iExec SDK V2

Build Status npm version npm version license Twitter Follow

The iExec SDK is a CLI and a JS library that allows developers to interact with iExec decentralized marketplace in order to run off-chain computations.

Resources

Install

All three major OS are supported (linux, OSX, windows).

Using Nodejs

Requirements: npm version and Git.

npm -g install iexec # install the cli
iexec --version
iexec --help

Using Docker

Requirements: Docker.

# For Linux users
echo 'alias iexec='"'"'docker run -e DEBUG=$DEBUG --interactive --tty --rm -v /tmp:/tmp -v $(pwd):/iexec-project -w /iexec-project iexechub/iexec-sdk'"'"'' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
# For Mac OSX users
echo 'alias iexec='"'"'docker run -e DEBUG=$DEBUG --interactive --tty --rm -v /tmp:/tmp -v $(pwd):/iexec-project -w /iexec-project iexechub/iexec-sdk'"'"'' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile

Now run iexec --version to check all is working.

Upgrade

  • Nodejs: run npm -g install iexec
  • Docker: run docker pull iexechub/iexec-sdk

Init project

required steps before following any other workflow.

iexec init # create all required files
iexec wallet getETH # ask faucet for ETH
iexec wallet getRLC # ask iExec faucet for RLC
iexec account deposit 200 # deposit nRLC on your iExec account, so you can buy orders
iexec wallet show
iexec account show

Deploy an app

iexec app count # check if you have already deployed apps
iexec app init # reset app fields in iexec.json
iexec app deploy # deploy app on Ethereum
iexec app show # show details of deployed app

Buy & Run work using Marketplace

iexec order init --buy # init work order fields in iexec.json
vi iexec.json # edit iexec.json and customize the buy order fields. Particularly work params field.
iexec orderbook show --category 5 # show orderbook and choose an order ID
iexec order fill <orderID> # fill order using its ID

iexec.json

The iexec.json file, located in every iExec project, describes the parameters used when creating a [app|datasetcategory|workerPool], or when submitting a work.

{
  "app": {
    "name": "next-dapp1",
    "price": 1,
    "params": {
      "type": "DOCKER",
      "envvars": "XWDOCKERIMAGE=ericro/face-recognition"

}

chains.json

The chains.json file, located in every iExec project, describes the parameters used when communicating with ethereum nodes and iExec schedulers. They are ordered by chain name, accessible by using the --chain <chainName> option for each command of the SDK.

iExec SDK CLI fork/spawn

If your program is not written in javascript, your last option to use the SDK would be to spawn it as a seperate process (sometimes called FORK operation). After each SDK run you should check the exit code returned by the SDK to know if the operation was sucessfull or not echo $?:

  • 0 = successful
  • 1 = error

Finally, you could choose to parse the SDK stdout/stderr to access more information. ex:

  • iexec orderbook show &> out.txt
  • iexec orderbook show |& grep .

Warning:

  • The stdout/stderr is subject to changes (this is what makes this solution brittle)
  • The node and docker version have some slight differences in their stdout/stderr
