Examples
[web3.eth.defaultAccount] This default account is used for the following methods:
- web3.eth.sendTransaction()
- web3.eth.call()
Note: The defaultAccount optionally can be overwritten by specifying the from property.
Default account (rinkeby example):
[web3.sha3] The Keccak-256 SHA3 of the given data
Data to be hashed:
Encoding:
[web3.toHex] Converts any value into HEX
Data to be converted into hex:
[web3.toAscii] Converts a HEX string into a ASCII string
Hex string:
[web3.fromAscii] Converts any ASCII string to a HEX string.
ASCII string:
The number of bytes the returned HEX string should have (No paddding if value = 0). This does not work!! Bug maybe?
[web3.toDecimal] Converts a HEX string to its number representation.
An HEX string to be converted to a number:
[web3.fromDecimal] Converts a number or number string to its HEX representation.
A number to be converted to a HEX string:
[web3.fromWei] Converts a number of wei into selected ethereum unit:
Wei (in dec or hex):
Unit:
[web3.toWei] Converts an ethereum unit into wei:
Number of Ethereum units (in dec or hex):
Unit:
[web3.toBigNumber] Converts a given number into a BigNumber instance.
A number, number string or HEX string of a number:
[web3.isAddress] Checks if the given string is an address.
An address (HEX string):
[web3.eth.getCode] Get the code at the specified contract address
Contract Address (rinkeby example):
To find the contract address deployed from an address, goto https://rinkeby.etherscan.io enter the address and search for the transaction which created the contract.
In the transaction details you will find the contract address.
[web3.eth.getBlock] Get the block information at the specified block hash or block number
Block hash or block number (rinkeby example):
[web3.eth.getBlockTransactionCount] Get number of transaction at the specified block hash or block number
Block hash or block number (rinkeby example):
[web3.eth.getUncle] Get blocks uncle for given block hash or block number and uncle index position
Block hash or block number (mainnet example):
Uncle index position
[web3.eth.getTransaction] Get transactions for given transaction hash
Transaction hash (rinkeby example):
[web3.eth.getTransactionFromBlock] Get transactions for given block hash or block number and transaction index position
Block hash or block number (rinkeby example):
Transaction index position
[web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt] Get transaction receipt for given transaction hash
Use this method to get the contract address.
When a contract is created using method web3.eth.sendTransaction a transaction hash is returned.
This transaction hash can be used as input for web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt.
Note:
If you got null instead of a receipt the transaction has not been included in a block yet.
Wait for a moment and check if a miner has included the transaction in a block and retry it.
Transaction hash (rinkeby example):
[web3.eth.getTransactionCount] Get the number of transaction send for specified address
Address (rinkeby example):
[web3.eth.sendTransaction] Send a transaction (ether transfer)
From account (rinkeby example):
To account:
Amount (Ether):
[web3.eth.sendTransaction] Send a transaction (contract creation)
From account (rinkeby example):
Bytecode:
Note:
The Bytecode value above was created as follow:
Load this code into the Remix Solidity IDE http://remix.ethereum.org
or press this link
and it will be done automatically for you (Use Chrome browser).
Compile the code in the Remix Solidity IDE.
Select the Contract tab and click the link "Contract details (bytecode, interface etc.)".
Copy the Remix Bytecode value and paste it into the Bytecode field above.
I already copied the Greeter interface here below, because you will need it in the web3.eth.call example:
[web3.eth.sign] Sign data
From a specific account (rinkeby example):
