Is from thesponsor value 10000000 gas 3000000 considered as a transaction object

0 votes

I was going through the IDM Example for Ethereum smart contract and i came across the following code:

personal.unlockAccount(thesponsor,"password");

ss.pledge("Good luck with the run!", {from: thesponsor, value: 10000000, gas: 3000000});

and the pledge function is as follows:

function pledge(bytes32 _message) {

  if (msg.value == 0 || complete || refunded) throw;

  pledges[numPledges] = Pledge(msg.value, msg.sender, _message);

  numPledges++;

}

I am getting a little confused here. Is the solidity seeing {from: thesponsor, value: 10000000, gas: 3000000} as a

msg object that is used to transfer ethers? If yes, then if i write a json object with the keywords "from"and "value",

would it make a fund transaction accidentally?

Yes, {from: thesponsor, value: 10000000, gas: 3000000} is considered and interpreted as a transactionObject. Let me

explain why it is so. Any transaction on Ethereum that causes a state change(create, update or delete) requires a

transactionObject. So in the above code mentioned in your question, it is interpreted as a transactionObject.

Look at the example of the pledge function mentioned below:

1   // add a new pledge

2   function pledge(bytes32 _message) {

3    if (msg.value == 0 || complete || refunded) throw;

4    pledges[numPledges] = Pledge(msg.value, msg.sender, _message);

5    numPledges++;

}

In this code snippet, you can see that lines 4 and 5 cause state change. To cause these state changes, it is required that you provide gas. The pledge function also has a msg.value which is the Ethereum amount you want to send in the pledge and it is denoted by value.
