Overview

TransactionBuilder can be used to create a transaction that the NetworkBroadcastApi can broadcast to the rest of the platform. The main feature of this class is the ability to cryptographically sign the transaction so that it conforms to the consensus rules that are required by the blockchain.

wif = '5JrvPrQeBBvCRdjv29iDvkwn3EQYZ9jqfAHzrCyUvfbEbRkrYFC'
builder = Steem::TransactionBuilder.new(wif: wif)
builder.put(vote: {
  voter: 'alice',
  author: 'bob',
  permlink: 'my-burgers',
  weight: 10000
})

trx = builder.transaction
network_broadcast_api = Steem::CondenserApi.new
network_broadcast_api.broadcast_transaction_synchronous(trx: trx)

The ‘wif` value may also be an array, when signing with multiple signatures (multisig).

#prepare ⇒ TransactionBuilder

If the transaction can be prepared, this method will do so and set the expiration. Once the expiration is set, it will not re-prepare. If you call #put, the expiration is set Nil so that it can be re-prepared.

Usually, this method is called automatically by #put and/or #transaction.

#put(type, op = nil) ⇒ TransactionBuilder

A quick and flexible way to append a new operation to the transaction. This method uses ducktyping to figure out how to form the operation.

There are three main ways you can call this method. These assume that ‘op_type` is a Symbol (or String) representing the type of operation and `op` is the operation Hash.

put(op_type, op)

… or …

put(op_type => op)

… or …

put([op_type, op])

You can also chain multiple operations:

builder = Steem::TransactionBuilder.new
builder.put(vote: vote1).put(vote: vote2)

Returns:

  prepare
  self
end

#required_signatures ⇒ Array

This API will take a partially signed transaction and a set of public keys that the owner has the ability to sign for and return the minimal subset of public keys that should add signatures to the transaction.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    The minimal subset of public keys that should add signatures to the transaction.
