How do I interact with a smart contract on a private network through web3 js

0 votes

I have deployed my smart contract on private network using mist and geth. Following is my script:

if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {
            web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
        } else {
            // set the provider you want from Web3.providers
            web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:8545"));
        }
web3.eth.defaultAccount = web3.eth.accounts[0];
var CoursetroContract = web3.eth.contract(YOUR ABI);

var Coursetro = CoursetroContract.at('PASTE CONTRACT ADDRESS HERE');
console.log(Coursetro);

Now, how do i interact with smart contracts using Web3.js?

The web3.eth.Contract object makes it easy to interact with smart contracts on the ethereum blockchain. When you create a new contract object you give it the json interface of the respective smart contract and web3 will auto convert all calls into low level ABI calls over RPC for you.
