How to handle the account after create account.

[superhero2007]

const abc = require('edge-core-js');
const context = await abc.makeEdgeContext({
apiKey: API_KEY,
appId: APP_ID,
});
const { username, password } = user;
const re = await abcContext.loginWithPassword(
username,
password
);
console.log("Result:", re);

But I can't get edgeaccount after login though there is a new folder called edge wallet created and login account file is created.

I have tried to use as follows.

context.on('login', async (account) => console.log(account));

But there is no console log output and it seems there is no connection via login emit.

How can handle logged accounts as a response?
async/await, then, and socket on are not working.

The re in your first example should either be the EdgeAccount, or it should be an error explaining the problem. The loginWithPassword method returns a promise of an EdgeAccount.

For your second point, the on('login', ...) event is related to barcode login, specifically. It would not fire for password login.

Thanks for your response to my request.

I tried to use 3 methods.

• abcContext.createAccount
• abcContext.loginWithPasword
• abcContext.loginWithPIN

It seems all these 3 methods are working, but I can't get any response.
Just getting usernames by calling abcContext.localUsers.

I wonder how to handle EageAccount to createWallet or getWalletInfo.
Is there any method to use EdgeAccount?

EdgeAccount has many methods. Take a look at the Flow types to see their definitions:

edge-core-js/src/types/types.js

Line 772 in 4bf7864

export type EdgeAccount = {

If you call createCurrencyWallet('wallet:ethereum', { name: 'My Wallet' }), the account will create an Ethereum wallet (assuming you have the Ethereum plugin installed). The createCurrencyWallet will return an EdgeCurrencyWallet object, which you can use to check balances and send / receive money. Take a look at the types to see which methods are available.

All the wallets you create will go into the EdgeAccount.activeWalletIds array which tells you how many wallets you have and what order they are in. This array will be loaded instantly when the account logs in. Then, once login finishes, the core will start actually loading wallets (this can take a long time, so we don't want it to delay login). As the wallets load, they will appear in the EdgeAccount.currencyWallets table. If you would like to grab a particular wallet, you can either wait for it to appear in the EdgeAccount.currencyWallets table, or you can call EdgeAccount.waitForCurrencyWallet(walletId), to get the wallet back in a promise.

Sorry, but we are not on the same page right now.

I know that there are several methods for wallet using EdgeAccount.

But I think there is no method to handle EdgeAccount.

• abcContext.createAccount
• abcContext.loginWithPasword
• abcContext.loginWithPIN

I tried to use the above 3 methods but can't get any response.

Also regarding createCurrencyWallet,
Plugins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple plugins are working on airbitz-core-js but on edge-core-js, it seems plugins are not installing, and there is no currency info on the account.

[superhero2007]

{ init:
[ { pluginType: 'currency',
pluginName: 'ethereum',
makePlugin: [AsyncFunction: makePlugin] } ],
locked: false,
currency: {},
rate: {},
swap: {},
currencyTools: {} }

[swansontec]

Just for future reference, we found that the problem was lockEdgeCorePlugins. The edge-core-js library is designed to allow plugins to load in parallel, so code like this needs to run at some point during setup:

addEdgeCorePlugins(...)
addEdgeCorePlugins(...)
lockEdgeCorePlugins(...)

Once the lockEdgeCorePlugins call takes place, the plugin list is complete and login can proceed. If lockEdgeCorePlugins isn't called anywere, logging in will wait forever for the plugins to finish loading.

Also, addEdgeCorePlugins just makes the plugins available. To actually use them, you need to pass them to makeEdgeContext as a plugins option, like makeEdgeContext{ ...otherStuff, plugins: { pluginName: true } }

Thanks for your note, @swansontec

After login, I logout using account.logout(), then, I got a connection lost error and my project is broken.

Is there any way to log out safety?

And sometimes, I got an web socket connection error before make transactions using makespend method.

I think this is the same problem.

[swansontec]

The account.logout() method should be safe, and the Edge wallet uses it with no problems. Logging out completely shuts down all wallets & account-related objects. Is that what you mean when you say "my project is broken"? If so, don't log out until you are done using the account and all its contents.

Hello @superhero2007,
