Chainlist

chainlist for easy manage and access to EVM-based Chains information

Description

the project is a library for interacting with metadata of the Chain. It provides a set of functions for reading metadata to the chain object, managing listings.

when your project need maintain multiple chain or access the metadata of chains, chainlist can help you.

Features

• Manage multiple chains
• Compatible fields
• Flexible access
• Extensible
• Autoload the config file of chains(only Node.js)

Installation

npm i evm-chainlist

or

yarn add evm-chainlist

Environment Variables

• EVM_CHAINLIST_DISABLE_AUTOLOAD Disable autoload the data of chains, will export an empty instance of Chains. only Node.js environment
• EVM_CHAINLIST_DATA_DIR This contains the path to the directory containing your chains files, them will be autoload to instance of Chains, default read process.cwd() + '/chains' directory, the file extension can be .json, .json5, .yaml, .yml, the chains data must includes name and chainId fields. only Node.js environment

Usage

We have some metadata for chains. you can find them here ethereum-lists/chains.

const ethereumMetadata = {
  "name": "Ethereum Mainnet",
  "chain": "ETH",
  "icon": "ethereum",
  "features": [{ "name": "EIP155" }, { "name": "EIP1559" }],
  "nativeCurrency": {
    "name": "Ether",
    "symbol": "ETH",
    "decimals": 18
  },
  "infoURL": "https://ethereum.org",
  "shortName": "eth",
  "chainId": 1,
  "networkId": 1,
  "code": "ethereum"
};

const rinkebyMetadata = {
  "name": "Rinkeby",
  "title": "Ethereum Testnet Rinkeby",
  "chain": "ETH",
  "nativeCurrency": {
    "name": "Rinkeby Ether",
    "symbol": "ETH",
    "decimals": 18
  },
  "infoURL": "https://www.rinkeby.io",
  "shortName": "rin",
  "chainId": 4,
  "networkId": 4,
  "status": "inactive"
};

const goerliMetadata = {
  "name": "Goerli",
  "title": "Ethereum Testnet Goerli",
  "chain": "ETH",
  "nativeCurrency": {
    "name": "Goerli Ether",
    "symbol": "ETH",
    "decimals": 18
  },
  "infoURL": "https://goerli.net/#about",
  "shortName": "gor",
  "chainId": 5,
  "networkId": 5,
  "testnet": true,
  "alias": {
    "internal": "goerli"
  }
};

Chain

It's like access ordinary JSON objects, but it provide index and useful methods

import { Chain } from 'evm-chainlist';

// Get ethereum
const ethereum = new Chain(ethereumMetadata);
const rinkeby = new Chain(rinkebyMetadata);
// Get goerli, and set indexes
const goerli = new Chain(goerliMetadata, {indexes: ['alias.internal']});

// Access metadata
console.log(ethereum.get('nativeCurrency.name')); // Output: Ether
console.log(ethereum.name); // Output: Ethereum Mainnet
console.log(ethereum.infoURL); // Output: https://ethereum.org
console.log(goerli.title); // Output: Ethereum Testnet Goerli

// Default indexes: name, chainId, networkId
console.log(goerli.equal('Ethereum Mainnet'); // Output: true
console.log(ethereum.equal(1); // Output: true
console.log(ethereum.equal('ethereum')); // Output: false

// Specify indexes
console.log(goerli.equal('goerli')); // Output: true
console.log(goerli.indexes()); // Output: ['alias.internal']
console.log(goerli.indexValues()); // Output: ['goerli']

// Provide methods
console.log(ethereum.isTestnet(), goerli.isTestnet()); // Output: false true
console.log(rinkeby.supportFeature('EIP155')); // Output: false
console.log(goerli.active(), rinkeby.inactive()); // Output: true true
// ...

ChainList

Some businesses only support some chains

import { ChainList } from 'evm-chainlist';

// Instantiate by Chain or metadata
const list = new ChainList([ethereumMetadata, rinkebyMetadata]);

// Add Chain
list.add(new Chain(goerliMetadata, {indexes: ['alias.internal']}));

// Access chain by index value
const ethereum = list.get(1);
console.log(ethereum.name); // Output: Ethereum Mainnet

const goerli = list.get('goerli');
console.log(goerli.name); // Output: Goerli

console.log(list.include(4)); // Output: true

// Del chain by index value
list.del('Rinkeby');

// ...

Chains

Global access all chain and list.

import { Chains } from 'evm-chainlist';

const data = [{
  "name": "Ethereum Mainnet",
  "chainId": 1
}, {
  "name": "OP Mainnet", 
  "chainId": 10
}, {
  "name": "Binance Smart Chain",
  "chainId": 56
}, {
  "name": "Kovan",
  "chainId": 42
}, {
  "name": "Rinkeby",
  "chainId": 4
}];

// Instantiate by Chain or metadata
const chains = new Chains(data, {lists: {
  'business1': [1, 56, 5],
}});

// Add Chain
chains.addChain(new Chain({
  "name": "Goerli",
  "chainId": 5,
  "alias": {
    "internal": "goerli"
  }
}, {indexes: ['alias.internal']}));

const rinkeby = chains.getChain(4);
console.log(rinkeby.name); // Output: Rinkeby

// Add ChainList
chains.addChainList('test', ['goerli', 42]);

// Access ChainList
const testList = chains.getChainList('test');
console.log(testList.include(5)); // Output: true

// ...

This module will autoload the chains data and export the instance of Chains;

import chains, { Chains } from 'evm-chainlist';
// import defaults the instance of Chains through auto load your project 'chains' directory

console.log(chains instanceof Chinas);  // Output: true
