qv-steem-beneficiaries

Quasar Vue component for managing Steem beneficiaries

This Quasar based Vue component will allow your users to add and remove beneficiaries before submitting a new post on the Steem blockchain.

This component was originally developed by @irelandscape for StemQ, a question and answer dapp similar to Quora dedicated to Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and rewarding contributors with Steem cryptocurrency.

Component in action

The component provides a button for managing beneficiaries: Screenshot-from-2019-01-30-20-29-44.png Once clicked, the button opens a dialog (QDialog) which allows the user to input beneficiary usernames and amounts expressed in percentage (in 5% steps): Screenshot-from-2019-01-21-20-18-49.png

The component stores the information in a json string suitable for insertion into a Steem broadcast operation (see below).

Usage

Install the component into your Node.js project:

npm install qv-steem-beneficiaries

In your component, import the Beneficiaries component as follows:

import Beneficiaries from 'qv-steem-beneficiaries'

Insert the component into your template and bind a data variable using v-model:

<template> 
...
    <beneficiaries
      v-model="beneficiaries"
      buttonColor="secondary"
      knobColor="secondary"
      dialogButtonsColor="secondary"
    />
...
</template>

The beneficiaries data can then be inserted into your broadcast operation as follows:

<script>
...
      let operations = []
      const params = {
        parent_author: ...,
        parent_permlink: ...
        ...
      }
      operations.push(['comment', params])

      let commentOptionsConfig = {
        ...
        extensions: []
      }
      if (this.beneficiaries.length) {
        commentOptionsConfig.extensions.push([
          0,
          {
            beneficiaries: this.beneficiaries
          }
        ])
      }
      operations.push(['comment_options', commentOptionsConfig])
      vue.$store.getters['steem/client'].broadcast(operations).then(() => {
      ...
      }
...
</script>
