This is the SUKU Ethereum Node API, a NodeJS REST API that can be used to abstract access to Ethereum based blockchain nodes such as Geth, Quorum Geth, Ganache, etc.

Use this package to deploy a REST API that you can use to send transactions, deploy smart contracts, call smart contract functions, and manage Node Accounts.

This package supports sending pre-signed transactions and unsigned transactions, for the latter the private key needs to be specified as an env var in the node.

Deploy this package to a server to get REST-based access to your Ethereum node.

Make sure to check out our example in ./examples/ERC721-example.ts. It shows how to use the Node API to deploy and test an ERC721 contract. Here's how to use it:

1. Make sure that your env variables are set. You need to set CONNECTION_STRING and PRIVATE_KEY.
2. Start the API with npm start.
3. Run the example with npm run example.

docker build .

The docker image expect two env variables to be set:

• CONNECTION_STRING needs to be a websocket connection string to a geth node
• PRIVATE_KEY needs to be an Ethereum private key

Set the PORT variable if you want to define the port that the NodeJS Application is listening on. The default port is 3000.

docker run -e CONNECTION_STRING=https://localhost:8545/ -e PRIVATE_KEY=<private_key> -p 3000:3000 <container_name>
