Adapters
Adapters allow to access the Ethereum blockchain using different JavaScript libraries. Adapters wrap such libraries and enforce a standard for use with the colonyNetwork smart contracts.
Parameters
Adapters require the following parameters:
{
loader, // Instance of a ContractLoader
provider, // Instance of an Ethereum provider, e.g. for sending/receiving transactions
wallet, // Instance of an Ethereum wallet, e.g. for signing transactions
}Initialization
Here is an example initializing an adapter using ethers:
// Import the prerequisites
const { providers, Wallet } = require('ethers');
const { default: EthersAdapter } = require('@colony/colony-js-adapter-ethers');
const { default: NetworkLoader } = require('@colony/colony-js-contract-loader-network');
// Set network
const network = 'rinkeby';
// Create instance of NetworkLoader
const loader = new NetworkLoader({ network });
// Create provider for wallet and ethers adapter
const provider = providers.getDefaultProvider(network);
// Set the private key
const privateKey = '0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000';
// Create wallet with private key and provider
const wallet = new Wallet(privateKey, provider);
// Create a new ethers adapter
const adapter = new EthersAdapter({
loader,
provider,
wallet,
});Future Adapters
