<h1>Client RPC API tutorial<a class="headerlink" href="#client-rpc-api-tutorial" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>In this tutorial we will build a simple command line utility that
connects to a node, creates some Cash transactions and meanwhile dumps
the transaction graph to the standard output. We will then put some
simple visualisation on top. For an explanation on how the RPC works
see <a class="reference internal" href="clientrpc.html"><span class="doc">Client RPC</span></a>.</p>
<p>We start off by connecting to the node itself. For the purposes of the tutorial we will use the Driver to start up a notary and a node that issues/exits and moves Cash around for herself. To authenticate we will use the certificates of the nodes directly.</p>
<p>Note how we configure the node to create a user that has permission to start the CashFlow.</p>

</div>
<p>Now we can connect to the node itself using a valid RPC login. We login using the configured user.</p>
<div class="highlight-kotlin"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> <span class="k">val</span> <span class="py">client</span> <span class="p">=</span> <span class="n">node</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="n">rpcClientToNode</span><span class="p">()</span>

<span class="n">generateTransactions</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">proxy</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>We start generating transactions in a different thread (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">generateTransactions</span></code> to be defined later) using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">proxy</span></code>, which exposes the full RPC interface of the node:</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p class="last">This API is evolving and will continue to grow as new functionality and features added to Corda are made available to RPC clients.</p>
</div>
<p>The one we need in order to dump the transaction graph is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">verifiedTransactions</span></code>. The type signature tells us that the
RPC will return a list of transactions and an Observable stream. This is a general pattern, we query some data and the
node will return the current snapshot and future updates done to it. Observables are described in further detail in
<a class="reference internal" href="clientrpc.html"><span class="doc">Client RPC</span></a></p>
<div class="highlight-kotlin"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> val (transactions: List&lt;SignedTransaction&gt;, futureTransactions: Observable&lt;SignedTransaction&gt;) = proxy.verifiedTransactions()
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The graph will be defined by nodes and edges between them. Each node represents a transaction and edges represent
output-input relations. For now let&#8217;s just print <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">NODE</span> <span class="pre">&lt;txhash&gt;</span></code> for the former and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EDGE</span> <span class="pre">&lt;txhash&gt;</span> <span class="pre">&lt;txhash&gt;</span></code> for the
latter.</p>
<div class="highlight-kotlin"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> <span class="k">when</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">printOrVisualise</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span>

</div>
<p>Now we just need to create the transactions themselves!</p>

<p>We utilise several RPC functions here to query things like the notaries in the node cluster or our own vault.</p>
<p>Then in a loop we generate randomly either an Issue, a Pay or an Exit transaction.</p>
<p>The RPC we need to initiate a Cash transaction is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">startFlowDynamic</span></code> which may start an arbitrary flow, given sufficient permissions to do so. We won&#8217;t use this function directly, but rather a type-safe wrapper around it <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">startFlow</span></code> that type-checks the arguments for us.</p>
<p>Finally we have everything in place: we start a couple of nodes, connect to them, and start creating transactions while listening on successfully created ones, which are dumped to the console. We just need to run it!:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span># Build the example
./gradlew docs/source/example-code:installDist
# Start it
./docs/source/example-code/build/install/docs/source/example-code/bin/client-rpc-tutorial Print
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now let&#8217;s try to visualise the transaction graph. We will use a graph drawing library called <a class="reference external" href="http://graphstream-project.org/">graphstream</a></p>

<p>If we run the client with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Visualise</span></code> we should see a simple random graph being drawn as new transactions are being created.</p>

<div class="section" id="security">
<h2>Security<a class="headerlink" href="#security" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>RPC credentials associated with a Client must match the permission set configured on the server Node.
This refers to both authentication (username and password) and role-based authorisation (a permissioned set of RPC operations an
authenticated user is entitled to run).</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Permissions are represented as <em>String&#8217;s</em> to allow RPC implementations to add their own permissioning.
Currently the only permission type defined is <em>StartFlow</em>, which defines a list of whitelisted flows an authenticated use may execute.</p>
</div>
<p>In the instructions above the server node permissions are configured programmatically in the driver code:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>driver(driverDirectory = baseDirectory) {
val user = User(&quot;user&quot;, &quot;password&quot;, permissions = setOf(startFlowPermission&lt;CashFlow&gt;()))
val node = startNode(&quot;Alice&quot;, rpcUsers = listOf(user)).get()
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When starting a standalone node using a configuration file we must supply the RPC credentials as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>rpcUsers : [
{ user=user, password=password, permissions=[ StartFlow.net.corda.flows.CashFlow ] }
]
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When using the gradle Cordformation plugin to configure and deploy a node you must supply the RPC credentials in a similar manner:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>rpcUsers = [
[&#39;user&#39; : &quot;user&quot;,
&#39;password&#39; : &quot;password&quot;,
&#39;permissions&#39; : [&quot;StartFlow.net.corda.flows.CashFlow&quot;]]
]
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can then deploy and launch the nodes (Notary and Alice) as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span># to create a set of configs and installs under ``docs/source/example-code/build/nodes`` run
./gradlew docs/source/example-code:deployNodes
# to open up two new terminals with the two nodes run
./docs/source/example-code/build/nodes/runnodes
# followed by the same commands as before:
./docs/source/example-code/build/install/docs/source/example-code/bin/client-rpc-tutorial Print
./docs/source/example-code/build/install/docs/source/example-code/bin/client-rpc-tutorial Visualise
