# Nanook This is a Ruby library for managing a [nano currency](https://nano.org/) node, including making and receiving payments, using the [nano RPC protocol](https://docs.nano.org/commands/rpc-protocol). Nano is a fee-less, fast, environmentally-friendly cryptocurrency. It's awesome. See [https://nano.org](https://nano.org/). [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/nanook.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/nanook) [![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/lukes/nanook/tree/master.svg?style=shield)](https://circleci.com/gh/lukes/nanook/tree/master) ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'nanook' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install nanook # Getting Started ## Initializing Nanook will by default connect to `http://[::1]:7076`. ```ruby nanook = Nanook.new ``` To connect to another host instead: ```ruby nanook = Nanook.new("http://localhost:7076") ``` ## Basics ### Working with wallets and accounts Create a wallet: ```ruby wallet = nanook.wallet.create ``` Create an account within a wallet: ```ruby account = wallet.account.create ``` List accounts within a wallet: ```ruby accounts = wallet.accounts ``` ### Sending a payment To send a payment from an account in a wallet: ```ruby account = nanook.wallet(wallet_id).account(account_id) account.pay(to: recipient_account_id, amount: 0.2, id: unique_id) ``` Or, a wallet: ```ruby wallet = nanook.wallet(wallet_id) wallet.pay(from: your_account_id, to: recipient_account_id, amount: 0.2, id: unique_id) ``` The `id` can be any string and needs to be unique per payment. It serves an important purpose; it allows you to make this call multiple times with the same `id` and be reassured that you will only ever send that nano payment once. From the [Nano RPC](https://docs.nano.org/commands/rpc-protocol/#send): > You can (and should) specify a unique id for each spend to provide idempotency. That means that if you [make the payment call] two times with the same id, the second request won't send any additional Nano. The unit of the `amount` is NANO (which is currently technically Mnano — see [What are Nano's Units](https://docs.nano.org/protocol-design/distribution-and-units/#unit-dividers)). You can pass an amount of raw instead by adding the `unit: :raw` argument: ```ruby account.pay(to: recipient_account_id, amount: 999, unit: :raw, id: unique_id) ``` Note, there may be a delay in receiving a response due to Proof of Work being done. From the [Nano RPC](https://docs.nano.org/commands/rpc-protocol/#send): > Proof of Work is precomputed for one transaction in the background. If it has been a while since your last transaction it will send instantly, the next one will need to wait for Proof of Work to be generated. ### Receiving a payment The simplest way to receive a payment is: ```ruby account = nanook.wallet(wallet_id).account(account_id) account.receive # or: wallet = nanook.wallet(wallet_id) wallet.receive(into: account_id) ``` The `receive` method when called as above will receive the latest pending payment for an account in a wallet. It will either return a block hash if a payment was received, or `false` if there were no pending payments to receive. You can also receive a specific pending block if you know it (you may have discovered it through calling `account.pending` for example): ```ruby account = nanook.wallet(wallet_id).account(account_id) account.receive(block_id) # or: wallet = nanook.wallet(wallet_id) wallet.receive(block_id, into: account_id) ``` ## Exploring further Read the [Using Nanook](https://github.com/lukes/nanook/wiki/Using-nanook) page for some example uses of Nanook to query the network. ## All commands Below is a quick reference list of commands. See the [full Nanook documentation](https://lukes.github.io/nanook/4.0.0/) for a searchable detailed description of every class and method, what the arguments mean, and example responses. ### Wallets See the [full documentation for Nanook::Wallet](https://lukes.github.io/nanook/4.0.0/Nanook/Wallet.html) for a detailed description of each method and example responses. #### Create wallet: ```ruby nanook.wallet.create ``` #### Restoring a wallet from a seed ```ruby nanook.wallet.restore(seed) ``` Optionally also restore the wallet's accounts: ```ruby nanook.wallet.restore(seed, accounts: 2) ``` #### Working with a wallet: ```ruby wallet = nanook.wallet(wallet_id) wallet.balance wallet.balance(account_break_down: true) wallet.balance(unit: :raw) wallet.pay(from: your_account_id, to: recipient_account_id, amount: 2, id: unique_id) wallet.pay(from: your_account_id, to: recipient_account_id, amount: 2, id: unique_id, unit: :raw) wallet.pending wallet.pending(limit: 1) wallet.pending(detailed: true) wallet.pending(allow_unconfirmed: true) wallet.pending(unit: :raw) wallet.receive(into: account_id) wallet.receive(pending_block_id, into: account_id) wallet.search_pending wallet.account.create wallet.account.create(5) wallet.accounts wallet.contains?(account_id) wallet.move_accounts(from_wallet_id, [account_1_id, account_2_id]) wallet.remove_account(account_id) wallet.default_representative wallet.change_default_representative(representative_account_id) wallet.change_password(password) wallet.exists? wallet.history wallet.history(unit: :raw) wallet.info wallet.info(unit: :raw) wallet.export wallet.ledger wallet.ledger(unit: :raw) wallet.lock wallet.locked? wallet.republish_blocks wallet.republish_blocks(limit: 5) wallet.unlock(password) wallet.work wallet.destroy ``` ### Accounts #### Create account: ```ruby nanook.wallet(wallet_id).account.create ``` #### Create multiple accounts: ```ruby nanook.wallet(wallet_id).account.create(5) ``` #### Working with an account: Any account on the Nano network that is known by your node can be initialized through `Nanook#account`: ```ruby account = nanook.account(account_id) ``` See the [full documentation for Nanook::Account](https://lukes.github.io/nanook/4.0.0/Nanook/Account.html) for a detailed description of each method and example responses. ```ruby account.balance account.balance(allow_unconfirmed: true) account.balance(unit: :raw) account.pending account.pending(limit: 1) account.pending(allow_unconfirmed: true) account.pending(detailed: true) account.pending(sorted: true) account.pending(unit: :raw) account.blocks account.blocks(limit: 1) account.blocks(sort: :desc) account.delegators account.delegators(unit: :raw) account.delegators_count account.exists? account.history account.history(limit: 1) account.history(unit: :raw) account.history(sort: :desc) account.info account.info(allow_unconfirmed: true) account.info(unit: :raw) account.last_modified_at account.ledger account.ledger(limit: 10) account.ledger(modified_since: Time.now) account.ledger(unit: :raw) account.ledger(sort: :desc) account.open_block account.public_key account.representative account.weight account.weight(unit: :raw) ``` #### Working with an account created on the node: Accounts that have been created on your node can have additional methods when initialized through `Nanook::Wallet#account`: ```ruby wallet = nanook.wallet(wallet_id) account = wallet.account(account_id) ``` As well as the following methods, all methods of [regular accounts](#working-with-any-account) can also be called. See the [full documentation for Nanook::WalletAccount](https://lukes.github.io/nanook/4.0.0/Nanook/WalletAccount.html) for a detailed description of each method and example responses. ```ruby account.pay(to: recipient_account_id, amount: 2, id: unique_id) account.pay(to: recipient_account_id, amount: 2, id: unique_id, unit: :raw) account.receive account.receive(pending_block_id) account.change_representative(new_representative) account.set_work(work) account.work account.destroy ``` ### Blocks See the [full documentation for Nanook::Block](https://lukes.github.io/nanook/4.0.0/Nanook/Block.html) for a detailed description of each method and example responses. ```ruby block = nanook.block(block_id) block.account block.amount block.amount(unit: :raw) block.ancestors block.ancestors(limit: 10) block.ancestors(offset: 10) block.balance block.change? block.checked? block.confirm block.descendants block.descendants(limit: 10) block.descendants(offset: 10) block.epoch? block.exists? block.exists?(allow_unchecked: true) block.height block.info # Verified blocks in the ledger block.info(allow_unchecked: true) # Verified blocks AND unchecked synchronizing blocks block.info(unit: :raw) block.next block.open? block.pending? block.pending?(allow_unconfirmed: true) block.previous block.receive? block.representative block.republish block.republish(sources: 2) block.republish(destinations: 2) block.send? block.signature block.timestamp block.type block.unchecked? block.work block.generate_work block.generate_work(use_peers: true) block.cancel_work block.valid_work?(work) ``` ### Managing your nano node See the [full documentation for Nanook::Node](https://lukes.github.io/nanook/4.0.0/Nanook/Node.html) for a detailed description of each method and example responses. ```ruby node = nanook.node node.account_count node.block_count node.bootstrap(address: "::ffff:138.201.94.249", port: 7075) node.bootstrap_any node.bootstrap_any(account: account_id) node.bootstrap_lazy(block_id) node.bootstrap_lazy(block_id, force: true) node.confirmation_quorum node.difficulty node.difficulty(include_trend: true) node.keepalive(address: "::ffff:138.201.94.249", port: 7075) node.peers node.receive_minimum node.receive_minimum(unit: :raw) node.change_receive_minimum(amount) node.change_receive_minimum(amount, unit: :raw) node.representatives node.representatives(unit: :raw) node.representatives_online node.search_pending node.synchronizing_blocks node.synchronizing_blocks(limit: 1) node.sync_progress node.version node.stop ``` ### Work peers ```ruby work_peers = nanook.work_peers work_peers.add(address: "::ffff:172.17.0.1:7076", port: 7076) work_peers.clear work_peers.list ``` ### Keys #### Create private public key pair: ```ruby private_key = nanook.private_key.create private_key = nanook.private_key.create(seed: seed, index: 0) private_key.public_key # => Nanook::PublicKey ``` #### Working with a private key ```ruby key = nanook.private_key(private_key) key.account key.public_key ``` #### Working with a public key ```ruby key = nanook.public_key(public_key) key.account ``` ### Network A summarized overview of the Nano network: ```ruby nanook.network_telemetry ``` ## Nanook Metal You can do any call listed in the [Nano RPC](https://docs.nano.org/commands/rpc-protocol) directly through the `rpc` method. The first argument should match the `action` of the RPC call, and then all remaining parameters are passed in as arguments. E.g., the [accounts_create command](https://docs.nano.org/commands/rpc-protocol/#accounts_create) can be called like this: ```ruby nanook.rpc.call(:accounts_create, wallet: wallet_id, count: 2) ``` ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome.
