Ethereum Go Development package (C) Jeffrey Wilcke
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ethereum is currently in its testing phase. The current state is "Proof
|
||
|
|
of Concept 2". For build instructions see the [Wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Edge).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ethereum Go is split up in several sub packages Please refer to each
|
||
|
|
individual package for more information.
|
||
|
|
1. [eth](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go)
|
||
|
|
2. [ethchain](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethchain)
|
||
|
|
3. [ethwire](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethwire)
|
||
|
|
4. [ethdb](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethdb)
|
||
|
|
5. [ethutil](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethutil)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [eth](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go) is the top-level package
|
||
|
|
of the Ethereum protocol. It functions as the Ethereum bootstrapping and
|
||
|
|
peer communication layer. The [ethchain](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethchain)
|
||
|
|
contains the Ethereum blockchain, block manager, transaction and
|
||
|
|
transaction handlers. The [ethwire](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethwire) contains
|
||
|
|
the Ethereum [wire protocol](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Wire_Protocol) which can be used
|
||
|
|
to hook in to the Ethereum network. [ethutil](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethutil) contains
|
||
|
|
utility functions which are not Ethereum specific. The utility package
|
||
|
|
contains the [patricia trie](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Patricia_Tree),
|
||
|
|
[RLP Encoding](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/RLP) and hex encoding
|
||
|
|
helpers. The [ethdb](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-go/tree/master/ethdb) package
|
||
|
|
contains the LevelDB interface and memory DB interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the bootstrap package. Eth-go contains all the necessary code to
|
||
|
|
get a node and connectivity going.

||
|

Build

|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the Developer package. For the development client please see
|
||
|
|
[Ethereum(G)](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`go get -u github.com/ethereum/eth-go`

Contribution
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you'd like to contribute to Ethereum Go please fork, fix, commit and
|
||
|
|
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
|
||
|
|
are ignored.

|
Coding standards
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sources should be formatted according to the [Go Formatting
|
||
|
|
Style](http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unless structs fields are supposed to be directly accesible, provide
|
||
|
|
Getters and hide the fields through Go's exporting facility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you comment put meaningfull comments. Describe in detail what you
|
||
|
|
want to achieve.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*wrong*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
// Check if the value at x is greater than y
|
||
|
|
if x > y {
|
||
|
|
// It's greater!
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Everyone reading the source probably know what you wanted to achieve
|
||
|
|
with above code. Those are **not** meaningful comments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While the project isn't 100% tested I want you to write tests non the
|
||
|
|
less. I haven't got time to evaluate everyone's code in detail so I
|
||
|
|
expect you to write tests for me so I don't have to test your code
|
||
|
|
manually. (If you want to contribute by just writing tests that's fine
|
||
|
|
too!)
