. New Typescript types have been added to assist developers in better understanding what to expect from certain features or responses from the nodeos api plugins. The goal of these new types is to facilitate accurate typescript support and additional documentation for eosjs but there is the possibility of backwards incompatibility. In these situations, it is advised to override the affected types with any or a user-defined type.

Switch to elliptic cryptography library

eosjs-ecc has been replaced with the elliptic cryptographic library. The eosjs public API has been maintained; this is only a change to the internals.

Conversion Helpers To/From elliptic lib's Format

elliptic stores keys and signatures differently than eosjs-ecc. For ease of use, conversion functions have been added. These are primarily located in src/eosjs-key-conversions.ts as well as re-exported in src/eosjs-jssig.ts. Usage examples of each can be found in src/tests/eosjs-jssig.test.ts. A glimpse of the functions follows:

// Private Key from EOSIO PUB_K1_ string format to `elliptic` and back
const privEllipticKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString).toElliptic();
const finalEosioKeyAsK1String = PrivateKey.fromElliptic(privEllipticKey).toString();

// Public Key from EOSIO PUB_K1_ string format to Elliptic and back
const ellipticPubKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString).toElliptic();
const finalEosioKeyAsK1String = PublicKey.fromElliptic(ellipticPubKey).toString();

// Signature from EOS string format to `elliptic` and back
const ellipticSig = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString).toElliptic();
const finalEosioSignatureAsString = Signature.fromElliptic(ellipticSig).toString();

// Perform digest of data
digestFromSerializedData()  // wraps the construction of a digest from the data being digested

Additional Helpers with elliptic

elliptic has methods to sign, verify, and recover keys and signatures. For ease of use, helper functions that perform the conversion and operation of those methods have been added. These are added to PublicKey, PrivateKey, and Signature classes located in src/eosjs-key-conversions.ts as well as re-exported in src/eosjs-jssig.ts. Usage examples of each can be found in src/tests/eosjs-jssig.test.ts. Additionally, sha256 and generateKeyPair are available in src/eosjs-key-conversions.ts. A glimpse of the functions follows:

// Create a message digest with sha256
const digest = sha256(message);

// Generate a Key Pair with specified curve key type.  Intended for non-browser environments or development
const { publicKey, privateKey } = generateKeyPair(KeyType.k1);

// Export private key as Legacy EOSIO-format private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const legacyPrivateKey = privateKey.getLegacyString();

// Export public key as Legacy EOSIO-format public key
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const legacyPublicKey = publicKey.getLegacyString();

// Retrieve the public key from a private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const publicKey = privateKey.getPublicKey();

// Sign a message digest with private key
const digest = sha256(message); // optional, setting shouldHash to true will hash the message
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const signature = privateKey.sign(digest, false);

// Validate a private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const valid = publicKey.isValid();

// Validate a public key
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const valid = publicKey.isValid();

// Verify a signature with a message digest and public key
const digest = sha256(message); // optional, setting shouldHash to true will hash the message
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const signature = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString);
const verified = signature.verify(digest, publicKey, false);

// Recover a public key from a message digest and signature
const digest = sha256(message); // optional, setting shouldHash to true will hash the message
const signature = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString);
const publicKey = signature.recover(digest, false);

eosjs-ecc Migration Guide

In an effort to make migration easier from eosjs-ecc, a new module from eosjs-ecc-migration.ts is available that provides many of the eosjs-ecc methods. These methods are available to be used for easy migration to this new version but additionally as guides to how to convert code to use the new elliptic helper methods and new key formats. This module will be removed at a later release.

React Native Support

There was a problem using EOSJS v20 with React Native that stemmed from an eosjs-ecc dependency only being compatible with IE11, Chrome, and Safari. Now that eosjs-ecc has been removed, React Native is now fully supported in eosjs.

Context-free Actions Support

Context-free actions are now supported in eosjs.

WebAuthn Support

Read more about WebAuthn support in the EOSIO 2.0 Medium article. For technical details, see the PR.

We have updated the Tropical Example app to demonstrate a use of Webauthn.

BREAKING CHANGE: /v1/chain/get_table_rows table_key parameter deprecated

table_key has been deprecated on the chain_plugin. Replace usages of table_key with index_position and use the position of the index where 1 is your primary (first), 2 is your secondary index (in order defined by multi_index), 3 is third index, etc

BREAKING CHANGE: Minified file convention

yarn build-web command will create both debug and minified files in the dist-web location. Please use the minified *.min.js files in production and only use the debug files for development as they are over 10 times as large as the minified versions, and importing the debug versions will increase loading times for the end user.

Transaction compression and useLastIrreversible

Adding the compression argument to transaction methods will use compression for the transaction. Adding the useLastIrreversible argument to transaciton methods will use the last irreversible block number for the transaction TAPOS headers.

EOSJS v21.0.0-rc2 Release Notes

This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE for version 21.0.0. The latest STABLE release is v20.0.0.

This Release Candidate can be accessed by running yarn add eosjs@RC.

Additional Helpers with elliptic

elliptic has methods to sign, verify, and recover keys and signatures. For ease of use, helper functions that perform the conversion and operation of those methods have been added. These are added to PublicKey, PrivateKey, and Signature classes located in src/eosjs-key-conversions.ts as well as re-exported in src/eosjs-jssig.ts. Usage examples of each can be found in src/tests/eosjs-jssig.test.ts. A glimpse of the functions follows:

// Retrieve the public key from a private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const publicKey = privateKey.getPublicKey();

// Sign a message digest with private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const signature = privateKey.sign(digest);

// Validate a public key
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const valid = publicKey.validate();

// Verify a signature with a message digest and public key
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const signature = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString);
const verified = signature.verify(digest, publicKey);

// Recover a public key from a message digest and signature
const signature = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString);
const publicKey = signature.recover(digest);

table_key has been deprecated on the chain_plugin. Replace usages of table_key with index_position and use the position of the index where 1 is your primary (first), 2 is your secondary index (in order defined by multi_index), 3 is third index, etc

  • (#649) Merge pull request #649 from EOSIO/develop-version-bump
  • (#653) Sign, recover, verify, and validate functions
  • (#656) Removing latest npm deploy from Travis CI configuration
  • (#664) Zero padding Signature r-value/s-value to 32 bytes
  • (#666) Fix invalid symbol issue
  • (#670) Remove warnings
  • (#672) Readme Changes
  • (#676) Minified file convention

const digest = sha256(message);

// Generate a Key Pair with specified curve key type.  Intended for non-browser environments or development
const { publicKey, privateKey } = generateKeyPair(KeyType.k1);

// Export private key as Legacy EOSIO-format private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const legacyPrivateKey = privateKey.getLegacyString();

// Export public key as Legacy EOSIO-format public key
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const legacyPublicKey = publicKey.getLegacyString();

// Retrieve the public key from a private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const publicKey = privateKey.getPublicKey();

// Sign a message digest with private key
const digest = sha256(message); // optional, setting shouldHash to true will hash the message
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const signature = privateKey.sign(digest, false);

// Validate a private key
const privateKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString);
const valid = publicKey.isValid();

// Validate a public key
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const valid = publicKey.isValid();

// Verify a signature with a message digest and public key
const digest = sha256(message); // optional, setting shouldHash to true will hash the message
const publicKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString);
const signature = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString);
const verified = signature.verify(digest, publicKey, false);

// Recover a public key from a message digest and signature
const digest = sha256(message); // optional, setting shouldHash to true will hash the message
const signature = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString);
const publicKey = signature.recover(digest, false);

eosjs-ecc Migration Guide

In an effort to make migration easier from eosjs-ecc, a new module from eosjs-ecc-migration.ts is available that provides many of the eosjs-ecc methods. These methods are available to be used for easy migration to this new version but additionally as guides to how to convert code to use the new elliptic helper methods and new key formats. This module will be removed at a later release.

Transaction compression and useLastIrreversible

Adding the compression argument to transaction methods will use compression for the transaction. Adding the useLastIrreversible argument to transaciton methods will use the last irreversible block number for the transaction TAPOS headers.

EOSJS v21.0.0-rc1 Release Notes

This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE for version 21.0.0. The latest STABLE release is v20.0.0.

This Release Candidate can be accessed by running yarn add eosjs@RC.

Switch to elliptic cryptography library

eosjs-ecc has been replaced with the elliptic cryptographic library. The eosjs public API has been maintained; this is only a change to the internals.

Context-free Actions Support

Context-free actions are now supported in eosjs.

WebAuthn Support

Read more about WebAuthn support in the EOSIO 2.0 Medium article. For technical details, see the PR.

We have updated the Tropical Example app to demonstrate a use of Webauthn.

Conversion Helpers To/From elliptic lib's Format

elliptic stores keys and signatures differently than eosjs-ecc. For ease of use, conversion functions have been added. These are primarily located in src/eosjs-key-conversions.ts as well as re-exported in src/eosjs-jssig.ts. Usage examples of each can be found in src/tests/eosjs-jssig.test.ts. A glimpse of the functions follows:

// Private Key from EOSIO PUB_K1_ string format to `elliptic` and back
const privEllipticKey = PrivateKey.fromString(eosioK1PrivateKeyAsString).toElliptic();
const finalEosioKeyAsK1String = PrivateKey.fromElliptic(privEllipticKey).toString();

// Public Key from EOSIO PUB_K1_ string format to Elliptic and back
const ellipticPubKey = PublicKey.fromString(eosioK1PubKeyAsString).toElliptic();
const finalEosioKeyAsK1String = PublicKey.fromElliptic(ellipticPubKey).toString();

// Signature from EOS string format to `elliptic` and back
const ellipticSig = Signature.fromString(eosioSignatureAsString).toElliptic();
const finalEosioSignatureAsString = Signature.fromElliptic(ellipticSig).toString();

// Perform digest of data
digestFromSerializedData()  // wraps the construction of a digest from the data being digested
