Create Contract in Ethereum Blockchain

create contract in Ethereum Blockchain

First setup the Ethereum blockchain(private/public) 

start Ethereum Client by following command

Public blockchain with testnet

 




geth --rpc --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport "8545" --datadir ~/.ethereum-testnet --testnet --rpcapi="db,eth,net,web3,personal,web3" --rpc console
 

Private blockchain




geth --datadir ~/myBlockChain --mine --minerthreads 3 --networkid 1300 --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" --rpcport 8000 --port 30301 --rpcapi eth,web3,personal --rpc --maxpeers 0 --nodiscover console
 

Step 1. 
Connection with Ethereum Virtual machine(EVM)

var Web3=require('web3');

 global.web3;

 web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8000"));

 if (!web3.isConnected()) {

       console.log("ethereum network connected");

     } else {

       Logger.info("ethereum connected");

 }

Step 2. 
Ethereum Support three language(Solidity,Serprent,LLL) to Write Contract.
----------------- Contract Code in Solidity Language -------------------




contract Authentication {

    address admin;

    event message(string str);

    function Authentication() {

        admin=msg.sender;

    }

    function isAdmin(){

       if(msg.sender==admin){

        message('Welcome admin');

    }

    else

    {

        message('Sorry, You are not authorized');

    }

    }



}

// Save file as "demoContract.sol", ".sol" is extension of solidity code.
for more detail -->https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/develop/contracts.html

 

Step 3. 
// contract code compilation and get contract abi(arbitrary binary definiton)
for reference --> https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI

var convertToAbi=function(cb) {
        var fs=require('fs');
            fs.readFile(__dirname + '/demoContract.sol', 'utf8', function(err, solidityCode) {
                if (err) {
                    console.log("error in reading file: ", err);
                    return;
                } else {
            var solc=require('solc');
                    var compiled = solc.compile(solidityCode, 1).contracts.Authentication;
                    var abi = JSON.parse(compiled.interface);
                    var bytecode = compiled.bytecode;
                    var contractInstance = web3.eth.contract(abi);
                    cb(bytecode, contractInstance, abi);
                }
            });
}

Step 4.

var unlockAccount=function(owner, password, duration, cb) {
       web3.personal.unlockAccount(owner, password, 120, function(error, result) {
             cb(error, result);
        });

}

Step 5.

var estimateGas=function(account, bytecode, cb) {                 web3.eth.estimateGas({                     from: account,                     data: bytecode                 }, function(error, gas) {                    cb(error, gas);                 }); }

 

Step 6.

create contract and deploy to ethereum blockchain


var createContract=function(contractInstance, owner, bytecode, gas, abi, callback) {
            var ss = contractInstance.new({
                from: owner,
                data: bytecode,
                gas: gas
               }, (err, contract) => {
                if (err) {
                    callback(err,err);
                    return;
                } else if (contract.address) {
                   var arr = {};
                    arr.contractAddress = contractAddress;
                     arr.transactionHash = transactionHash;
                    arr.gasUsed = gas;
                     callback(null, arr);
                } else {
                    Logger.info("A transmitted, waiting for mining...");
                }
            });
}

Step Last: 
All Combined Code:

var smartContract=function(req, res, callback) {
        // account and their password( etherbase account)
            var owner = req.body.owner; 
            var password = req.body.password;
            // call a function to covert abi(arbitray binary definition) of contract
            convertToAbi((bytecode, contractInstance, abi) => {
                console.log("Unlocking account -----------");
               unlockAccount(owner, password, 30, (error, result) => {
                    if (error) {
                        callback(error, result);
                        return;
                    } else {
            // estimate gas of contract 
                        estimateGas(owner, bytecode, (error, gas) => {
                            if (error) {
                                callback(error, gas);
                                return;
                            } else {
                                createContract(contractInstance, owner, bytecode, gas, abi, callback);
                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
            });
}

 

------------Execute/Run Contract method --------------------

var contractAddress = req.body.contractAddress; // ethereum account  and password 
var accountAddress = req.body.accountAddress; 
var password = req.body.password; 
var method = req.body.method; 
var contractInstance = web3.eth.contract(abi); 
var contractCaller = contractInstance.at(contractAddress);
                 Logger.info("Unlock Account ----------------");
                 unlockAccount(adminAddress, password, 30, (error, result) => { 
                    if (error) {                         callback(error, result);                         return;                     } else {                         estimateGas(adminAddress, bytecode, (error, gas) => {                             if (error) {                                 callback(error, gas);                                 return;                          } else {                 contractMethod(method,contractCaller,accountAddress,callback);                                                              }                         });                     }  }); var contractMethodCall=function(method,contractCaller,accountAddress,callback){ switch(method){ case "isAdmin":    contractCaller.isAdmin(accountAddress, action, {                             from: adminAddress,                             gas: gas                         }, (err, data) => {                             callEvent(contractCaller,callback,data);                         });                         break;                          } }






var callEvent=function(contractCaller, callback, data) {         
var event = contractCaller.usersLog(function(error, result) {             
if (!error) {             
var arr = {};                 
arr.transactionHash = data;                 
arr.result = result.args;                 
callback(error, arr);                 
event.stopWatching();             
} else {                 
callback(error, result);                 
event.stopWatching();             
}         
}); }

I hope, this will be helpul

Thanks
