Go

To integrate with Go you need to make sure that your trix project has the go bindings generation enabled in the config:

[[bindings]]
plugin = "go"
output_dir = "./gen/go"

With the binding generation enabled, run the following command from your CLI to trigger the code generator:

trix bindgen

If things went well, you should see the following new files:

my-protocol/
└── gen/
└── go/
├── protocol.go
└── go.mod

That new protocol.go file has the required types and functions to call your protocol from a Go code.

The go.mod file is a standard file for Go projects.

Now, we can use the generated bindings to build a transaction using our protocol.

First access to the gen/go folder and install the required dependencies:

Terminal window
cd gen/go && go mod tidy

We need to open protocol.go and update the TRP endpoint to point to the correct URL (unless you have it configured on trix.toml). The default value is http://localhost:3000/trp, but if you’re using different port or endpoint, make sure to update it.

For the following example, we will use the main.tx3 file generated by trix.

Now, we can create a new file called test.go with the following code on the same folder as main.tx3:

package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"protocol"
)
func main() {
// Create parameters for the transfer
params := protocol.TransferParams{
Sender: "addr_test1vpgcjapuwl7gfnzhzg6svtj0ph3gxu8kyuadudmf0kzsksqrfugfc",
Receiver: "addr_test1vpry6n9s987fpnmjqcqt9un35t2rx5t66v4x06k9awdm5hqpma4pp",
Quantity: 100000000,
}
// Execute the transfer transaction
cbor, err := protocol.DefaultClient.TransferTx(params)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error: %v", err)
}
// Print the result
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cbor)
}

For this, add the protocol as a dependency in your go.mod file:

require protocol v0.0.0
replace protocol => ./gen/go

Finally, we can run the test file to build a transaction using our protocol:

Terminal window
go run test.go

If everything went well, you should see a message like this:
