How to Interact With Wallets
Getting Started
Almost all plugins will need to access wallets in one way or another. Core rebuilds all wallets from scratch based on transactions when it restarts and manages those wallets in-memory through the WalletManager that is exposed by core-database.
Since 2.0 all interactions with wallets happen only in-memory as opposed to through the database like with 1.0.
Accessing Wallets
Below you can find a few examples of how to access wallets in different ways and perform checks on them.
import { app } from "@swipechain/core-container";
const walletManager = app.resolvePlugin("database").walletManager;
// This will contain all wallets that have an address
walletManager.allByAddress();
// This will contain all wallets that have a public key. This can differ from "allByAddress" as cold wallets have no addresses.
walletManager.allByPublicKey();
// This will contain all wallets that have a username, i.e. delegates.
walletManager.allByUsername();
// Retrieve a wallet by its address.
walletManager.findByAddress("ARMy9u1XvrZ124JzQq3oeJpjmBEnYkyU7D");
// Retrieve a wallet by its public key.
walletManager.findByPublicKey(
"035217d8ff31d78992e0821667fed6d9298d2b923cd63b650e894e0bf11a0a6d7a"
);
// Retrieve a wallet by its username.
walletManager.findByUsername("boldninja");
// Check if a wallet for the given address is indexed.
walletManager.exists("ARMy9u1XvrZ124JzQq3oeJpjmBEnYkyU7D");
// Check if the given public is a delegate, i.e. it has a username.
walletManager.isDelegate(
"035217d8ff31d78992e0821667fed6d9298d2b923cd63b650e894e0bf11a0a6d7a"
);
IMPORTANT
All wallets are based on in-memory transactions. They are not stored in the database!
Conclusion
This guide should give you a rough idea about how to access wallets from within your plugins through the WalletManager to build feature-rich plugins.
WARNING
Do not modify in-memory wallets through plugins as this can result in your node going out of sync or have other unwanted side-effects. Treat the wallet manager as a read-only entity!
