## Installation

  1. Add exw3 to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

        def deps do
          [{:exw3, "~> 0.0.1"}]
        end

  2. Ensure exw3 is started before your application:

        def application do
          [applications: [:exw3]]
        end

## Overview

ExW3 is a wrapper around ethereumex to provide a high level, and user friendly json rpc api. It currently only supports Http.

## Usage

Ensure you have an ethereum node to connect to at the specified url in your config. Any easy local testnet to use is ganache-cli:
```
ganache-cli
```

Make sure your config includes:
```elixir
config :ethereumex,
  url: "http://localhost:8545"
```

Currently ExW3 supports a handful of json rpc commands. Mostly just the useful ones. If it doesn't support those specific commands you can always use the Ethereumex commands.

```elixir
iex(1)> accounts = ExW3.accounts()                                        
["0x957e3d06f15d6fc3913a24c5c41009784a4ec683",

iex(2)> ExW3.balance(Enum.at(accounts, 0))

    "type" => "function"
  },

    "name" => "set",
    "outputs" => [],

    "stateMutability" => "nonpayable",
    "type" => "function"
  }
}
iex(5)> contract_address = ExW3.Contract.deploy("test/examples/build/SimpleStorage.bin", %{from: Enum.at(accounts, 0), gas: 150000})
"0xecac9f4000ae355c7d33481edb0fddbece502423"
iex(6)> storage_pid = ExW3.Contract.at(simple_storage_abi, contract_address) 
#PID<0.257.0>
iex(7)> ExW3.Contract.method(storage_pid, "get")
{:ok, 0}
iex(8)> ExW3.Contract.method(storage_pid, "set", [1], %{from: Enum.at(accounts, 0)})
{:ok, "0xb8a6ee58c88efcea775452a68fac20e47bda6ca933aa25dd85c4a97b0cfbf43f"}
iex(9)> ExW3.Contract.method(storage_pid, "get")                          
{:ok, 1}
```

For bonus style points you can use snake case keywords for the method names. For example:

```elixir
ExW3.Contract.method(pid, "fooBar")
```

is the same as:

```elixir
ExW3.Contract.method(pid, :foo_bar)
```


## Compiling solidity

Ensure you have solc installed:

```
solc --version
```

Then if you've made changes to the example contracts you can compile them like this:
```
mix solc
```
