Account Id of User

Retrieving the account ID of a user is a key functionality in the edeXa ERC20 API. Use the accountId method to obtain this information.

---

Prerequisites

• Authenticate the client using the edeXa SDK. For authentication details, see the authentication method.
• Ensure that the user whose account ID you want to retrieve is already enrolled. See enroll users for details on enrolling users.

Sample code Snippet

Here is a JavaScript code snippet demonstrating the use of the accountId method:

// SDK.js
import { ERC20, Network } from 'edeXa-sdk';

async function accountId() {
  const erc20 = new ERC20({
    ...settings,
    authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
  });

  const settings = {
    network: Network.SANDBOX, // or Network.MAINNET for the mainnet network
  };

  const dataToGetAccountId = {
    userId: 'Enter the uuid of the user',
    chaincode: 'Name of the smart contract', // Optional
    channel: 'Name of the channel', // Optional
  };

  try {
    const accountIdResponse = await erc20.accountId(dataToGetAccountId);
    // Handle success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}

Important Notes

• Authentication Token: Replace the token in the authorization header with your actual authentication token.
• Asynchronous Execution: The accountId function is an async function that uses await to wait for the erc20.accountId method's promise to resolve.
• User UUID: Provide the uuid of the user in the userId field. This uuid can be obtained from the response of enroll users.
