eth-event 0.2.0

Ethereum event decoder and topic generator

eth-event

Simple tools for Ethereum event decoding and topic generation.

Installation

You can install the latest release via pip:

$ pip install eth-brownie

Or clone the repository and use setuptools for the most up-to-date version:

$ python3 setup.py install

Usage

The package includes the following functions:

• get_event_topic(event_abi): Given an event ABI, returns the 32 byte encoded topic.

>>> from eth_event import get_event_topic
>>> get_event_topic({'name': 'Approval', 'anonymous': False, 'type': 'event', 'inputs': [{'name': 'owner', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'spender', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256', 'indexed': False}]})
'0x8c5be1e5ebec7d5bd14f71427d1e84f3dd0314c0f7b2291e5b200ac8c7c3b925'

• get_topics(contract_abi): Given a contract ABI, returns a dictionary of {'event name': "encrypted topic"}.

>>> from eth_event import get_topics

>>> abi = [{'name': 'Approval', 'anonymous': False, 'type': 'event', 'inputs': [{'name': 'owner', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'spender', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256', 'indexed': False}]}, {'name': 'Transfer', 'anonymous': False, 'type': 'event', 'inputs': [{'name': 'from', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'to', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256', 'indexed': False}]}]

>>> get_topics(abi)
{'Transfer': '0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef', 'Approval': '0x8c5be1e5ebec7d5bd14f71427d1e84f3dd0314c0f7b2291e5b200ac8c7c3b925'}

• get_event_abi(contract_abi): Given a contract ABI, returns a dictionary of {'encrypted topic': "ABI"}. Useful for stripping an ABI so that only event related data remains.

>>> from eth_event import get_event_abi
>>> get_event_abi(abi)
{'0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef': {'name': 'Transfer', 'inputs': [{'name': 'from', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'to', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256', 'indexed': False}]}, '0x8c5be1e5ebec7d5bd14f71427d1e84f3dd0314c0f7b2291e5b200ac8c7c3b925': {'name': 'Approval', 'inputs': [{'name': 'owner', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'spender', 'type': 'address', 'indexed': True}, {'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256', 'indexed': False}]}}

• decode_event(event, abi): Given a single event from a transaction log and an ABI, returns the decoded event. The ABI may supplied in the normal contract format, or as a dictionary value generated by get_event_abi

>>> tx = token.transfer(account[1], 100, {'from': account[0]})
<Transaction object '0xd0b9f575747eafdce3ba6ee8d6c16146bfff35cb86bec0a1909ab04fa94fc024'>

>>> log = tx.logs[0]
>>> eth_event.decode_event(log, token.abi)
{'name': 'Transfer', 'data': [{'name': 'from', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a'}, {'name': 'to', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a', 'decoded': True}, {'name': 'tokens', 'type': 'uint256', 'value': 100, 'decoded': True}]}

>>> eth_event.decode_event(log, event_abi[log['topics'][0]])
{'name': 'Transfer', 'data': [{'name': 'from', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a'}, {'name': 'to', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a', 'decoded': True}, {'name': 'tokens', 'type': 'uint256', 'value': 100, 'decoded': True}]}

• decode_logs(logs, abi): Given an entire transaction log and an ABI, returns the decoded events. The ABI may supplied in the normal contract format, or as a dictionary value generated by get_event_abi

>>> tx = token.transfer(account[1], 100, {'from': account[0]})
<Transaction object '0x615a157e84715d5f960a38fe2a3ddb566c8393cfc71f15b06170a0eff74dfdde'>

>>> eth_event.decode_logs(tx.logs, token.abi)
[{'name': 'Transfer', 'data': [{'name': 'from', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a'}, {'name': 'to', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a', 'decoded': True}, {'name': 'tokens', 'type': 'uint256', 'value': 100, 'decoded': True}]}]

• decode_trace(trace, abi): Given the structLog from a debug_traceTransaction RPC call, returns a list of the decoded events. Useful for obtaining events when a transaction reverts.

>>> tx = token.transfer(account[1], 100, {'from': account[0]})
<Transaction object '0x71a7146996957b8a465a4e5dd41951d614254f8271fc9140b875c4fc55dde578'>

>>> trace = web3.provider.make_request("debug_traceTransaction", ['0x71a7146996957b8a465a4e5dd41951d614254f8271fc9140b875c4fc55dde578', {}])['result']['structLogs]
]
>>> eth_event.decode_trace(trace, token.abi)
[{'name': 'Transfer', 'data': [{'name': 'from', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a'}, {'name': 'to', 'type': 'address', 'value': '0xbd4940951bfa463f8fb6db762e55686f6cfdb73a', 'decoded': True}, {'name': 'tokens', 'type': 'uint256', 'value': 100, 'decoded': True}]}]

Limitations

• If an array is indexed in an event, the topic is generated as a sha3 hash and so cannot be decrypted. In this case, the unencrypted topcic is returned and decoded is set to False.

• Anonymous events cannot be decoded.

Tests
