Installation

To start using this project, simply use source code or compiled binaries, provided in our releases.

Installation as a dependency

An installation as library, basic usage guide can be found here.

Using code from master/other branches

In order to use code from master branch:

1. First, you will need to install Java v11 or higher and Maven v3.3.3 or higher:

sudo apt-install default-jdk
sudo apt-install maven

2. Then, you will have to set-up the project.

These dependencies are used by our OpenAPI Code Generator, which builds low-level API calls, needed for Aeternity Node and Aeternity Middleware.

Prerequisites

Using released versions: Ensure that you have Elixir and wget installed.

Using code from master/other branches, as mentioned before, additionally, you will have to install Java and Maven.

git clone https://github.com/aeternity/aepp-sdk-elixir
cd aepp-sdk-elixir
mix build_api v1.2.1-elixir v5.4.1 v0.13.0

Where:

• v1.2.1-elixir - OpenAPI client generator release version.
• v5.4.1 - Aeternity node API specification file.

Implemented functionality

• Client module

Consists of definition of a client structure and other helper functions. Client structure helps us collect and manage all data needed to perform various requests to the HTTP endpoints.

• Account module

Contains various functions to interact with aeternity account, e.g. getting an account, spending and etc.

• Oracle module

This module covers oracle-related activities such as: registering a new oracle, querying an oracle, responding from an oracle, extending an oracle, retrieving oracle and queries functionality.

• Contract module

Module implements functions needed to: deploy, call, compile Aeternity's Sophia smart contracts.

• Naming system module

Naming system module has many functionalities, needed to manipulate Aeternity naming system. It allows developers to: pre-claim, claim, update, transfer and revoke names.

• Channel module

Module, containing implemented and tested all channel on-chain transactions and activities. They are: getting channel info by id, opening a channel, depositing to a channel, withdrawing from a channel, closing solo and closing mutually a channel and many others.

• Noise listener module

Module, which works with enoise protocol, which is used by Aeternity. Implemented connection between peers and listening for new blocks, transactions and other stuff.

• Middleware high-level module
