caver.wallet.keyring

caver.wallet.keyring is a package that provides functionality related to Keyring which includes address and private key(s).

Class

Keyring is a structure that contains the address of the account and the private key(s). This is a class in caver-js that allows users to sign on using their own Klaytn's account.

Keyring can be classified into three types depending on the type of key being stored: SingleKeyring to store one address and one private key, MultipleKeyring to store one address and multiple private keys, and RoleBasedKeyring to store one address and one or more private keys for each role.

SingleKeyring

const keyring = new caver.wallet.keyring.singleKeyring(address, key)

SingleKeyring is a class that stores the address of the account and a private key. To create a SingleKeyring instance with a private key string, please refer to caver.wallet.keyring.create.

SingleKeyring uses a private key with which no roles assigned.

Description

address

string

The address of the account.

MultipleKeyring

const keyring = new caver.wallet.keyring.multipleKeyring(address, keys)

MultipleKeyring is a class that stores the address of the account and the multiple private keys. To create a MultipleKeyring instance with private key strings, please refer to caver.wallet.keyring.create.

MultipleKeyring uses private keys with which no roles assigned.

Array

RoleBasedKeyring

const keyring = new caver.wallet.keyring.roleBasedKeyring(address, keys)

RoleBasedKeyring is a class that stores the address of the account and the private keys to be used for each role in the form of an array.

RoleBasedKeyring defines keys which is implemented as a two-dimensional array (empty keys looks like [ [], [], [] ]) that can include multiple keys for each role. The first array element defines the private key(s) for roleTransactionKey, the second defines private key(s) for roleAccountUpdateKey, and the third defines the private key(s) for roleFeePayerKey.

keyring.sign

keyring.sign(transactionHash, chainId, role [, index])

Signs with transactionHash with the private key(s) and returns signature(s). If the user has not defined an index parameter, keyring.sign signs transaction using all the private keys used by the role. If index is defined, the keyring.sign signs transaction using only one private key at the index. The role used in caver-js can be checked through caver.wallet.keyring.role.

When signing transactions, it is recommended to use caver.wallet.sign or transaction.sign.

Parameters

Name

Type

Description

transactionHash

string

The hash string of a transaction to sign.

chainId

string | number

The chain id of the Klaytn blockchain platform.

role

number

A number indicating the role of the key. You can use caver.wallet.keyring.role.

index

number

(optional) The index of the private key you want to use. The index must be less than the length of the array of the private keys defined for each role. If an index is not defined, this method will use all the private keys.

Return Value

keyring.signMessage

keyring.signMessage(message, role [, index])

Signs message with Klaytn-specific prefix. This calculates a Klaytn-specific signature with:

sign(keccak256("\x19Klaytn Signed Message:\n" + len(message) + message)))

If the user has not defined the index parameter, keyring.signMessage signs message with all the private keys used by the role. If the index parameter is given, keyring.signMessage signs message using only one private key at the given index. The role used in caver-js can be found through caver.wallet.keyring.role.

Parameters

Name

Type

Description

message

string

The message to sign.

role
