peer chaincode

The peer chaincode command allows administrators to perform chaincode related operations on a peer, such as installing, instantiating, invoking, packaging, querying, and upgrading chaincode.

Syntax

The peer chaincode command has the following subcommands:

  • install
  • instantiate
  • invoke
  • list
  • package
  • query
  • signpackage
  • upgrade

The different subcommand options (install, instantiate...) relate to the different chaincode operations that are relevant to a peer. For example, use the peer chaincode install subcommand option to install a chaincode on a peer, or the peer chaincode query subcommand option to query a chaincode for the current value on a peer's ledger.

Some subcommands take flag --ctor, of which the value must be a JSON string that has either key 'Args' or 'Function' and 'Args'. These keys are case-insensitive.

If the JSON string only has the Args key, the key value is an array, where the first array element is the target function to call, and the subsequent elements are arguments of the function. If the JSON string has both 'Function' and 'Args', the value of Function is the target function to call, and the value of Args is an array of arguments of the function. For instance, {"Args":["GetAllAssets"]} is equivalent to {"Function":"GetAllAssets", "Args":[]}.

Each peer chaincode subcommand is described together with its options in its own section in this topic.

Flags

Each peer chaincode subcommand has both a set of flags specific to an individual subcommand, as well as a set of global flags that relate to all peer chaincode subcommands. Not all subcommands would use these flags. For instance, the query subcommand does not need the --orderer flag.

The individual flags are described with the relevant subcommand. The global flags are

  • --cafile <string>

    Path to file containing PEM-encoded trusted certificate(s) for the ordering endpoint

  • --certfile <string>

    Path to file containing PEM-encoded X509 public key to use for mutual TLS communication with the orderer endpoint

  • --keyfile <string>

    Path to file containing PEM-encoded private key to use for mutual TLS communication with the orderer endpoint

  • -o or --orderer <string>

    Ordering service endpoint specified as <hostname or IP address>:<port>

  • --ordererTLSHostnameOverride <string>

    The hostname override to use when validating the TLS connection to the orderer

  • --tls

    Use TLS when communicating with the orderer endpoint

  • --transient <string>

    Transient map of arguments in JSON encoding

peer chaincode instantiate examples

Here are some examples of the peer chaincode instantiate command, which instantiates the chaincode named mycc at version 1.0 on channel mychannel:

  • Using the --tls and --cafile global flags to instantiate the chaincode in a network with TLS enabled:

    export ORDERER_CA=/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem
    peer chaincode instantiate -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls --cafile $ORDERER_CA -C mychannel -n mycc -v 1.0 -c '{"Args":["init","a","100","b","200"]}' -P "AND ('Org1MSP.peer','Org2MSP.peer')"

    Here you can see that the invoke was submitted successfully based on the log message:

    2018-02-22 16:34:27.107 UTC [chaincodeCmd] chaincodeInvokeOrQuery -> INFO 00b Chaincode invoke successful. result: status:200
    

    A successful response indicates that the transaction was submitted for ordering successfully. The transaction will then be added to a block and, finally, validated or invalidated by each peer on the channel.

Here is an example of how to format the peer chaincode invoke command when the chaincode package includes multiple smart contracts.

  • If you are using the contract-api, the name you pass to super("MyContract") can be used as a prefix.

    peer chaincode invoke -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n $CHAINCODE_NAME -c '{ "Args": ["MyContract:methodName", "{}"] }'
    
    peer chaincode invoke -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n $CHAINCODE_NAME -c '{ "Args": ["MyOtherContract:methodName", "{}"] }'
    

peer chaincode list example

Here are some examples of the peer chaincode list command:

  • Using the --installed flag to list the chaincodes installed on a peer.

    peer chaincode list --installed
    
    Get installed chaincodes on peer:
    Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/chaincode/abstore/go, Id: 8cc2730fdafd0b28ef734eac12b29df5fc98ad98bdb1b7e0ef96265c3d893d61
    2018-02-22 17:07:13.476 UTC [main] main -> INFO 001 Exiting.....
    

    You can see that the peer has installed a chaincode called mycc which is at version 1.0.

  • Using the --instantiated in combination with the -C (channel ID) flag to list the chaincodes instantiated on a channel.

    peer chaincode list --instantiated -C mychannel
    
    Get instantiated chaincodes on channel mychannel:
    Name: mycc, Version: 1.0, Path: github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/chaincode/abstore/go, Escc: escc, Vscc: vscc
    2018-02-22 17:07:42.969 UTC [main] main -> INFO 001 Exiting.....
    

    You can see that chaincode mycc at version 1.0 is instantiated on channel mychannel.

peer chaincode package example

Here is an example of the peer chaincode package command, which packages the chaincode named mycc at version 1.1, creates the chaincode deployment spec, signs the package using the local MSP, and outputs it as ccpack.out:

  peer chaincode package ccpack.out -n mycc -p github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/chaincode/abstore/go -v 1.1 -s -S
  .
  .
  .

  2018-02-22 17:27:01.879 UTC [main] main -> INFO 012 Exiting.....

  ```

### peer chaincode query example

Here is an example of the `peer chaincode query` command, which queries the
peer ledger for the chaincode named `mycc` at version `1.0` for the value of
variable `a`:

* You can see from the output that variable `a` had a value of 90 at the time of
  the query.

  ```
  peer chaincode query -C mychannel -n mycc -c '{"Args":["query","a"]}'

  2018-02-22 16:34:30.816 UTC [chaincodeCmd] checkChaincodeCmdParams -> INFO 001 Using default escc
  2018-02-22 16:34:30.816 UTC [chaincodeCmd] checkChaincodeCmdParams -> INFO 002 Using default vscc
  Query Result: 90

  ```

### peer chaincode signpackage example

Here is an example of the `peer chaincode signpackage` command, which accepts an
existing signed  package and creates a new one with signature of the local MSP
appended to it.

peer chaincode signpackage ccwith1sig.pak ccwith2sig.pak Wrote signed package to ccwith2sig.pak successfully 2018-02-24 19:32:47.189 EST [main] main -> INFO 002 Exiting.....


### peer chaincode upgrade example

Here is an example of the `peer chaincode upgrade` command, which
upgrades the chaincode named `mycc` at version `1.1` on channel
`mychannel` to version `1.2`, which contains a new variable `c`:

* Using the `--tls` and `--cafile` global flags to upgrade the chaincode
  in a network with TLS enabled:

  ```
  export ORDERER_CA=/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem
  peer chaincode upgrade -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls --cafile $ORDERER_CA -C mychannel -n mycc -v 1.2 -c '{"Args":["init","a","100","b","200","c","300"]}' -P "AND ('Org1MSP.peer','Org2MSP.peer')"
  .
  .
