A simple module for querying the Ethereum RPC layer.

## Install

```
npm install --save ethjs-query
```

## Usage

```js
const BN = require('bn.js');
const HttpProvider = require('ethjs-provider-http');
const Eth = require('@fksyuan/ethjs-query');
const eth = new Eth(new HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));

eth.getBalance('0x407d73d8a49eeb85d32cf465507dd71d507100c1', cb);

// result null <BN ...>

eth.sendTransaction({
  from: '0x407d73d8a49eeb85d32cf465507dd71d507100c1',
  to: '0x987d73d8a49eeb85d32cf462207dd71d50710033',
  value: new BN('6500000'),
  gas: 3000000,
  data: '0x',
}).then(cb).catch(cb);

// result null 0xc5d2460186f7233c927e7db2dcc703c0e500b653ca82273b7bfad8045d85a470
```

## About

A simple Ethereum RPC module for querying data from an Ethereum node such as a geth (go-etherem), parity (rust-ethereum) or TestRPC (local js-ethereum).

This module supports all Ethereum RPC methods and is designed completely to specification.

## Amorphic Data Formatting

`ethjs-query` uses the `ethjs-format` module to format incoming and outgoing RPC data payloads. The primary formatting task is numbers. Number values can be inputed as: `BigNumber`, `BN`, `string`, `hex` or `actual numbers`. Because the blockchain does not support decimal or negative numbers, any kind of decimal or negative number will cause an error return. All received number values are returned as BN.js object instances.

Read more about the formatting layer here: [ethjs-format](http://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-format)

## Async Only

All methods are `async` only, requiring either a callback or promise.

## Error handling

Error handling is done through function callbacks or promised catches.

## Debugging Options

`ethjs-query` comes equip with a full debug options for all data inputs and outputs.

```js
const HttpProvider = require('ethjs-provider-http');
const Eth = require('@fksyuan/ethjs-query');
const eth = new Eth(new HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'), { debug: true, logger: console, jsonSpace: 0 });

eth.accounts(cb);

/* result

[ethjs-query 2016-11-27T19:37:54.917Z] [method 'accounts'] callback provided: true

*/
```

## Supported Methods
