caver.wallet

caver.wallet is a package that manages Keyring instances in in-memory wallet. caver.wallet accepts all SingleKeyring, MultipleKeyring, and RoleBasedKeyring, and manages them by address.

Class

KeyringContainer


caver.wallet

KeyringContainer is a class that manages SingleKeyring, MultipleKeyring, and RoleBasedKeyring instances. When Caver is instantiated, it creates a KeyringContainer instance in the caver.wallet. You can store and manage keyring instances in the in-memory wallet through caver.wallet.

The returned object contains the following:

Name	Type	Description
messageHash	string	The hash of message with kaia-specific prefix.

caver.wallet.sign


caver.wallet.sign(address, transaction [, index] [, hasher])

Signs the transaction as a sender of the transaction and appends signatures in the transaction object using the keyring in caver.wallet.

For Account Update transaction, use roleTransactionKey, otherwise, use roleTransactionKey. If the user has not defined an index, caver.wallet.sign signs the transaction using all the private keys used by the role. If index is defined, the caver.wallet.sign signs the transaction using only one private key at the given index.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
address	string	An address of the keyring to be used.
transaction	object	An instance of Transaction.
index	number	(optional) The index of the private key you want to use. The index must be less than the length of the array of the private keys defined for each role. If an index is not defined, this method will use all the private keys.
hasher	function	(optional) A hash function to get the transaction hash. If `hasher` is given as a parameter, it calculates the transaction hash instead of the default method for calculating transaction hash implemented in caver-js. See Basic for details about the default method for transaction hash generation.

Return Value

Promise returning object: The signed transaction.

Type	Description
object	A signed transaction instance. The sign(s) is added to the `transaction.signatures`.

caver.wallet.signAsFeePayer


caver.wallet.signAsFeePayer(address, transaction [, index] [, hasher])

Signs the transaction as fee payer of the transaction and appends feePayerSignatures in the transaction object using the keyring in caver.wallet.

For signing a transaction as a fee payer, use roleFeePayerKey. If the user has not defined an index, caver.wallet.signAsFeePayer signs the transaction using all the private keys used by the role. If index is defined, the caver.wallet.signAsFeePayer signs the transaction using only one private key at the given index.

If the transaction.feePayer is not defined, the address of keyring which is founded from caver.wallet is assigned.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
address	string	An address of the keyring to be used.
transaction	object	An instance of FeeDelegatedTransaction.
index	number	(optional) The index of the private key you want to use. The index must be less than the length of the array of the private keys defined for each role. If an index is not defined, this method will use all the private keys.
hasher	function	(optional) A function to get the transaction hash. If hasher is defined as a parameter, this is used to get the transaction hash instead of a default implementation in caver-js.

Return Value

Promise returning object: The signed transaction.

Type	Description
object	A signed transaction instance. The signing result is appended to the `transaction.feePayerSignatures`.
