Use the multi-node example in the web3js-quorum client library

To use the examples provided in the web3js-quorum library with your privacy network:

note

This example uses 3 of the 4 nodes configured in the privacy tutorial.

  1. Clone the ConsenSys/web3js-quorum repository:

    git clone https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3js-quorum

  2. In the web3js-quorum directory:

    npm install

  3. In the example directory, update the keys.js file to include:

  4. In the example/multiNodeExample directory, deploy the contract:

    node deployContract.js

    A private transaction receipt returns.

    If you receive a Method not enabled error, ensure you enabled the appropriate APIs using the --rpc-http-api

  5. Copy the contract address from the private transaction receipt and set the CONTRACT_ADDRESS environment variable:

    export CONTRACT_ADDRESS=<Contract Address from Private Transaction Receipt>
    example
    export CONTRACT_ADDRESS=0xfee84481da8f4b9a998dfacb38091b3145bb01ab

  6. Store a value in the contract from Node 1:

    node storeValueFromNode1.js

    Node 1 stores the value of 1000 (3e8 in hex) and is visible to Node 1 and Node 2.

  7. Store a value in the contract from Node 2:

    node storeValueFromNode2.js

    Node 2 stores the value of 42 (2a in hex) and is visible to Node 1 and Node 2.

    note

    As expected, log messages indicate that Node 3 Tessera cannot find payloads because Node 3 does not have access to the private transactions between Node 1 and Node 2.
