Docker smart contracts with the use of the node REST API

Description of the program logic

The section describes an example of creation and execution of a simple smart contract. The contract increments a transferred digit in every call transaction.

Python listing of the contract.py program:

import json
import os
import requests
import sys


def find_param_value(params, name):
    for param in params:
        if param['key'] == name: return param['value']
    return None


def print_success(results):
    print(json.dumps(results, separators=(',', ':')))


def print_error(message):
    print(message)
    sys.exit(3)


def get_value(contract_id):
    node = os.environ['NODE_API']
    if not node:
        print_error("Node REST API address is not defined")
    token = os.environ["API_TOKEN"]
    if not token:
        print_error("Node API token is not defined")
    headers = {'X-Contract-Api-Token': token}
    url = '{0}/internal/contracts/{1}/sum'.format(node, contract_id)
    r = requests.get(url, verify=False, timeout=2, headers=headers)
    data = r.json()
    return data['value']


if __name__ == '__main__':
    command = os.environ['COMMAND']
    if command == 'CALL':
        contract_id = json.loads(os.environ['TX'])['contractId']
        value = get_value(contract_id)
        print_success([{
            "key": "sum",
            "type": "integer",
            "value": value + 1}])
    elif command == 'CREATE':
        print_success([{
            "key": "sum",
            "type": "integer",
            "value": 0}])
    else:
        print_error("Unknown command {0}".format(command))

Description

  • The program expects to receive a json data structure with a “params” field.

  • It reads the “a” field value.

  • Finally, it returns a result as a field value “{a}+1” in json format.

Example of input parameters

"params":[
    {
        "key":"a",
        "type":"integer",
        "value":1
    }
]

Installation of a smart contract

  1. Download and install Docker for Developers for your OS.

  2. Prepare a contract image. Create following files in the stateful-increment-contract folder:

  • contract.py

  • Dockerfile

  • run.sh

Listing of the run.sh file

#!/bin/sh

python contract.py

Dockerfile listing

FROM python:alpine3.8
ADD contract.py /
ADD run.sh /
RUN chmod +x run.sh
CMD exec /bin/sh -c "trap : TERM INT; (while true; do sleep 1000; done) & wait"
  1. Install the image in the Docker registry. Perform following commands in the terminal:

docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --name registry registry:2
cd contracts/stateful-increment-contract
docker build -t stateful-increment-contract .
docker image tag stateful-increment-contract localhost:5000/stateful-increment-contract
docker start registry
docker push localhost:5000/stateful-increment-contract
  1. Для получения информации о контейнере необходимо определить идетификатор смарт-контракта посредством команды в терминале:

docker image ls|grep 'localhost:5000/stateful-increment-contract'

Затем выполнить в терминале следующую команду:

docker inspect 57c2c2d2643d

Id identifier of a smart contract is an imageHash field value for usage in transactions with a created smart contract.

  1. Sign a transaction for creation of the smart contract. In this example, a transaction is signed with a key saved in a node keystore.

Hint

In order to create a pair of key and address, the generators.jar <https://github.com/waves-enterprise/WE-releases>`_ tool is used. The procedure of key pair creation is stated in the Key pairs generating sub-section. The rules of creation of requests to the node are stated in the Node REST API section.
