defaultAccount ​


caver.klay.defaultAccount

This default address is used as the default from property, if no from property is specified in parameters of the following methods:

Property

20-byte String - Any Klaytn address. You should have the private key for that address in your node or keystore. Default is undefined.

Example


> caver.klay.defaultAccount;
undefined
// set the default account
> caver.klay.defaultAccount = '0x11f4d0A3c12e86B4b5F39B213F7E19D048276DAe';

accountCreated ​


caver.klay.accountCreated(address [, defaultBlock] [, callback])

Returns true if the account associated with the address is created. It returns false otherwise.

NOTE accountCreated checks if the account exists on the network, so even if a key pair is created, false is returned if the account matching the address does not exist on the actual blockchain network.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
addressStringThe address of the account you want to query to see if it has been created on the network.
defaultBlockNumber | String(optional) If you pass this parameter, it will not use the default block set with caver.klay.defaultBlock.
callbackFunction(optional) Optional callback, returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.

Return Value

Promise returns Boolean - The existence of an input address.

Example


> caver.klay.accountCreated('0x7e6ea9e6f24567cd9edb92e6e2d9b94bdae8a47f').then(console.log);
true
> caver.klay.accountCreated('0x6a616d696e652e6b6c6179746t00000000000000').then(console.log);
false

getAccount ​


caver.klay.getAccount(address[, defaultBlock] [, callback])

Returns the account information of a given address. There are two different account types in Klaytn: Externally Owned Account (EOA) and Smart Contract Account. See Klaytn Accounts.

NOTE getAccount returns the account that exists on the network, so even if a key pair is created, null is returned if the account matching the address does not exist on the actual blockchain network.
