Installation and Usage

The build system now is fully gradle-based, so to build the driver run:

./gradlew install

or use maven

mvn clean install

Set up your configuration

BigchainDbConfigBuilder
	.baseUrl("https://test.ipdb.io")
	.addToken("app_id", "2bbaf3ff")
	.addToken("app_key", "c929b708177dcc8b9d58180082029b8d").setup();

Example: Create a Transaction

//    prepare your keys
net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.KeyPairGenerator edDsaKpg = new net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.KeyPairGenerator();
KeyPair keyPair = edDsaKpg.generateKeyPair();

//    Set up your transaction
Transaction transaction = BigchainDbTransactionBuilder.init()
	.addAsset("firstname", "John")
	.addAsset("lastname", "Smith")
	.addMetaData("what", "My first BigchainDB transaction")
	.addMetaData("this", "My 1st metadata BigchainDB transaction")
	.operation(Operations.CREATE)
	.buildOnly((EdDSAPublicKey) keyPair.getPublic(), (EdDSAPrivateKey) keyPair.getPrivate());

Example: Create and Sign Transaction

//    prepare your keys
net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.KeyPairGenerator edDsaKpg = new net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.KeyPairGenerator();
KeyPair keyPair = edDsaKpg.generateKeyPair();

//    Set up your transaction
Transaction transaction = BigchainDbTransactionBuilder.init()
	.addAsset("firstname", "John")
	.addAsset("lastname", "Smith")
	.addMetaData("what", "My second BigchainDB transaction")
	.addMetaData("this", "My 2nd metadata BigchainDB transaction")
	.operation(Operations.CREATE)
	.buildAndSignOnly((EdDSAPublicKey) keyPair.getPublic(), (EdDSAPrivateKey) keyPair.getPrivate());

Example: Create, Sign and Send a Transaction

//    prepare your keys
net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.KeyPairGenerator edDsaKpg = new net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.KeyPairGenerator();
KeyPair keyPair = edDsaKpg.generateKeyPair();

//    Set up your transaction
Transaction transaction = BigchainDbTransactionBuilder.init()
	.addAsset("firstname", "John")
	.addAsset("lastname", "Smith")
	.addMetaData("what", "My third BigchainDB transaction")
	.addMetaData("this", "My 3rd metadata BigchainDB transaction")
	.buildAndSign((EdDSAPublicKey) keyPair.getPublic(), (EdDSAPrivateKey) keyPair.getPrivate())
	.sendTransaction();

Example: Setup Config with Websocket Listener

public class MyCustomMonitor implements MessageHandler {
	@Override
	public void handleMessage(String message) {
		ValidTransaction validTransaction = JsonUtils.fromJson(message, ValidTransaction.class);
	}
}

// config
BigchainDbConfigBuilder
	.baseUrl("https://test.ipdb.io")
	.addToken("app_id", "2bbaf3ff")
	.addToken("app_key", "c929b708177dcc8b9d58180082029b8d")
	.webSocketMonitor(new MyCustomMonitor())
	.setup();
