Checking Operator Authorization for All Tokens

In the ERC721 standard, operators can be authorized to manage all tokens on behalf of the token owner. The getApproveStatus method in the edeXa ERC721 SDK provides a way to check if an operator has been granted this authorization. This guide walks you through the process using the provided code example.

Overview of the getApproveStatus Method

The getApproveStatus method is used to verify whether a specified operator has been authorized to manage all tokens for a user. This functionality is crucial for applications that rely on delegated token management.

---

Prerequisites

• Installation of the edeXa ERC721 SDK in your project.
• An authentication token obtained through the SDK's authentication method. This token is necessary to authorize your requests.

Sample Code Snippet

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

import { ERC721, Network } from 'edeXa-sdk';
async function getApproveStatus() {
  const settings = {
    network: Network.SANDBOX, // Use Network.MAINNET for production environments
  };
  const erc721 = new ERC721({
    ...settings,
    authorization: `Bearer ${token}`, // Replace `${token}` with your authentication token
  });

  const dataToCheckStatus = {
    operator:
      'Enter the username of the user to check the operator status for all tokens',
    chaincode: 'Optional smart contract name', // Managing tokens' smart contract name
    channel: 'Optional blockchain channel name', // Blockchain channel name
  };

  try {
    const checkStatusResponse = await erc721.getApproveStatus(
      dataToCheckStatus
    );
    // Handle success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}
