• bugs :: github.com/rubycocos/blockchain/issues
• gem :: rubygems.org/gems/ethers
• rdoc :: rubydoc.info/gems/ethers

Download & Install The Ruby Package(s)

To install use the ruby package manager (also known as rubygems):

$ gem install ethers

Usage In Your Ruby Scripts

For now

require 'ethers'

is a (convenience) all-in-one short-cut for:

require 'ethlite'
require 'ethlite-contracts'
require 'ethname'
require 'etherscan-lite'

Gems

For now ethers includes / bundles-up:

• crypto-lite - cryptographic secure hash functions and public key signature algorithms made easy
• ethlite - light-weight machinery to query / call ethereum (blockchain contract) services via json-rpc (incl. tuple support)
• ethlite-contracts - pre-packaged ready-to-use "out-of-the-gem" (blockchain) contract services / function calls for ethereum & co
• ethname - light-weight crowd-sourced "off-chain" ethereum name to (contract) address service / helper (incl. punks v1,v2,v3,v4; phunks v1,v2, synth punks, punk blocks, etc.) - yes, you can! - add more names / contracts via git ;-)
• etherscan-lite - light-weight machinery / helper for the Etherscan (blockchain) JSON HTTP API / web services (note: API key sign-up required)
• abidoc - application binary interface (abi) documentation generator for Ethereum & Co. (blockchain) contracts
• abigen - generate ready-to-use (blockchain) contract services / function calls for ethereum & co. via application binary inferfaces (abis)

and via dependencies pulls-in:

• digest-lite - crypto(graphic) hash functions / classes - Digest::KeccakLite (512bit, 256bit, etc), Digest::SHA3Lite (512bit, 256bit, etc) in "100% pure" ruby "lite" scripts, that is, without any c-extensions and with zero-dependency
• elliptic - elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) cryptography with OpenSSL made easy (incl. secp256k1 curve)
• abicoder - "lite" application binary interface (abi) encoding / decoding machinery / helper (incl. nested arrays and/or tuples) for Ethereum & Co. (blockchain) contracts with zero-dependencies for easy (re)use
• abiparser - application binary interface (abi) parser machinery / helper for Ethereum & Co. (blockchain) contracts
