Struct ethers_core::types::PrivateKey

pub struct PrivateKey(_);

A private key on Secp256k1

Implementations

impl PrivateKey

pub fn new<R: Rng>(rng: &mut R) -> Self

pub fn sign<S>(&self, message: S) -> Signature where
    S: AsRef<[u8]>, 

Sign arbitrary string data.

The data is UTF-8 encoded and enveloped the same way as with hash_message. The returned signed data's signature is in 'Electrum' notation, that is the recovery value v is either 27 or 28 (as opposed to the standard notation where v is either 0 or 1). This is important to consider when using this signature with other crates.

pub fn sign_transaction(
    &self,
    tx: TransactionRequest,
    chain_id: Option<u64>
) -> Result<Transaction, TxError>

RLP encodes and then signs the stransaction.

If no chain_id is provided, then EIP-155 is not used.

This will return an error if called if any of the nonce, gas_price or gas fields are not populated.

Panics

If tx.to is an ENS name. The caller MUST take care of name resolution before calling this function.
