bundle.addEntry(entry, bundle)

Summary: Adds the given transaction entry to a bundle array.
Throws:

• errors.ILLEGAL_TRANSACTION_BUFFER_LENGTH : Make sure that the bundle argument contains valid transaction trits
• errors.ILLEGAL_SIGNATURE_OR_MESSAGE_LENGTH : Make sure that the entry.signatureOrMessage argument contains 6,561 trits
• errors.ILLEGAL_ADDRESS_LENGTH : Make sure that the entry.address argument contains 243 trits
• errors.ILLEGAL_VALUE_LENGTH : Make sure that the entry.value argument contains 6,561 trits
• errors.ILLEGAL_ISSUANCE_TIMESTAMP_LENGTH : Make sure that the entry.timestamp argument contains 81 trits

Adds transaction trits in the given entry object to a given bundle array.

Related methods

See the converter package for methods that convert values to trits.

Returns: Int8Array - A copy of the original bundle that also includes the added entries.
Example

let bundle = new Int8Array();

bundle = Bundle.addEntry(bundle, {
 address: Converter.trytesToTrits(outputAddress),
 value: Converter.valueToTrits(value),
 issuanceTimestamp: Converter.valueToTrits(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000));
});

bundle.finalizeBundle(bundle)

Summary: Generates a bundle hash.
Throws:

• errors.ILLEGAL_TRANSACTION_BUFFER_LENGTH : Make sure that the bundle argument contains valid transaction trits

This method takes an array of transaction trits, generates the bundle hash, and adds it to each transaction.

Related methods

See the addEntry() method for creating new bundles.

Returns: Int8Array - Transaction trits that include a bundle hash
Example

const result = Bundle.finalizeBundle(bundle);

bundle.addSignatureOrMessage(bundle, signatureOrMessage, index)

Summary: Adds signature message fragments to transactions in a bundle.
Throws:

• errors.ILLEGAL_TRANSACTION_BUFFER_LENGTH : Make sure that the bundle argument contains valid transaction trits
• errors.ILLEGAL_TRANSACTION_INDEX : Make sure that the index argument is a number and that the bundle contains enough transactions
• errors.ILLEGAL_SIGNATURE_OR_MESSAGE_LENGTH : Make sure that the signatureOrMessage argument contains at least 6,561 trits

This method takes an array of transaction trits, and add the given message or signature to the transactions, starting from the given index.

If the signature or message is too long to fit in a single transaction, it is split across the next transaction in the bundle, starting from the given index.

Related methods

See the addEntry() method for creating new bundles.

Returns: Int8Array - Transaction trits that include a bundle hash.
Example

const signature = Converter.trytesToTrits('SIGNATURE...')
bundle.set(Bundle.addSignatureOrMessage(bundle, signature, 1));

bundle~createBundle([entries])

Summary: Creates a bundle array from the given transaction entries.

Returns: Array.<Int8Array> - List of transactions in the bundle
