SENDING TOKENS USING ETHERS.JS

Body
From: https://ethereum.org/fr/developers/tutorials/send-token-etherjs/
Installing
/home/ricmoo> npm install --save ethers
ES6 in the Browser
ES3(UMD) in the Browser Parameters
  • contract_address: Token contract address (contract address is needed when the token you want to transfer is not ether)
  • send_token_amount: The amount you want to send to the receiver
  • to_address: The receiver's address
  • send_account: The sender's address
  • private_key: Private key of the sender to sign the transaction and actually transfer the tokens
  • NOTICE signTransaction(tx) is removed because sendTransaction() does it internally.
SENDING PROCEDURES 1. Connect to network (testnet) Set Provider (Infura) Connect to Ropsten testnet window.provider = new InfuraProvider("ropsten") 2. Create wallet let wallet = new ethers.Wallet(private_key) 3. Connect Wallet to net let walletSigner = wallet.connect(window.ethersProvider) 4. Get current gas price window.ethersProvider.getGasPrice() // gasPrice 5. Define Transaction These variables defined below are dependent on send_token() Transaction parameters
  • send_account: address of the token sender
  • to_address: address of the token receiver
  • send_token_amount: the amount of tokens to send
  • gas_limit: gas limit
  • gas_price: gas price
See below for how to use const tx = { from: send_account, to: to_address, value: ethers.utils.parseEther(send_token_amount), nonce: window.ethersProvider.getTransactionCount(send_account, "latest"), gasLimit: ethers.utils.hexlify(gas_limit), // 100000 gasPrice: gas_price, } 6. Transfer walletSigner.sendTransaction(tx).then((transaction) => { console.dir(transaction) alert("Send finished!") }) HOW TO USE IT
