Iroha CLI Client

Iroha Client CLI is a "thin" wrapper around functionality exposed in the iroha crate. Specifically, it should be used as a reference for using iroha's features, and not as a production-ready client. As such, the CLI client is not guaranteed to support all features supported by the client library. Check Iroha 2 documentation for a detailed tutorial on working with Iroha Client CLI.

Installation

Requirements: a working Rust toolchain (version 1.62.1), installed and configured.

Build Iroha and its binaries:

cargo build

The above command will produce the iroha ELF executable file for Linux/BSD, the iroha executable for MacOS, and the iroha.exe executable for Windows, depending on your platform and configuration.

Alternatively, check out the documentation for system-wide installation instructions.

Usage

Run Iroha Client CLI:

iroha [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>

Options

Option	Description
-c, --config	Set a config file path (config.json by default).

Subcommands

help	Print the help message for iroha and/or the current subcommand other than help subcommand

Refer to Iroha Special Instructions for more information about Iroha instructions such as register, mint, grant, and so on.

Examples

❕ All examples below are Unix-oriented. If you're working on Windows, we would highly encourage you to consider using WSL, as most documentation assumes a POSIX-like shell running on your system. Please be advised that the differences in the syntax may go beyond executing iroha.exe instead of iroha.

./iroha domain register --id="Soramitsu"
./iroha account register --id="ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu"
./iroha asset register --id="XOR#Soramitsu" --type=Numeric
./iroha asset mint --account="ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu" --asset="XOR#Soramitsu" --quantity=1010
./iroha asset get --account="ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu" --asset="XOR#Soramitsu"

In this section we will show you how to use Iroha CLI Client to do the following:

• Create new Domain
• Create new Account
• Mint Asset to Account
• Query Account Assets Quantity
• Execute WASM transaction
• Execute Multi-instruction Transactions

Create new Domain

To create a domain, you need to specify the entity type first (domain in our case) and then the command (register) with a list of required parameters. For the domain entity, you only need to provide the id argument as a string that doesn't contain the @ and # symbols.

./iroha domain register --id="Soramitsu"

Create new Account

To create an account, specify the entity type (account) and the command (register). Then define the value of the id argument in "signatory@domain" format, where signatory is the account's public key in multihash representation:

./iroha account register --id="ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu"

Mint Asset to Account

To add assets to the account, you must first register an Asset Definition. Specify the asset entity and then use the register and mint commands respectively. Here is an example of adding Assets of the type Quantity to the account:

./iroha asset register --id="XOR#Soramitsu" --type=Numeric
./iroha asset mint --account="ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu" --asset="XOR#Soramitsu" --quantity=1010

With this, you created XOR#Soramitsu, an asset of type Numeric, and then gave 1010 units of this asset to the account ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu.

Query Account Assets Quantity

You can use Query API to check that your instructions were applied and the world is in the desired state. For example, to know how many units of a particular asset an account has, use asset get with the specified account and asset:

./iroha asset get --account="ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu" --asset="XOR#Soramitsu"

This query returns the quantity of XOR#Soramitsu asset for the ed01204A3C5A6B77BBE439969F95F0AA4E01AE31EC45A0D68C131B2C622751FCC5E3B6@Soramitsu account.

You can also filter based on either account, asset or domain id by using the filtering API provided by the Iroha client CLI. Generally, filtering follows the ./iroha ENTITY list filter PREDICATE pattern, where ENTITY is asset, account or domain and PREDICATE is condition used for filtering serialized using JSON5 (check iroha::data_model::predicate::value::ValuePredicate type).

Here are some examples of filtering:

# Filter domains by id
./iroha domain list filter '{"Identifiable": {"Is": "wonderland"}}'
# Filter accounts by domain
./iroha account list filter '{"Identifiable": {"EndsWith": "@wonderland"}}'
# Filter asset by domain
./iroha asset list filter '{"Or": [{"Identifiable": {"Contains": "#wonderland#"}}, {"And": [{"Identifiable": {"Contains": "##"}}, {"Identifiable": {"EndsWith": "@wonderland"}}]}]}'

Execute WASM transaction

Use --file to specify a path to the WASM file:

./iroha wasm --file=/path/to/file.wasm

Or skip --file to read WASM from standard input:

cat /path/to/file.wasm | ./iroha wasm

These subcommands submit the provided wasm binary as an Executable to be executed outside a trigger context.

Execute Multi-instruction Transactions

The reference implementation of the Rust client, iroha, is often used for diagnosing problems in other implementations.

To test transactions in the JSON format (used in the genesis block and by other SDKs), pipe the transaction into the client and add the json subcommand to the arguments:

cat /path/to/file.json | ./iroha json transaction

Request arbitrary query

echo '{ "FindAllParameters": null }' | ./iroha --config client.toml json query
