How to Interact With the Transaction Pool
Getting Started
The core-transaction-pool
package manages everything that is related to transactions. It usually receives its data from the core-api
or core-p2p
packages when they received new transactions.
Manual usage of the transaction pool methods should be avoided unless you are an experienced developer with core and understand potential consequences.
Interacting With the Transaction Pool
import { app } from "@swipechain/core-container";
const transactionPool = app.resolvePlugin("transaction-pool");
async function callTransactionPoolMethods() {
// Get all transfer transactions from the pool.
transactionPool.getTransactionsByType(0);
// Get the number of transactions in the pool.
transactionPool.getPoolSize();
// Get the number of transactions in the pool from a specific sender.
transactionPool.getSenderSize();
// Add many transactions to the pool. The input should be an array of Transaction model instances from the @swipechain/crypto package.
// Internally only data that has been verified by the transaction guard will enter the pool so make sure all of your data is verified.
transactionPool.addTransactions([transaction, transaction, transaction]);
// Add a transaction to the pool. The input should be a Transaction model instance from the @swipechain/crypto package.
transactionPool.addTransaction(transaction);
// Remove a transaction from the pool based on a Transaction model instance.
transactionPool.removeTransaction(transaction);
// Remove a transaction from the pool by id.
transactionPool.removeTransactionById();
// Get 150 transactions that are ready to be forged.
transactionPool.getTransactionsForForging(150);
// Get a transaction by transaction id.
transactionPool.getTransaction();
// Get all transactions within the specified range [start, start + size), ordered by fee.
transactionPool.getTransactions(start, size);
// Get all transactions within the specified range [start, start + size).
transactionPool.getTransactionIdsForForging(start, size);
// Get data from all transactions within the specified range [start, start + size).
transactionPool.getTransactionsData(start, size);
// Remove all transactions from the transaction pool belonging to specific sender.
transactionPool.removeTransactionsForSender(senderPublicKey);
// Check whether the sender of the transactions has exceeded the maximum nmber of transactions in queue.
transactionPool.hasExceededMaxTransactions(transaction);
// Flush the pool (delete all transactions from it).
transactionPool.flush();
// Checks if a transaction exists in the pool.
transactionPool.transactionExists(transactionId);
// Check if transaction sender is blocked.
transactionPool.isSenderBlocked(senderPublicKey);
// Blocks sender for a specified time.
transactionPool.blockSender(senderPublicKey);
// Purges all transactions from the given sender.
transactionPool.purgeByPublicKey(senderPublicKey);
// Purges all transactions from senders with at least one invalid transaction.
transactionPool.purgeSendersWithInvalidTransactions(block);
// Check whether a given sender has any transactions of the specified type in the pool.
transactionPool.senderHasTransactionsOfType(senderPublicKey);
}
callTransactionPoolMethods();
Conclusion
This guide should give you a rough idea of how to interact with the transaction pool.
You should generally treat the transaction pool as a read-only entity when interacting with it through your plugin to avoid any unwanted side-effects unless you are experienced and know how to handle issues..
