Ethereum for Ruby

GitHub Workflow Status GitHub release (latest by date) Gem Gem Visitors codecov Maintainability Top Language Yard Doc API Usage Wiki Open-Source License Contributions Welcome

A straightforward library to build, sign, and broadcast Ethereum transactions. It allows the separation of key and node management. Sign transactions and handle keys anywhere you can run Ruby and broadcast transactions through any local or remote node. Sign messages and recover signatures for authentication.

What you get:

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "eth"

Or install it yourself as:

gem install eth

Usage

Check out the Yard API Docs and the Usage Wiki for all the details and example snippets.

Documentation

The documentation can be found at: https://q9f.github.io/eth.rb

For any specific version, docs can be generated by yard:

gem install bundler rdoc yard
git checkout $VERSION
yard doc

The goal is to have 100% API documentation available.

Testing

The test suite expects working local HTTP and IPC endpoints with a prefunded developer account, e.g.:

geth --dev --http --ipcpath /tmp/geth.ipc &

It also expects an $INFURA_TOKEN in environment to test some ENS queries on mainnet.

To run tests, simply use rspec. Note, that the Ethereum test fixtures are also required.

git submodule update --init --recursive
bundle install
rspec

The goal is to have 100% specification coverage for all code inside this gem.
