## [![NPM Package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@stowprotocol/stow-js.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@stowprotocol/stow-js) ![Build Status](https://circleci.com/gh/ConsenSys/stow-js.png?circle-token=:circle-token&style=shield)

# StowJS

## Quickstart

```javascript
const Web3 = require("web3");
const Stow = require("@stowprotocol/stow-js");

const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:7545"));

const stow = new Stow(web3);

// get the deployed contracts
const { _, users, records, permissions } = await stow.getContractInstances();
```

## Installation

You can install using npm:

```bash
npm i @stowprotocol/stow-js
```

or add inject the library onto the `window` using a script tag:

```html
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@stowprotocol/stow-js-script-tag@0.3.7/dist/index.min.js"></script>
```

## Building

```
npm run build
```

The compiled library is generated in `lib`, which you can require by typing `require('./lib')`

# Append data to Stow

In order to append data to Stow, your web3 instance need to be able to sign with the private key of the owner of the data.

## stow.addRecordWithReward

```javascript
stow.addRecordWithReward(dataHash, metadata, dataUri, ethParams);
```

Add record to Stow and receive a small reward of stow tokens.  This requires an optional parameter
to be set in the constructor as follows: 

`new Stow(web3, (tokenAddress: 0x4cdfbdec0aa003116bf030f249a8a7285cd6a184))`


### Parameters

1. `String` - The data hash. Hash of the plain text data + metadata
2. `Object` - The metadata of the record. [Click here to read more about the metadata](https://github.com/ConsenSys/stow-resources/blob/master/METADATA.md)
3. `String` - The dataUri, link to the data (eg. the IPFS hash)
4. `Object` - The ethParams, ethereum account params. (The object need to contain the key 'from')

### Returns

`Promise<Record>` - A promise when resolved returns the record object that was stored.

## stow.addRecord

```javascript
stow.addRecord(dataHash, metadata, dataUri, ethParams);
```

Add record to Stow

### Parameters

1. `String` - The data hash. Hash of the plain text data + metadata
2. `Object` - The metadata of the record. [Click here to read more about the metadata](https://github.com/ConsenSys/stow-resources/blob/master/METADATA.md)
3. `String` - The dataUri, link to the data (eg. the IPFS hash)
4. `Object` - The ethParams, ethereum account params. (The object need to contain the key 'from')

### Returns

`Promise<Record>` - A promise when resolved returns the record object that was stored.

### Append data using Stow Js in the browser

 If you are using a Stow Js in the browser you can create the Stow instance with the web3 object from Metamask and append a record the following way:

### Example

```javascript
const Stow = require("@stowprotocol/stow-js");
const stow = new Stow(web3);

const dataHash = "0xcc85fc3d763b9a1d83e4386b37b4b0f3daf9881638ba8b7db0c501c417acb689";
const metadata = {
    dataFormat: "json",
    domain: "social media",
    storage: "IPFS",
    encryptionScheme: "x25519-xsalsa20-poly1305",
    encryptionPublicKey: "hQYhHJpzZH/tGhz1wtqSjkL17tJSnEEC4yVGyNTHNQY=",
    stowjsVersion: "0.1.4",
    providerName: "SocialMedia",
    providerEthereumAddress: "0x349e31e92027f86b0ffeb5cd5e07003c7f229872",
    keywords: [ "socialmedia", "friends list", "people" ],
    creationDate: new Date(Date.UTC(96, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
};
const dataUri = "QmSg3jCiroFERczWdpFJUau5CofHfMKCSm5vZXSzn7sZGW";
const ethParams = {
    from: "0xb717d7adf0d19f5f48bb7ff0030e30fcd19eed72", gas: 500000, gasPrice: 20000000000
};

const record = await stow.addRecord(dataHash, metadata, dataUri, ethParams);
```

In the example above the dataUri is the IPFS Hash where the file was stored.

### Append data using Stow Js outside of the browser

In order to add a file you need to generate a web3 instance that can handle the private keys of the owner of the file.

### Example

```javascript
const Stow = require("@stowprotocol/stow-js");
const HDWalletProvider = require('truffle-hdwallet-provider');

// HERE YOU NEED TO ADD THE PRIVATE KEYS OF THE OWNERS
const privKeys = [privkey1, privkey2, ...]
                  
// HERE YOU NEED TO ADD THE PROVIDER, YOU COULD GET AND INFURA KEY AND PUT IT BELOW 
// OR USE ANY ETH PROVIDER
const provider = 'https://ropsten.infura.io/INFURA_KEY'
const hdWalletProvider = new HDWalletProvider(privKeys, provider);
const web3 = new Web3(hdWalletProvider);

const stow = new Stow(web3);

const dataHash = "0xcc85fc3d763b9a1d83e4386b37b4b0f3daf9881638ba8b7db0c501c417acb689";
const metadata = {
    dataFormat: "json",
    domain: "social media",
    storage: "IPFS",
    encryptionScheme: "x25519-xsalsa20-poly1305",
    encryptionPublicKey: "hQYhHJpzZH/tGhz1wtqSjkL17tJSnEEC4yVGyNTHNQY=",
    stowjsVersion: "0.1.4",
    providerName: "SocialMedia",
    providerEthereumAddress: "0x349e31e92027f86b0ffeb5cd5e07003c7f229872",
    keywords: [ "socialmedia", "friends list", "people" ],
    creationDate: new Date(Date.UTC(96, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
};
const dataUri = "QmSg3jCiroFERczWdpFJUau5CofHfMKCSm5vZXSzn7sZGW";
const ethParams = {
    from: "0xb717d7adf0d19f5f48bb7ff0030e30fcd19eed72", gas: 500000, gasPrice: 20000000000
};

const record = await stow.addRecord(dataHash, metadata, dataUri, ethParams);
```

# Attest data on Stow

Attest data on Stow means sign a record and verify that contain legitimate and correct information.

## stow.signRecord

```javascript
stow.signRecord(dataHash, ethParams);
```

Attest a record to Stow

### Parameters

1. `String` - The data hash, hex-encoded, 0x prefixed
2. `Object` - The ethParams, ethereum account params. (The object need to contain the key 'from')

### Returns

`Promise<Attestation>` - A promise when resolved returns the Attestation that was added.

### Example

```javascript
const Stow = require("@stowprotocol/stow-js");
const stow = new Stow(web3);

const dataHash = "0xcc85fc3d763b9a1d83e4386b37b4b0f3daf9881638ba8b7db0c501c417acb689";
const ethParams = {
    from: "0xb717d7adf0d19f5f48bb7ff0030e30fcd19eed72", gas: 500000, gasPrice: 20000000000
};

const attestation = await stow.signRecord(dataHash, ethParams);
```
