Common methods for smart contract development

• Waykichain Smart Contracts Developed in Lua Language

1. LOG_TYPE

Type of log

LOG_TYPE =
{
    ENUM_STRING = 0,
    ENUM_NUMBER = 1
}

2. ADDR_TYPE

Type of format of the account

ADDR_TYPE = {
    REGID  = 1,
    BASE58 = 2
  }

3. OP_TYPE

Operation type

OP_TYPE = {
    ADD_FREE    = 1,
    SUB_FREE    = 2
  }

4. TableIsNotEmpty

Determine if the data is non-empty

Code sample

TableIsNotEmpty = function (t)
    return _G.next(t) ~= nil
end

Parameters

Returns

true :non-empty flase : empty

5. Unpack

Get all of element in the table

Code sample

Unpack = function (t,i)
    i = i or 1
    if t[i] then
      return t[i], Unpack(t,i+1)
    end
end

Parameters

Returns

all of element in the table

6. GetContractTxParam

Get smart contract content

Code sample

GetContractTxParam = function (startIndex, length)
    assert(startIndex > 0, "GetContractTxParam start error(<=0).")
    assert(length > 0, "GetContractTxParam length error(<=0).")
    assert(startIndex+length-1 <= #contract, "GetContractTxParam length ".. length .." exceeds limit: " .. #contract)

    local newTbl = {}
    local i = 1
    for i = 1,length do
      newTbl[i] = contract[startIndex+i-1]
    end
    return newTbl
  end

Parameters

Returns

smart contract content

7. MemIsEqual

Compare whether t1 and t2 are equal

Code sample

MemIsEqual = function (t1,t2)
    assert(TableIsNotEmpty(t1), "t1 is empty")
    assert(TableIsNotEmpty(t2), "t2 is empty")

    if(#t1 ~= #t2) then
      return false
    end

    local i = 1
    for i = #t1,1,-1 do
      if t1[i] ~= t2[i] then
        return false
      end
    end
    return true
end

Parameters

Returns

true :equal flase : not equal

8. GetByte

Convert a string to an byte table

Code sample

GetByte = function(param)
  return {string.byte(param,1,string.len(param))}
end

Parameters

Returns

byte table

9. Serialize

Convert a table to String

Code sample

Serialize = function(obj, hex)
    local lua = ""
    local t = type(obj)

    if t == "table" then
        for i=1, #obj do
            if hex == false then
                lua = lua .. string.format("%c",obj[i])
            elseif hex == true then
                lua = lua .. string.format("%02x",obj[i])
      else
        error("index type error.")  
            end
        end
    elseif t == "nil" then
        return nil
    else
        error("can not Serialize a " .. t .. " type.")
    end

    return lua
end

Parameters

Returns

Destination string - String

10. Main

Entry function of the smart contract

• The Main method is the entry for the caller;
• When calling a smart contract, a contract of type table is passed in as a global variable.
• According to the second field of the data in the byte array, which method should go to a different method

Main = function()
--  for i=1, #contract do
--  print(i, contract[i])
-- end
  assert(#contract >=4, "Param length error (<4): " ..#contract )
  assert(contract[1] == 0xf0, "Param MagicNo error (~=0xf0): " .. contract[1])

  if contract[2] == 0x17 then
   -- calling+ specific methods

  else
    error('method# '..string.format("%02x", contract[2])..' not found')
  end

end
