caver.account

caver.account is a package that provides functionality related to Account that is used when updating an account.

Class

Account

const account = new caver.account(address, accountKey)

Account is a class that contains information needed to update the AccountKey of the account in the kaia blockchain platform (kaia). This is the default class for the caver.account package. To create an Account instance with public key string(s), please refer to caver.account.create.

properties

Name	Type	Description
address	string	The address of account to be updated.
accountKey	object	The new accountKey to be used in account. This can be an instance of AccountKeyLegacy, AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyFail, AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig or AccountKeyRoleBased. When the transaction is executed, the accountKey of the account stored in the kaia is changed to this.

AccountKeyLegacy

const accountKeyLegacy = new caver.account.accountKey.accountKeyLegacy()

AccountKeyLegacy is used to update the AccountKey of an account in the kaia with AccountKeyLegacy. To create an Account instance with AccountKeyLegacy, please refer to caver.account.createWithAccountKeyLegacy.

AccountKeyPublic

const accountKeyPublic = new caver.account.accountKey.accountKeyPublic(publicKey)

AccountKeyPublic is used to update the AccountKey of an account in the kaia with AccountKeyPublic. By updating AccountKey to AccountKeyPublic, you can change your existing AccountKey into the new public key, which will be used to validate a transaction in kaia. This change is necessary when you decouple your private key from the address of your account. See AccountUpdate and AccountKey for details.

To create an Account instance with AccountKeyPublic, please refer to caver.account.create or caver.account.createWithAccountKeyPublic.

properties

Name	Type	Description
publicKey	string	The public key string.

AccountKeyFail

const accountKeyFail = new caver.account.accountKey.accountKeyFail()

AccountKeyFail is used to update AccountKey of an account in the kaia with AccountKeyFail. To create an Account instance with AccountKeyFail, please refer to caver.account.createWithAccountKeyFail.

AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig

const accountKeyWeightedMultiSig = new caver.account.accountKey.accountKeyWeightedMultiSig(threshold, weightedPublicKeys)

AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig is used to update AccountKey of an account in the kaia with AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig. By updating your AccountKey to AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig, you can change your existing AccountKey into the new public key, which will be used to validate a transaction in kaia. This change is necessary when you decouple your private key from the address of your account. See AccountUpdate and AccountKey for details.

To create an Account instance with AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig, please refer to caver.account.create or caver.account.createWithAccountKeyWeightedMultiSig.

properties

Name	Type	Description
threshold	number	The validation threshold.
weightedPublicKeys	Array	The array of WeightedPublicKey.

AccountKeyRoleBased

const accountKeyRoleBased = new caver.account.accountKey.accountKeyRoleBased(accountKeyArray)

AccountKeyRoleBased is used to update AccountKey of an account in the kaia with AccountKeyRoleBased. By updating your AccountKey to AccountKeyRoleBased, you can change the AccountKey(s) assigned for each role, all of which are used to validate a transaction in kaia. See AccountUpdate and AccountKey for more details.

To create an Account instance with AccountKeyRoleBased, please refer to caver.account.create or caver.account.createWithAccountKeyRoleBased.

properties

Name	Type	Description
accountKeyArray	Array	The array defining accountKey to be used for each role. Each role can be defined with AccountKeyLegacy, AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyFail, or AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig.

WeightedPublicKey

const weightedPublicKey = new caver.account.accountKey.weightedPublicKey(weight, publicKey)

WeightedPublicKey contains a public key and its weight. WeightedPublicKey is a class that contains the public key and the weight of the key, and it is used in AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig.

properties

Name	Type	Description
weight	number	The weight of public key. The weight is used to check whether the weighted sum of public keys is larger than the threshold of the AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig object.
publicKey	string	The public key string.

WeightedMultiSigOptions

const weightedMultiSigOptions = new caver.account.weightedMultiSigOptions(threshold, weights)

WeightedMultiSigOptions contains a threshold and weights. WeightedMultiSigOptions is a class for defining the options of AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig.

properties

Name	Type	Description
threshold	number	The validation threshold.
weights	Array	An array of weights of keys.

caver.account.create

caver.account.create(address, accountKey [, options])

Generates an Account instance with an address and an accountKey.

If accountKey is a public key string, an Account instance with AccountKeyPublic as accountKey is created. If accountKey is an array containing public key strings, an Account instance with AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig as accountKey is created. If options are not defined as the last parameter, it is created using a default option with a threshold of 1 and a weight of 1 for each key. If accountKey is an array containing accountKeys that are used for each role, an Account instance with AccountKeyRoleBased is created. Options must be defined for each role with WeightedMultiSigOptions. If options are not defined, the default option is used for roles that use multiple public keys. Please refer to the example below for how to use it.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
address	string	The address of account to be updated.
accountKey	string | Array	A public key string, an array of public keys, or a 2D array of which each element contains an array of key(s) to be used for each role.
options	WeightedMultiSigOptions | Array	(optional) Options for AccountKeyWeigthedMultiSig.

Return Value

Type	Description
Account	The account instance is returned.
