1075 RPC additions and cleanup of README (#1117)
* Rewrite of README for clarity and expanding implementation table

* Small cleanups for web3_api.go

* Changed GetReceipts function to non-export (getRecipts) and cleaned up comments

* Added a comment for GetLogsByHash

* Add support for eth_protocolVersion and eth_chainId

* Adding comments and re-ordering fields to agree with Parity's ordering

* Added support for eth_listening. Moved net_version to same file as others

* Setup for adding eth_gasPrice

Introduction

turbo-geth's rpcdaemon runs in its own seperate process.

This brings many benefits including easier development, the ability to run multiple daemons at once, and the ability to run the daemon remotely. It is possible to run the daemon locally as well (read-only) if both processes have access to the data folder.

Getting Started

The rpcdaemon gets built as part of the main turbo-geth build process, but you can build it directly with this command:

make rpcdaemon

Running locally

If you have direct access to turbo-geth's database folder, you may run the rpcdaemon locally. This may provide faster results.

After building, run this command to start the daemon locally:

./build/bin/rpcdaemon --chaindata ~/Library/TurboGeth/tg/chaindata --http.api=eth,debug,net,web3

Note that we've also specified which RPC commands to enable in the above command.

Running remotely

To start the daemon remotely, build it as described above, then run turbo-geth in one terminal window:

./build/bin/tg --private.api.addr=localhost:9090

In another terminal window, start the daemon with the same --private-api setting:

./build/bin/rpcdaemon --private.api.addr=localhost:9090

The daemon should respond with something like:

INFO [date-time] HTTP endpoint opened url=localhost:8545...

Testing

By default, the rpcdaemon serves data from localhost:8545. You may send curl commands to see if things are working.

Try eth_blockNumber for example. In a third terminal window enter this command:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_blockNumber", "params": [], "id":1}' localhost:8545

This should return something along the lines of this (depending on how far your turbo-geth node has synced):

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "result":" 0xa5b9ba"
}

For Developers

Code generation

go.mod stores right version of generators, use make grpc to install it and generate code.

Recommended protoc version is 3.x. Installation instructions
