Dcrrpcclient

Build Status ISC License GoDoc

dcrrpcclient implements a Websocket-enabled Decred JSON-RPC client package written in Go. It provides a robust and easy to use client for interfacing with a Decred RPC server that uses a dcrd/bitcoin core-like compatible Decred JSON-RPC API.

Status

This package is currently under active development. It is already stable and the infrastructure is complete. However, there are still several RPCs left to implement and the API is not stable yet.

Documentation

  • API Reference
  • dcrd Websockets Example
    Connects to a dcrd RPC server using TLS-secured websockets, registers for block connected and block disconnected notifications, and gets the current block count
  • dcrwallet Websockets Example
    Connects to a dcrwallet RPC server using TLS-secured websockets, registers for notifications about changes to account balances, and gets a list of unspent transaction outputs (utxos) the wallet can sign

Major Features

  • Supports Websockets (dcrd/dcrwallet) and HTTP POST mode (bitcoin core-like)
  • Provides callback and registration functions for dcrd/dcrwallet notifications
  • Supports dcrd extensions
  • Translates to and from higher-level and easier to use Go types
  • Offers a synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous API
  • When running in Websockets mode (the default):
    • Automatic reconnect handling (can be disabled)
    • Outstanding commands are automatically reissued
    • Registered notifications are automatically reregistered
    • Back-off support on reconnect attempts

Installation

$ go get -u github.com/decred/dcrrpcclient

Docker

All tests and linters may be run in a docker container using the script run_tests.sh. This script defaults to using the current supported version of go. You can run it with the major version of go you would like to use as the only arguement to test a previous on a previous version of go (generally decred supports the current version of go and the previous one).

./run_tests.sh 1.7

To run the tests locally without docker:

./run_tests.sh local
