# SolanaRuby `SolanaRuby` is a lightweight Ruby client for interacting with the Solana blockchain through its JSON-RPC API. It allows developers to perform various queries on the Solana network such as fetching solana balance, acccount information, and more. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'solana-ruby-web3js' ``` And then execute: $ bundle install Or install it yourself as: $ gem install solana-ruby-web3js ## Usage To start using the Solana RPC client, initialize it with or without the RPC URL. The default URL points to the Solana Mainnet. If you wish to connect to another network like Devnet or Testnet, you can specify the URL. require 'solana_ruby' # Initialize the client (defaults to Mainnet(https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com)) client = SolanaRuby::HttpClient.new() # Optionally, provide a custom RPC URL # client = SolanaRuby::HttpClient.new("https://api.devnet.solana.com") ### Fetch Solana Account Balance Once the client is initialized, you can make API calls to the Solana network. For example, to get the solana balance of a given account: # Replace 'pubkey' with the actual public key of the solana account pubkey = 'Fg6PaFpoGXkYsidMpWxTWqSKJf6KJkUxX92cnv7WMd2J' result = client.get_balance(pubkey) puts result ### Fetch Parsed Account Info # Replace 'pubkey' with the actual public key of the account pubkey = 'Fg6PaFpoGXkYsidMpWxTWqSKJf6KJkUxX92cnv7WMd2J' # Example of options that can be passed: options = { commitment: 'finalized', # Specifies the level of commitment for querying state (e.g., 'finalized', 'confirmed', 'processed') encoding: 'jsonParsed' # Specifies the encoding format (e.g., 'jsonParsed', 'base64', etc.) } result = client.get_parsed_account_info(pubkey, options) puts result ### More Information on Solana Methods For a more detailed overview of Solana's available RPC methods, visit the official documentation: - [Solana HTTP RPC Methods](https://solana.com/docs/rpc/http) - [Solana WebSocket RPC Methods](https://solana.com/docs/rpc/websocket) - [Solana web3.js Connection Methods](https://solana-labs.github.io/solana-web3.js/classes/Connection.html) ### Options Parameter The options parameter is a hash that can include the following fields and more, allowing for customized responses: - **commitment**: Specifies the level of commitment desired when querying state. Options include: - 'finalized': Query the most recent block confirmed by supermajority of the cluster. - 'confirmed': Query the most recent block that has been voted on by supermajority of the cluster. - 'processed': Query the most recent block regardless of cluster voting. - **encoding**: Defines the format of the returned account data. Possible values include: - 'jsonParsed': Returns data in a JSON-parsed format. - 'base64': Returns raw account data in Base64 encoding. - 'base64+zstd': Returns compressed Base64 data. - **epoch**: Specify the epoch when querying for certain information like epoch details. - **skipPreflight**: If true, skip the preflight transaction verification. Preflight ensures that a transaction is valid before sending it to the network, but skipping this can result in faster submission. - **maxRetries**: Specify how many times to retry sending a transaction before giving up. - **recentBlockhash**: Provide a custom recent blockhash for a transaction if not relying on the default. By providing options, you can control the nature of the returned data and the reliability of the query. ### Filters Parameter The filters parameter allows you to specify conditions when querying accounts and other resources. Here are some common filters: #### Token Accounts by Owner # Replace 'owner_pubkey' with the owner's public key owner_pubkey = 'Fg6PaFpoGXkYsidMpWxTWqSKJf6KJkUxX92cnv7WMd2J' # Query for token accounts owned by this public key filters = [{ mint: 'TokenMintPublicKey' }] result = client.get_token_accounts_by_owner(owner_pubkey, filters) puts result #### Account Filters You can use the filters parameter to apply conditions for certain queries, such as fetching token accounts by a specific owner or a specific token program. Below are examples of filters that can be used in different queries. #### Mint Filter - Filter accounts by a specific token mint. ``filters = [{ mint: 'TokenMintPublicKey' }]`` ``result = client.get_token_accounts_by_owner(owner_pubkey, filters)`` #### Program Filter - Filter accounts associated with a particular program, such as the token program. ``filters = [{ programId: 'TokenProgramPublicKey' }]`` ``result = client.get_token_accounts_by_owner(owner_pubkey, filters)`` #### Data Size Filter - Filter accounts by the exact size of the account data. ``filters = [{ dataSize: 165 }]`` ``result = client.get_program_accounts('ProgramPublicKey', filters)`` #### Memcmp Filter - Filter by matching a specific slice of bytes at a given offset in account data. ``filters = [{ memcmp: { offset: 0, bytes: 'Base58EncodedBytes' } }]`` ``result = client.get_program_accounts('ProgramPublicKey', filters)`` ## WebSocket Methods The SolanaRuby gem also provides WebSocket methods to handle real-time notifications and updates from the Solana blockchain. To use the WebSocket client: # Initialize the WebSocket client ws_client = SolanaRuby::WebSocketClient.new("wss://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com") # Subscribe to slot change notifications subscription_id = ws_client.on_slot_change do |slot_info| puts "Slot changed: #{slot_info}" end # Sleep to hold the process and show updates sleep 60 # Adjust the duration as needed to view updates # Unsubscribe from slot change notifications ws_client.remove_slot_change_listener(subscription_id) puts "Unsubscribed from slot change notifications." The following methods are supported by the WebSocketClient: - **Account Change**: Subscribe to changes in an account's state. ```ws_client.on_account_change(pubkey) { |account_info| puts account_info }``` - **Program Account Change**: Subscribe to changes in accounts owned by a specific program. ```ws_client.on_program_account_change(program_id, filters) { |program_account_info| puts program_account_info }``` - **Logs**: Subscribe to transaction logs. ```ws_client.on_logs { |logs_info| puts logs_info }``` - **Logs for a Specific Account**: Subscribe to logs related to a specific account. ```ws_client.on_logs_for_account(account_pubkey) { |logs_info| puts logs_info }``` - **Logs for a Specific Program**: Subscribe to logs related to a specific program. ```ws_client.on_logs_for_program(program_id) { |logs_info| puts logs_info }``` - **Root Change**: Subscribe to root changes. ws_client.on_root_change { |root_info| puts root_info } - **Signature**: Subscribe to a signature notification. ```ws_client.on_signature(signature) { |signature_info| puts signature_info }``` - **Slot Change**: Subscribe to slot changes. ```ws_client.on_slot_change { |slot_info| puts slot_info }``` - **Unsubscribe Methods**: Each WebSocket method has a corresponding unsubscribe method: - remove_account_change_listener(subscription_id) - remove_program_account_listener(subscription_id) - remove_logs_listener(subscription_id) - remove_root_listener(subscription_id) - remove_signature_listener(subscription_id) - remove_slot_change_listener(subscription_id) ## Complete List of Available Methods ### HTTP Methods The following methods are supported by the SolanaRuby::HttpClient: #### Basic get_balance(pubkey) get_balance_and_context(pubkey) get_slot() get_epoch_info(options) get_epoch_schedule() get_genesis_hash() get_inflation_governor() get_inflation_rate() get_inflation_reward(addresses, options) get_leader_schedule(options) get_minimum_balance_for_rent_exemption(account_data_size, options) get_stake_activation(account_pubkey, options) get_stake_minimum_delegation(options) get_supply(options) get_version() get_total_supply(options) get_health() get_identity() get_recent_performance_samples(limit) get_recent_prioritization_fees(addresses) #### Account get_account_info(pubkey) get_parsed_account_info(pubkey, options) get_account_info_and_context(pubkey, options) get_multiple_account_info(pubkeys, options) get_multiple_account_info_and_context(pubkeys, options) get_multiple_parsed_accounts(pubkeys, options) get_largest_accounts(options) get_program_accounts(program_id, options) get_parsed_program_accounts(program_id, options) get_vote_accounts(options) get_parsed_token_accounts_by_owner(owner_pubkey, filters, options) get_nonce_and_context(pubkey) get_nonce(pubkey) #### Block get_nonce(pubkey) get_block(slot, options) get_block_production() get_block_time(slot) get_block_signatures(slot, options) get_cluster_nodes() get_confirmed_block(slot, options) get_confirmed_block_signatures(slot) get_parsed_block(slot, options) get_first_available_block() get_blocks_with_limit(start_slot, limit) get_block_height() get_block_commitment(block_slot) #### Blockhash get_latest_blockhash() get_latest_blockhash() get_fee_for_message(blockhash, options) is_blockhash_valid?(blockhash, options) #### Lookup Table get_address_lookup_table(pubkey) #### Signature get_signature_statuses(signatures) get_signature_status(signature, options) get_signatures_for_address(address, options) #### Slot get_slot() get_slot_leader(options) get_slot_leaders(start_slot, limit) get_highest_snapshot_slot() get_minimum_ladger_slot() get_max_retransmit_slot() get_max_shred_insert_slot() #### Token get_token_balance(pubkey, options) get_token_supply(pubkey) get_token_accounts_by_owner(owner_pubkey, filters, options) get_token_largest_accounts(mint_pubkey, options) #### Transaction send_transaction(signed_transaction, options) confirm_transaction(signature, commitment, timeout) get_transaction(signature, options) get_transaction_count(options) get_transactions(signatures, options) request_airdrop(pubkey, lamports, options) simulate_transaction(transaction, options) send_encoded_transaction(encoded_transaction, options) send_raw_transaction(raw_transaction, options) ### WebSocket Methods The following methods are supported by the SolanaRuby::WebSocketClient: on_account_change(pubkey, options) on_program_account_change(program_id, options, filters) on_logs(options=['all']) on_logs_for_account(public_key) on_logs_for_program(program_id) on_root_change() on_signature(signature) on_signature_with_options(signature, options) remove_account_change_listener(subscription_id) remove_program_account_listener(subscription_id) remove_logs_listener(subscription_id) remove_root_listener(subscription_id) remove_signature_listener(subscription_id) remove_slot_change_listener(subscription_id) ## Default Options Several methods have optional parameters where default options are defined in the client.

This keypair is used to sign the transaction. - **Receiver's Public Key:** Specify the public key of the destination account. You can generate a new keypair for the receiver or use an existing public key. - **Airdrop Functionality:** For Mainnet, Devnet, or Testnet transactions, ensure that the sender's account is funded with sufficient lamports using the Solana airdrop feature. - An initialized client to interact with the Solana blockchain. #### Example Usage: require 'solana_ruby' # Initialize the client (defaults to Mainnet(https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com)) client = SolanaRuby::HttpClient.new('https://api.devnet.solana.com') # Fetch the recent blockhash recent_blockhash = client.get_latest_blockhash["blockhash"] # Generate or fetch the sender's keypair # Option 1: Generate a new keypair sender_keypair = SolanaRuby::Keypair.generate # Option 2: Use an existing private key # sender_keypair = SolanaRuby::Keypair.from_private_key("InsertPrivateKeyHere") sender_pubkey = sender_keypair[:public_key] # Airdrop some lamports to the sender's account when needed. lamports = 10 * 1_000_000_000 sleep(1) result = client.request_airdrop(sender_pubkey, lamports) puts "Solana Balance #{lamports} lamports added sucessfully for the public key: #{sender_pubkey}" sleep(10) # Generate or use an existing receiver's public key # Option 1: Generate a new keypair for the receiver receiver_keypair = SolanaRuby::Keypair.generate receiver_pubkey = receiver_keypair[:public_key] # Option 2: Use an existing public key # receiver_pubkey = 'InsertExistingPublicKeyHere' transfer_lamports = 1 * 1_000_000 puts "Payer's full private key: #{sender_keypair[:full_private_key]}" puts "Receiver's full private key: #{receiver_keypair[:full_private_key]}" puts "Receiver's Public Key: #{receiver_keypair[:public_key]}" # Create a new transaction transaction = SolanaRuby::TransactionHelper.sol_transfer( sender_pubkey, receiver_pubkey, transfer_lamports, recent_blockhash ) # Get the sender's private key (ensure it's a string) private_key = sender_keypair[:private_key] puts "Private key type: #{private_key.class}, Value: #{private_key.inspect}" # Sign the transaction signed_transaction = transaction.sign([sender_keypair]) # Send the transaction to the Solana network sleep(5) response = client.send_transaction(transaction.to_base64, { encoding: 'base64' }) puts "Response: #{response}"
