Ethane is an alternative web3 implementation with the aim of being slim and simple. It does not depend on futures or any executors. It currently supports http and websockets (both plain and TLS) and inter process communication via Unix domain sockets (Unix only). For http and websockets it also supports Http Basic and Bearer Authentication.
This library is very raw and under heavy development. Expect to find some bugs and use at your own risk!
Please also have a look at the documentation.
In order to get started, create a connector over some transport. The following examples show you how to make a request and how to subscribe to events.
```rust use ethane::Connector; use ethane::rpc::ethgetbalance; use ethane::types::H160;
// Start up connector let nodeendpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:8545"; let mut connector = Connector::http(nodeendpoint, None).unwrap();
// Make a request let address = H160::zero(); let balance = connector.call(ethgetbalance(address, None)).unwrap(); ```
```rust use ethane::Connector; use ethane::rpc::sub::ethsubscribenewpendingtransactions;
// Start up connector with websockets let nodeendpoint = "ws://127.0.0.1:8546"; let mut connector = Connector::websocket(nodeendpoint, None).unwrap();
// Subscribe to pending transactions let mut txsubscription = connector .subscribe(ethsubscribenewpending_transactions()).unwrap();
// Get next transaction item let tx = txsubscription.nextitem().unwrap(); ```
