web3-gear 1.0.10

An adapter between thor-restful and eth-rpc.

Web3-gear

Proxy Thor’s RESTful API to Eth JSON-RPC, to support Remix, Truffle and more (You should give priority to using Thor’s RESTful API).

Working with Thor Builtins will make Web3-Gear more usable.

Quick Start

Installation

On OS x

• Python 3.6+ support

1. Install the system-dependecies:

   brew install openssl

2. Installation of Web3-Gear and it’s dependent Python packages via PyPI:

   pip3 install web3-gear

On Window

• Python 3.6 support

1. Install Visual C++ Build Tools.

2. Install scrypt-py use the precompiled wheels.

3. Installation of Web3-Gear and it’s dependent Python packages via PyPI:

   pip3 install web3-gear

Run

Installing through pip will make the web3-gear command available on your machine (must run thor client first.):

web3-gear

This will run web3-gear on 127.0.0.1:8545.

You can change its default behavior with the following parameters:

--host

rpc service host, eg: --host 127.0.0.1

--port

rpc service port, eg: --port 8545

--endpoint

thor restful service endpoint, eg: --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8669

--keystore

keystore file path, eg: --keystore /Users/(username)/keystore), default=thor stand-alone(solo) built-in accounts

--passcode

passcode of keystore, eg: --passcode xxxxxxxx

Use Remix

Change the Remix environment to Web3 provide.

Use Truffle

• Truffle 4.0.6+ support

Modify the configuration of truffle first(truffle.js):

module.exports = {
    networks: {
        development: {
            host: "localhost",
            port: 8545,
            network_id: "*" // Match any network id
        }
    }
};

Then you can use truffle’s command line tool.

There are some projects based on truffle, can use them for testing:

• Crowdsale Contracts.

• Token Distribution.

• Solidity Idiosyncrasies.
