Perun Ethereum Payment Client

This project provides a simplified interface to the go-perun framework. It enables developers to get started quickly with go-perun by using a condensed API.
If you just want to create a go-perun payment application on Ethereum, this is for you.

Primer

You can import perun-eth-payment as go module:

import "github.com/perun-network/perun-eth-payment"

Here is an example with the most important functions.
It sets up the framework, opens a channel to Bob, sends him 0.5 ETH, waits for a return payment and shuts down.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"math/big"
	"time"

	"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/common"
	ethwallet "perun.network/go-perun/backend/ethereum/wallet"
	payment "github.com/perun-network/perun-eth-payment"
)

func main() {
	// Initialize mnemonic wallet
	wallet, err := payment.NewWalletHD(big.NewInt(5), "your mnemonic", 1)
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }
	
	// Setup config struct and client
	config := payment.MakeConfig("127.0.0.1:6444", "ws://127.0.0.1:8454", 60 * time.Second)
	client, err := payment.NewClient(wallet, config)
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }
	// Long context that will be used from now on
	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10 * time.Minute)
	defer cancel()

	// Set the contract addresses of the Adjudicator and Assetholder
	client.Init(ctx, common.HexToAddress("0x20e1D1642284AdB74520f0e91835bbc6d5ec3415"),
			         common.HexToAddress("0x3f6629d37E84E6Da88978198c9A1B228C5722085"))
	
	// Register the peer that we want to open a channel with.
	bobAddr := ethwallet.AsWalletAddr(common.HexToAddress("0xB5d05705c467bfEd944B6769A689c7766CC1f805"))
	bob, err := client.RegisterPeer(bobAddr, "192.168.2.100:6444", "Bob")
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }

	// Set the initial balance for the channel and open it.
	initBals := payment.MakeBals(payment.MakeAmountFromETH(1), payment.MakeAmountFromETH(1))
	channel, err := client.ProposeChannel(ctx, bob, initBals)
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }

	// Send 0.5 ETH to Bob
	err = channel.Send(ctx, payment.MakeAmountFromETH(0.5))
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }
	// Wait for Bob to send us something back
	received := <-channel.Received()
	fmt.Printf("Received %v ETH from Bob", received.ETH())

	// Close the channel and client at the end
	err = channel.Close(ctx)
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }
	err = client.Close(ctx)
	if err != nil { /* handle error */ }
}
