Get different types of examples as follows.

Example	Description
Wallet	An example of creating and loading a keywallet.
ICX Transfer	An example of transferring ICX and confirming the result.
Token Transfer	An example of deploying an IRC token, transferring the token and confirming the result.
Sync Block	An example of checking block confirmation and printing the ICX and token transfer information.

Prerequisite

This SDK works on the following platforms:

Xcode 10 or higher
iOS 10 or higher
Swift 4.2
Cocoapods

Installation

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Swift Cocoa projects.

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

To integrate ICONKit into your project, specify it in your Podfile

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    use_frameworks!
    ...
    pod 'ICONKit', '~> 0.3.1'
    ...
end

Now install the ICONKit

$ pod install

Using the SDK

Result

ICONKit uses Result framework. All functions of ICONService returns Result<T, ICONResult>. T for successor, ICONResult for error. Refer to Result for more detail.

ICONService

APIs are called through ICONService. It can be initialized as follows.

let iconService = ICONService(provider: "https://ctz.solidwallet.io/api/v3", nid: "0x1")

A simple query of a block by height is as follows.

// ICON Mainnet
let iconService = ICONService(provider: "https://ctz.solidwallet.io/api/v3", nid: "0x1")

// Gets a block matching the block height.
let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getBlock(height: height)
let result = request.execute()

switch result {
case .success(let responseBlock):
    ...
case .failure(let error):
    ...
}

Queries

All queries are requested by a Request<T>.

Synchronous query

execute() requests a query synchronously.

let response = iconService.getLastBlock().execute()

switch response {
case .success(let responseBlock):
    print(responseBlock.blockHash)
    ...
case .failure(let error):
    print(error.errorDescription)
    ...
}

Asynchronous query

You can request a query asynchronously using an async closure as below.

iconService.getLastBlock().async { (result) in
    switch result {
    case .success(let responseBlock):
      print(responseBlock.blockHash)
      ...
    case .failure(let error):
      print(err.errorDescription)
      ...
    }
}

The querying APIs are as follows.

getLastBlock
getBlock(height)
getBlock(hash)
call
getBalance
getScoreAPI
getTotalSupply
getTransaction
getTransactionResult

getLastBlock

Gets the last block information.

let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getLastBlock()

getBlock(height)

Gets block information by block height.

let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getBlock(height: height)

getBlock(hash)

Gets block information by block hash.

let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getBlock(hash: "0x000...000")

call

Calls a SCORE read-only API. Use the return type of method's outputs you want to call in generic type. For example, the type of output that is String use String.

let call = Call<String>(from: wallet.address, to: scoreAddress, method: "name", params: params)
let request: Request<String> = iconService.call(call) 
let response: Result<String, ICError> = request.execute()

If the output type of method is hex String (ex. "0x56bc75e2d63100000"), you can use String and BigUInt too! Just input BigUInt at generic type, then ICONKit convert the output value to BigUInt. If you want to use hex String, use String.

// Using `BigUInt`
let call = Call<BigUInt>(from: wallet.address, to: scoreAddress, method: "balanceOf", params: params)
let request: Request<BigUInt> = iconService.call(call)
let response: Result<BigUInt, ICError> = request.execute() // return 100000000000000000000 or ICError

// Using `String`
let call = Call<String>(from: wallet.address, to: scoreAddress, method: "balanceOf", params: params)
let request: Request<String> = iconService.call(call)
let response: Result<String, ICError> = request.execute() // return "0x56bc75e2d63100000" or ICError

getBalance

Gets the balance of a given account.

let request: Request<BigUInt> = iconService.getBalance(address: "hx000...1")

getScoreAPI

Gets the list of APIs that the given SCORE exposes.

let request: Request<Response.ScoreAPI> = iconService.getScoreAPI(scoreAddress: "cx000...1")

getTotalSupply

Gets the total supply of ICX.

let request: Request<BigUInt> = iconService.getTotalSupply()

getTransaction

Gets a transaction matching the given transaction hash.

let request: Request<Response.TransactionByHashResult> = iconService.getTransaction(hash: "0x000...000")

getTransactionResult

Gets the transaction result requested by transaction hash.

let request: Request<Response.TransactionResult> = iconService.getTransactionResult(hash: "0x000...000")

Transactions

Calling SCORE APIs to change states is requested as sending a transaction.

Before sending a transaction, the transaction should be signed. It can be done using a Wallet object.

Loading wallets and storing the keystore

// Generates a wallet.
let wallet = Wallet(privateKey: nil)

// Load a wallet from the private key.
let privateKey = PrivateKey(hex: data)
let wallet = Wallet(privateKey: privateKey)

// Save wallet keystore.
let wallet = Wallet(privateKey: nil)
do {
    try wallet.generateKeystore(password: "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
    try wallet.save(filepath: "YOUR_STORAGE_PATH")
} catch {
    // handle errors
}
// Load a wallet from the keystore.
do {
    let jsonData: Data = try Data(contentsOf: "YOUR_KEYSTORE_PATH")
    let decoder = JSONDecoder()
    let keystore = try decoder.decoder(Keystore.self, from: jsonData)
    let wallet = Wallet(keystore: keystore, password: "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
} catch {
    // handle errors
}

Creating transactions

// Sending ICX
let coinTransfer = Transaction()
    .from(wallet.address)
    .to(to)
    .value(BigUInt(15000000))
    .stepLimit(BigUInt(1000000))
    .nid(self.iconService.nid)
    .nonce("0x1")

// SCORE function call
let call = CallTransaction()
    .from(wallet.address)
    .to(scoreAddress)
    .stepLimit(BigUInt(1000000))
    .nid(self.iconService.nid)
    .nonce("0x1")
    .method("transfer")
    .params(["_to": to, "_value": "0x1234"])

// Message transfer
let transaction = MessageTransaction()
    .from(wallet.address)
    .to(to)
    .value(BigUInt(15000000))
    .stepLimit(BigUInt(1000000))
    .nonce("0x1")
    .nid(self.iconService.nid)
    .message("Hello, ICON!")

Sending requests

SignedTransaction object signs a transaction using the wallet.

And a request is executed as Synchronized or Asynchronized like a querying request.

Synchronous request

do {
    let signed = try SignedTransaction(transaction: coinTransfer, privateKey: privateKey)
    let request = iconService.sendTransaction(signedTransaction: signed)
    let response = request.execute()

    switch response {
    case .result(let result):
        print("SUCCESS: TXHash - \(result)")
        ...
    case .error(let error):
        print("FAIL: \(error.errorDescription)")
        ...
    }
} catch {
      print(error)
      ...
}

Asynchronous request

do {
    let signed = try SignedTransaction(transaction: coinTransfer, privateKey: privateKey)  
    let request = iconService.sendTransaction(signedTransaction: signed)

    request.async { (result) in
        switch result {
        case .success(let result):
            print(result)
            ...
        case .failure(let error):
            print(error.errorDescription)
            ...
        }
    }
} catch {
    print(error)
}

Utils

ICONKit supports converter functions.

// Convert ICX or gLoop to loop.
let balance: BigUInt = 100
let ICXToLoop: BigUInt = balance.convert() // 100000000000000000000
let gLoopToLoop: BigUInt = balance.convert(unit: .gLoop) // 100000000000

// Convert `BigUInt` value to HEX `String`.
let hexString: String = ICXToLoop.toHexString() // 0x56bc75e2d63100000

// Convert HEX `String` to `BigUInt`.
let hexBigUInt: BigUInt = hexString.hexToBigUInt()! // 100000000000000000000

// Convert HEX `String` to `Date`
let timestamp: NSString = "0x5850adcbaa178"
let confirmedDate: Date = timestamp.hexToDate()! // 2019-03-27 03:16:22 +0000

Code Examples

Wallet

Create a wallet

// Create wallet with new private key.
let wallet = Wallet(privateKey: nil)

// Create wallet with exist private key.
let privateKey = PrivateKey(hex: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_DATA)
let wallet = Wallet(privateKey: privateKey)

Load a wallet

 // Load a wallet from the keystore.
do {
    let jsonData: Data = try Data(contentsOf: "YOUR_KEYSTORE_PATH")
    let decoder = JSONDecoder()
    let keystore = try decoder.decoder(Keystore.self, from: jsonData)
    let wallet = Wallet(keystore: keystore, password: "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
} catch {
    // handle errors
}

Store the wallet

do {
    try wallet.generateKeystore(password: "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
    try wallet.save(filepath: "YOUR_STORAGE_PATH")
} catch {
    // handle errors
}

ICX Transfer

ICX transfer transaction

// Sending ICX
let coinTransfer = Transaction()
    .from(wallet.address)
    .to(to)
    .value(BigUInt(15000000))
    .stepLimit(BigUInt(1000000))
    .nid(self.iconService.nid)
    .nonce("0x1")

do {
    let signed = try SignedTransaction(transaction: coinTransfer, privateKey: privateKey)
    let request = iconService.sendTransaction(signedTransaction: signed)
    let response = request.execute()

    switch response {
    case .result(let result):
        print("SUCCESS: TXHash - \(result)")
        ...
    case .error(let error):
        print("FAIL: \(error.errorDescription)")
        ...
    }
} catch {
      print(error)
      ...
}

Check the transaction result

let request: Request<Response.TransactionResult> = iconService.getTransactionResult(hash: "0x000...000")

let result = request.execute()
switch result {
case .success(let transactionResult):
    print("tx result - \(transactionResult)")

case .failure(let error):
    // handle error
}

Check the ICX balance

let iconService = ICONService(SELECTED_PROVIDER, nid: NID)
let result = iconService.getBalance(address: wallet.address).execute()

switch result {
case .success(let balance):
    print("balance - \(balance)")

case .failure(let error):
    // handle error
}

Token Transfer

Token transfer transaction

let call = CallTransaction()
    .from(wallet.address)
    .to(scoreAddress)
    .stepLimit(BigUInt(1000000))
    .nid(self.iconService.nid)
    .nonce("0x1")
    .method("transfer")
    .params(["_to": to, "_value": "0x1234"])

do {
    let signed = try SignedTransaction(transaction: call, privateKey: privateKey)
    let request = iconService.sendTransaction(signedTransaction: signed)
    let response = request.execute()

    switch response {
    case .result(let result):
        print("SUCCESS: TXHash - \(result)")
        ...
    case .error(let error):
        print("FAIL: \(error.errorDescription)")
        ...
    }
} catch {
      print(error)
      ...
}

Check the token balance

If the output type of method is hex String (ex. "0x56bc75e2d63100000"), you can use String and BigUInt too! Just input BigUInt at generic type, then ICONKit convert the output value to BigUInt. If you want to use hex String, use String.

// Using `BigUInt`
let call = Call<BigUInt>(from: wallet.address, to: scoreAddress, method: "balanceOf", params: params)
let request: Request<BigUInt> = iconService.call(call)
let response: Result<BigUInt, ICError> = request.execute() // return 100000000000000000000 or ICError

// Using `String`
let call = Call<String>(from: wallet.address, to: scoreAddress, method: "balanceOf", params: params)
let request: Request<String> = iconService.call(call)
let response: Result<String, ICError> = request.execute() // return "0x56bc75e2d63100000" or ICError

Sync Block

Read block information

// get last block
let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getLastBlock()
// get block by height
let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getBlock(height: height)
// get block by hash
let request: Request<Response.Block> = iconService.getBlock(hash: "0x000...000")

let result = request.execute()
switch result {
case .success(let block):
    print("block info - \(block)")

case .failure:
    // handle error
}

Transaction output

let request: Request<Response.TransactionByHashResult> = iconService.getTransaction(hash: "0x000...000")

let result = request.execute()
switch result {
case .success(let transaction):
    print("transaction - \(transaction)")

case .failure(let error):
    // handle error
}

Check the token name & symbol

let call = Call<String>(from: wallet.address, to: scoreAddress, method: "name", params: params)
let request: Request<String> = iconService.call(call) 
let response: Result<String, ICError> = request.execute()
