Pass parameter as bytes32 to Solidity Smart Contract

Question

I am using this Ethereum Go Client and trying to pass a string / bytes32 to Solidity.

The function in the smart contract is very simple (for testing now):

  function vote(bytes32 id) {
    //id has the value 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
  }

calling

hash, err := contract.Send(transaction, "vote", "myString")

will result in 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

for the bytes32 param id...

How would I have to pass in the parameter to my Smart Contract from Go so that solidity will have the correct value?

Answer 1

I think you have to encode it

types.ComplexString("myString")

Answer 2

To convert a string to a bytes32 for solidity all you have to do is create a fixed length byte array in Go and copy the string the value to it.

value := [32]byte{}
copy(key[:], []byte("hello"))

Then you may pass the value to the smart contract function:

hash, err := contract.Send(transaction, "vote", value)

Answer 3

Use the common.HexToHash package and pass the string value.

convertedValue := common.HexToHash("myString")

hash, err := contract.Send(transaction, "vote", convertedValue)
