Deploying your first contract
This tutorial will take you through the entire process of writing a contract and deploying it on a local instance of ORBS in just a few minutes.
Let's write a simple example that implements a counter. Create a file named
counter.go and type in the following contentcounter.go
package main
import (
"github.com/orbs-network/orbs-contract-sdk/go/sdk/v1"
"github.com/orbs-network/orbs-contract-sdk/go/sdk/v1/state"
)
var PUBLIC = sdk.Export(add, get)
var SYSTEM = sdk.Export(_init)
var COUNTER_KEY = []byte("count")
func _init() {
state.WriteUint64(COUNTER_KEY, 0)
}
func add(amount uint64) {
count := state.ReadUint64(COUNTER_KEY)
count += amount
state.WriteUint64(COUNTER_KEY, count)
}
func get() uint64 {
return state.ReadUint64(COUNTER_KEY)
}
Don't worry if you don't fully understand the code at this point.
We'll test our contract on Gamma server. Start it from terminal
gamma-cli start-local
You can keep an eye on Prism (http://localhost:3000/) to see new blocks and transactions apear as you continue with the deployment in the next steps.
To deploy the counter contract, run in terminal
gamma-cli deploy counter.go -name MyCounter
If the deploy is successful, you'll see a response similar to this
{
"RequestStatus": "COMPLETED",
"TxId": "7Y4urVmKvunYsxh7kKhUoQ72XjSJcdkBxxzBcauC9icC9gzMy8mPDcg",
"ExecutionResult": "SUCCESS",
"OutputArguments": [],
"TransactionStatus": "COMMITTED",
"BlockHeight": "1869",
"BlockTimestamp": "2018-12-05T13:05:51.347Z"
}
Write the transaction details in a JSON file named
add-25.jsonadd-25.json
{
"ContractName": "MyCounter",
"MethodName": "add",
"Arguments": [
{
"Type": "uint64",
"Value": "25"
}
]
}
More Information about sending transactions and the Gamma-cli json files structures can be found at the gamma in depth chapter of this documentation
To increment the counter by 75, let's send this transaction 3 times from terminal
gamma-cli send-tx add-25.json -signer user1
gamma-cli send-tx add-25.json -signer user1
gamma-cli send-tx add-25.json -signer user1
Note that the transaction will be signed by
user1, an example account found in orbs-test-keys.jsonWrite the query details in a JSON file named
get.jsonget.json
{
"ContractName": "MyCounter",
"MethodName": "get",
"Arguments": []
}
This query will read the counter value from the contract's state. Send it from terminal
gamma-cli run-query get.json
Note that transactions that change state require consensus by several nodes. Reading state with queries is a simpler action that doesn't require consensus.
Since we're done testing, the server is no longer needed. Let's stop it from terminal
gamma-cli stop-local
