web3-gear 1.0.4

An adapter between thor-restful and eth-rpc.

Web3-gear

Give thor a RPC-API like Ethereum, now it’s mainly to be able to use Remix & Truffle on Thor.

Working with builtin-contracts will make Web3-Gear more usable.

Installation on OS X

First install the system-dependecies for a successful build of secp256k1-py:

brew install automake libtool pkg-config libffi gmp openssl

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

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.
