Overview

ExW3 is a wrapper around ethereumex to provide a high level, user friendly json rpc api. It currently only supports Http. The primary feature it provides is a handy abstraction for working with smart contracts.

Usage

Ensure you have an ethereum node to connect to at the specified url in your config. An easy local testnet to use is ganache-cli:

ganache-cli

Make sure your config includes:

config :ethereumex,
  url: "http://localhost:8545"

Currently, ExW3 supports a handful of json rpc commands. Mostly just the useful ones. If it doesn't support a specific commands you can always use the Ethereumex commands.
