Web3-gear¶
Web3-gear is used to proxy Thor’ s RESTful API to Eth JSON-RPC, to support Remix, Truffle and more (You should give priority to using Thor’s RESTful API).
Working with Thor Builtins will make Web3-Gear more usable.
Installation¶
On OS x¶
- Python 3.6+ support
- Install the system-dependecies:
brew install openssl
export CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include $CFLAGS"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib $LDFLAGS"

On Ubuntu¶
- Python 3.6+ support

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev python-dev
- Installation of Web3-Gear and it’s dependent Python packages via PyPI:
pip3 install web3-gear
Run¶
Installing through pip will make the web3-gear command available on your machine (must run thor client first.):
web3-gear
This will run web3-gear on 127.0.0.1:8545.
You can change its default behavior with the following parameters:
--host rpc service host, eg: --host 127.0.0.1
--port rpc service port, eg: --port 8545
--endpoint thor restful service endpoint, eg: --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8669
--keystore keystore file path, eg: --keystore /Users/(username)/keystore), default=thor stand-alone(solo) built-in accounts
--passcode passcode of keystore, eg: --passcode xxxxxxxx
Use Truffle¶
- Truffle 4.0.6+ support
Modify the configuration of truffle first(truffle.js):
module.exports = {
networks: {
development: {
host: "localhost",
port: 8545,
network_id: "*" // Match any network id
}
}
};
Then you can use truffle’s command line tool.
There are some projects based on truffle, can use them for testing:
