Package bchrpc implements a gRPC server.

Overview

This package provides a gRPC API which when combined with the addrindex and txindex provides a powerful API for supporting Bitcoin Cash applications. At present the API only exposes public methods for interacting with transactions and blocks. It does not expose any methods which can control the node so it is safe to expose the API publicly. To control the node continue using the JSON-RPC API.

Why gRPC?

With gRPC it is extremely easy to build well-defined, easy to reason about APIs. Frontend development changes significantly:

  • no more hunting down API documentation - .proto is the canonical format for API contracts.
  • no more hand-crafted JSON call objects - all requests and responses are strongly typed and code-generated, with hints available in the IDE.
  • no more dealing with methods, headers, body and low level networking - everything is handled by gRPC.
  • no more second-guessing the meaning of error codes - gRPC status codes are a canonical way of representing issues in APIs.
  • no more one-off server-side request handlers to avoid concurrent connections - gRPC is based on HTTP2, which multiplexes multiple streams over the same connection.
  • no more problems streaming data from a server - gRPC-Web supports both 1:1 RPCs and 1:many streaming requests.
  • no more data parse errors when rolling out new binaries - backwards and forwards-compatibility of requests and responses.

In short, gRPC moves the interaction between frontend code and the server from the sphere of hand-crafted HTTP requests to well-defined user-logic methods.

Functions

func DisableLog 

func DisableLog()

DisableLog disables all library log output. Logging output is disabled by default until either UseLogger or SetLogWriter are called.

func ServiceReady 

func ServiceReady(service string) error

ServiceReady returns nil when the service is ready and a gRPC error when not.

func UseLogger 

func UseLogger(logger bchlog.Logger)

UseLogger uses a specified Logger to output package logging info. This should be used in preference to SetLogWriter if the caller is also using btclog.

Types

type GrpcServer 

type GrpcServer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

GrpcServer is the gRPC server implementation. It holds all the objects necessary to serve the RPCs and implements the bchrpc.proto interface.

func NewGrpcServer 

func NewGrpcServer(cfg *GrpcServerConfig) *GrpcServer

NewGrpcServer returns a new GrpcServer which has not yet be started.

func (*GrpcServer) GetAddressTransactions 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetAddressTransactions(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetAddressTransactionsRequest) (*pb.GetAddressTransactionsResponse, error)

GetAddressTransactions returns the transactions for the given address. Offers offset, limit, and from block options.

**Requires AddressIndex**

func (*GrpcServer) GetAddressUnspentOutputs 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetAddressUnspentOutputs(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetAddressUnspentOutputsRequest) (*pb.GetAddressUnspentOutputsResponse, error)

GetAddressUnspentOutputs returns all the unspent transaction outputs for the given address.

**Requires AddressIndex**

func (*GrpcServer) GetBlock 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetBlock(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetBlockRequest) (*pb.GetBlockResponse, error)

GetBlock returns detailed data for a block.

func (*GrpcServer) GetBlockFilter 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetBlockFilter(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetBlockFilterRequest) (*pb.GetBlockFilterResponse, error)

GetBlockFilter returns the compact filter (cf) of a block as a Golomb-Rice encoded set.

**Requires CfIndex**

func (*GrpcServer) GetBlockInfo 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetBlockInfo(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetBlockInfoRequest) (*pb.GetBlockInfoResponse, error)

GetBlockInfo returns metadata and info for a specified block.

func (*GrpcServer) GetBlockchainInfo 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetBlockchainInfo(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetBlockchainInfoRequest) (*pb.GetBlockchainInfoResponse, error)

func (*GrpcServer) GetHeaders 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetHeaders(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetHeadersRequest) (*pb.GetHeadersResponse, error)

GetHeaders takes a block locator object and returns a batch of no more than 2000 headers. Upon parsing the block locator, if the server concludes there has been a fork, it will send headers starting at the fork point, or genesis if no blocks in the locator are in the best chain. If the locator is already at the tip no headers will be returned. see: bchd/bchrpc/documentation/wallet_operation.md

func (*GrpcServer) GetMempool added in v0.14.7 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetMempool(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetMempoolRequest) (*pb.GetMempoolResponse, error)

GetMempool returns information about all of the transactions currently in the memory pool. Offers an option to return full transactions or just transactions hashes.

func (*GrpcServer) GetMempoolInfo 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetMempoolInfo(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetMempoolInfoRequest) (*pb.GetMempoolInfoResponse, error)

GetMempoolInfo returns the state of the current mempool.

func (*GrpcServer) GetMerkleProof 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetMerkleProof(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetMerkleProofRequest) (*pb.GetMerkleProofResponse, error)

GetMerkleProof returns a Merkle (SPV) proof for a specific transaction in the provided block.

**Requires TxIndex***

func (*GrpcServer) GetRawAddressTransactions 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetRawAddressTransactions(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetRawAddressTransactionsRequest) (*pb.GetRawAddressTransactionsResponse, error)

GetRawAddressTransactions returns the raw transactions for the given address. Offers offset, limit, and from block options.

**Requires AddressIndex**

func (*GrpcServer) GetRawBlock 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetRawBlock(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetRawBlockRequest) (*pb.GetRawBlockResponse, error)

GetRawBlock returns a block in a serialized format.

func (*GrpcServer) GetRawTransaction 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetRawTransaction(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetRawTransactionRequest) (*pb.GetRawTransactionResponse, error)

GetRawTransaction returns a serialized transaction given a transaction hash.

**Requires TxIndex**

func (*GrpcServer) GetTransaction 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetTransaction(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetTransactionRequest) (*pb.GetTransactionResponse, error)

GetTransaction returns a transaction given its hash.

**Requires TxIndex**

func (*GrpcServer) GetUnspentOutput added in v0.14.7 

func (s *GrpcServer) GetUnspentOutput(ctx context.Context, req *pb.GetUnspentOutputRequest) (*pb.GetUnspentOutputResponse, error)

SubmitTransaction submits a transaction to all connected peers.

func (*GrpcServer) SubscribeBlocks 

func (s *GrpcServer) SubscribeBlocks(req *pb.SubscribeBlocksRequest, stream pb.Bchrpc_SubscribeBlocksServer) error

SubscribeBlocks creates a subscription for notifications of new blocks being connected to the blockchain or blocks being disconnected.

func (*GrpcServer) SubscribeTransactionStream 

func (s *GrpcServer) SubscribeTransactionStream(stream pb.Bchrpc_SubscribeTransactionStreamServer) error

SubscribeTransactionStream subscribes to relevant transactions based on the subscription requests. The parameters to filter transactions on can be updated by sending new SubscribeTransactionsRequest objects on the stream.

Because this RPC is using bi-directional streaming it cannot be used with grpc-web.

**Requires TxIndex to receive input metadata**

func (*GrpcServer) SubscribeTransactions 

func (s *GrpcServer) SubscribeTransactions(req *pb.SubscribeTransactionsRequest, stream pb.Bchrpc_SubscribeTransactionsServer) error

SubscribeTransactions creates subscription to all relevant transactions based on the subscription filter.

This RPC does not use bidirectional streams and therefore can be used with grpc-web. You will need to close and reopen the stream whenever you want to update the subscription filter. If you are not using grpc-web then SubscribeTransactionStream is more appropriate.

**Requires TxIndex to receive input metadata**

type GrpcServerConfig 

type GrpcServerConfig struct {
	Server     *grpc.Server

}

GrpcServerConfig hols the various objects needed by the GrpcServer to perform its functions.

type NetManager 

type NetManager interface {
	// AddRebroadcastInventory adds 'iv' to the list of inventories to be
	// rebroadcasted at random intervals until they show up in a block.
	AddRebroadcastInventory(iv *wire.InvVect, data interface{})

	// AnnounceNewTransactions generates and relays inventory vectors and notifies
	// both websocket and getblocktemplate long poll clients of the passed
	// transactions.  This function should be called whenever new transactions
	// are added to the mempool.
	AnnounceNewTransactions(txns []*mempool.TxDesc)
}

NetManager is an interface which provides functions for handling new transactions. This is used by the SubmitTransaction RPC to notify the rest of the system a new transaction needs to be handled.
