How to access member functions of smart contract using web3

0 votes

I have deployed the following smart contract:

pragma solidity ^0.4.24;


contract Logistics{

    address public owner = msg.sender;

    mapping(address => string) public notes;


    function sign(string note) public {

        require(msg.sender == owner);

        notes[owner] = note;

    }


    function transferOwnership(address newOwner) public {

        require(msg.sender == owner);

        owner = newOwner;

    }

}

And I have written a Javascript to interact with the member functions of the smart contract.

$(document).ready(function() {///////////////////////////



let setUp = new Promise(function(resolve, reject){

        if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {

            console.log('Web3 Detected! ' + web3.currentProvider.constructor.name)

            window.web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);

            console.log("Web3 initialized!");

            resolve('done');

        }

        else {

            console.log('No Web3 Detected... using HTTP Provider')

            window.web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://localhost:7545"));

            console.log("Web3 initialized!");

            resolve('done');

        }

});


setUp.then(function(){ //After setup above^


web3.eth.defaultAccount = web3.eth.accounts[0]; //current metamask account

console.log("The defaultAccount is: " + web3.eth.defaultAccount);



var contractABI = web3.eth.contract([

    {

        "constant": false,

        "inputs": [

            {

                "name": "note",

                "type": "string"

            }

        ],

        "name": "sign",

        "outputs": [],

        "payable": false,

        "stateMutability": "nonpayable",

        "type": "function"

    },

    {

        "constant": true,

        "inputs": [],

        "name": "owner",

        "outputs": [

            {

                "name": "",

                "type": "address"

            }

        ],

        "payable": false,

        "stateMutability": "view",

        "type": "function"

    },

    {

        "constant": true,

        "inputs": [

            {

                "name": "",

                "type": "address"

            }

        ],

        "name": "notes",

        "outputs": [

            {

                "name": "",

                "type": "string"

            }

        ],

        "payable": false,

        "stateMutability": "view",

        "type": "function"

    },

    {

        "constant": false,

        "inputs": [

            {

                "name": "newOwner",

                "type": "address"

            }

        ],

        "name": "transferOwnership",

        "outputs": [],

        "payable": false,

        "stateMutability": "nonpayable",

        "type": "function"

    }

]);


var Note = contractABI.at(0xea449D80E775607612Cc6d5ae9232EA10e417Ec1);



$('#viewButton').click(function(){

    if ($('#viewInput').val()){ //if text input is populated


        Note.notes("0xf35f06208aCcaCF3FaF678df88A76142b923408e", function(err, res){

            if(!err){

                alert(res);


            } else{

                console.log("Error fetching information from given address");

            }


        });

    }


});




}); //initial load promises 'then'


});/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

But its not working. Any idea how can I make this work?

I have implemented a similar feature and the code I have used is as follows:


<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/web3.js/dist/web3.min.js"></script>

<script>

        if (typeof web3 !== 'undefined') {

           web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);

        } else {

           web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("https://api.myetherwallet.com/rop"));

        }

        const abi = [{"constant":false,"inputs":[{"name":"note","type":"string"}],"name":"sign","outputs":[],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"constant":true,"inputs":[],"name":"owner","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"constant":true,"inputs":[{"name":"","type":"address"}],"name":"notes","outputs":[{"name":"","type":"string"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"constant":false,"inputs":[{"name":"newOwner","type":"address"}],"name":"transferOwnership","outputs":[],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}]



        const contract_address = '0x***'


        var myContract = web3.eth.contract(abi).at(contract_address);


        myContract.notes('0x***', function(error, result){

               if(!error)

                   console.log(result);

               else

                   console.error(error);

        });

</script>

I have run it on ropsten network and it works.
