State methods

The State methods are used to query, inspect, and interact with chain state. All methods take a TipSetKey as a parameter. The state looked up is the state at that tipset. A nil TipSetKey can be provided as a param, this will cause the heaviest tipset in the chain to be used.

The state methods can be used after you instantiate a LotusClient.

The methods cand be found here.

Setup example

Node JavaScript/TypeScript:

import { HttpJsonRpcConnector, HttpJsonRpcWalletProvider } from 'filecoin.js';

(async () => {

  const connector = new HttpJsonRpcConnector({ url: __LOTUS_RPC_ENDPOINT__, token: __LOTUS_AUTH_TOKEN__ });
  const lotusClient = new LotusClient(connector);

  const networkName = await lotusClient.state.networkName();

})().then().catch();

Browser:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/filecoin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

(async () => {

  const connector = new FilecoinJs.HttpJsonRpcConnector({ url: __LOTUS_RPC_ENDPOINT__, token: __LOTUS_AUTH_TOKEN__ });
  const lotusClient = new FilecoinJs.LotusClient(connector);

  const networkName = await lotusClient.state.networkName();
