Cudos Blast

Cudos Blast is a Node.js CLI (command line interface) tool for working with the Cudos blockchain. You can scaffold, compile and test your Rust smart contracts. JavaScript and Rust testing is supported. Utilizing blast.config.js it provides a possibility for deploying and interacting with them on a specified network (local, test or public). By using this tool you can also spin up a local Cudos node and interact with it.

Table of Contents

Installation

Make sure you have Node.js installed. Docker is also required.

Prerequisite Minimum version Recommended version
Node.js 12.5.0 16.10.0
npm 6.9.0 7.24.0
Docker engine 19.03.13 20.10.12
Docker compose 1.27.4 1.29.2

For Windows users we recommend using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). To avoid permission issues with WSL, you may have to change npm default directory.

Install Cudos Blast package:

npm install cudos-blast

Install Cudos Blast globally:

npm install -g cudos-blast

Help and version

Run --help or help on any blast command to show all available subcommands, parameters and additional information.

blast --help
blast help
blast node --help
blast node start help

You can display cudos-blast version number using --version.

blast --version

Initializing a project

To scaffold a sample project navigate to empty directory and run

blast init

You can also specify the full directory of the project using optional parameter --dir or -d

blast init --dir /Your/Location/Here

The project is now ready to work with the Cudos blockchain. It contains sample smart contracts and scripts to deploy or interact.

Make sure to initialize a new project in a directory other than the local repository folder, or else cudos-blast will break and the repository have to be cloned again.
Also, all blast commands are designed to be executed from the project root directory.

Compiling smart contracts

To compile all smart contracts run

blast compile

The contracts have to be in {project_root}/contracts/ folder. Cudos Blast comes with sample contracts you can use. All contracts are compiled in alphabetical order and as a Rust workspace. If you want to add more folders to compile, all you have to do is edit the base {project_root}/Cargo.toml file and add your folder under members. The compilation is done using rust-optimizer and the artifacts in {project_root}/artifacts/ folder are optimized for deployment.

Running Rust tests

Rust tests are organized by the Rust convention for writing tests. You can check them in their corresponding contracts in {project_root}/contracts/{contract_name}/. To run smart contracts' Rust tests:

blast rusttest

To run the Rust tests without printing cargo log messages use --quiet or -q

blast rusttest -q

Testing contracts with JavaScript

Cudos Blast uses Jest framework for testing. Test files must be in {project_root}/tests/ folder. You can use the provided sample test as a template or make one or more tests of your own. You must have a local node running in order to deploy or interact with the smart contracts in your tests.

describe('alpha contract', () => {
  const MSG_INIT = { count: 13 }
  const MSG_INCREMENT = { increment: {} }
  const MSG_RESET = { reset: { count: 1 } }
  const QUERY_GET_COUNT = { get_count: {} }

  let alice, bob, contract

  // deploying alpha contract once before test cases
  beforeAll(async () => {
    // function 'getSigners' is available in global context
    [alice, bob] = await getSigners()
    contract = await getContractFactory('alpha')
    await contract.deploy(MSG_INIT, bob)
  })

  // positive test case
  test('increment count', async () => {
    await contract.execute(MSG_INCREMENT, alice)
    return expect(contract.query(QUERY_GET_COUNT))
      .resolves.toEqual({ count: 14 })
  })

  // ...

  // negative test case
  test('reset count from user throws unauthorized', () => {
    return expect(contract.execute(MSG_RESET, alice))
      .rejects.toThrow('Unauthorized')
  })
})

Run all test files with

blast test

Interacting with a Cudos node

You can interact with a local Cudos node with blast node command.

Starting a local node

To start a fresh local Cudos node run

blast node start

or you can show the node logging output in current terminal window. To do this use --log or -l.

blast node start -l

To see how to manage local node accounts go here.

Stopping a running local node

To stop a running node run

blast node stop

Checking node status

To check whether a Cudos node is online or offline run

blast node status

You are able to check the status of a non-local Cudos node by setting its URL in blast.config.js under networkUrl:.

Deploying smart contracts, interacting with them and running custom script files

You can use the supplied {project_root}/scripts/deploy.js to deploy a sample smart contract.

async function main () {
  // functions such as 'getSigners' and 'getContractFactory' are available in global context
  const [alice, bob] = await getSigners()

  // get contract object of 'alpha' contract in 'contracts/alpha'
  const contract = await getContractFactory('alpha')

  // define instantiate message for the contract
  const MSG_INIT = { count: 13 }

  // deploying the contract with bob as a signer
  const contractAddress = await contract.deploy(MSG_INIT, bob)

  // printing contract address so it can be copied and used in other scripts such as interact.js
  console.log(`${contractAddress}`)
}
// ...

Run the contract with:

blast run scripts/deploy.js

When the contract is deployed, its address will be printed. Then you can edit {project_root}/scripts/interact.js with the new address

async function main() {
  const [alice, bob] = await getSigners()

  // replace the address with the new one from your deployed smart contract
  const contract = await getContractFromAddress('cudos1uul3yzm2lgskp3dxpj0zg558hppxk6pt8t00qe', bob)
// ...

and run the script to interact with the deployed smart contract.

blast run scripts/interact.js

You are free to use these files as templates or create your own custom .js scripts. You can specify your own script file path.

blast run scripts/myCustomScript.js
blast run newFolder/anotherScripts/myCustomScript.js

Available functions in global context

Function Descripton Sample usage
getSigners() set assigned objects as signers in order as in {project_root}/accounts.json const [alice, bob] = await getSigners()
getContractFactory(contractName) get a contract object from contract named contractName and sign it witn the first account in {project_root}/accounts.json const contract = await getContractFactory('alpha')
getContractFromAddress(contractAddress, signer = null) get a contract object by address. Default contract signer can be set. If omitted, signer becomes first account in {project_root}/accounts.json const contract = await getContractFromAddress('cudos1uul3yzm2lgskp3dxpj0zg558hppxk6pt8t00qe')

You can run your scripts on a different node by setting its URL in blast.config.js under networkUrl. You can connect to the default local node as well as a public one or you can use your own Cudos node.
You can set a custom address prefix under addressPrefix in blast.config.js. Default is cudos.

Network

Here are public Cudos nodes you can use to connect to Cudos network:

Testnet

Chain ID URL
cudos-testnet-public-2 https://sentry1.gcp-uscentral1.cudos.org:26657

Managing accounts

By default local Cudos node starts with 10 predefined accounts funded with acudos. You can set how many additional random accounts to load when starting a local node in blast.config.js under additionalAccounts. In customAccountBalances you can set the amount of tokens that these additional accounts will be funded with. Predefined and additionally generated accounts are written in {project_root}/accounts.json. Another way to manage custom accounts is through blast keys command.
You can put your private accounts in {project_root}/private-accounts.json and add the file to .gitignore to prevent exposing them.

Listing local node accounts

To list all accounts in the local node key storage run

blast keys ls

Adding a new local node account

To add a new account named myAccount1 to the local node key storage run

blast keys add myAccount1

After adding the new account, it is automatically funded with acudos tokens from the default local node faucet.

Removing an existing local node account

To remove an account from the node key storage run

blast keys rm myAccount1

You can skip the delete confirmation with --force or -f

blast keys rm myAccount1 -f

Funding an existing local node account

You can fund an account with additional tokens. To specify tokens amount use --tokens or -t.

blast keys fund myAccount1 --tokens 1000000

The tokens are funded from the default local node faucet in acudos.
