Is there any Javascript SDK example for creating vote?

Took a quick look in the examples directory for the iost.js SDK and didn't see one. There is the vote.iost contract and it says "A universal voting contract used to create votes, collect votes, and vote on statistics. You can implement your own voting function based on this contract." - https://developers.iost.io/docs/en/6-reference/SystemContract.html#voteiost

How can I set addApprove("iost", "unlimited")?

Yeah all voting is done through callABI and the voting contract.

19:03

this is done when you init IOST.

19:03

@octalmage is there set tx amount limit as unlimited?

19:04

Yeah trying to find it.

thanks

Not sure why you’d want unlimited.

19:05

As a developer that seems like a liability!

19:05

Did you ever try vote on iostabc?

Yes!

they try vote, it shows as unlimited

19:05

as I showed above screenshot

19:06

const newIOST = new IOST.IOST({ gasRatio: 1, gasLimit: 2000000, delay: 0, expiration: 90, defaultLimit: 'unlimited', });

19:06

Here’s the code.

19:06

Your ABI has to allow unlimited too.

thanks for your help

No problem!

Did you ever use vote_producer.iost?

19:07

Yeah I’ve used it over iWallet.

The command line.

i see.

Experimenting with hanging users vote through my fame.

Game*

nice

Like part of their winnings we put towards our node.

19:08

vote for note, you used vote(voter, nodeAccount, amount) ?

I used this!

I have a question

When I try to vote in iostabc with iWallet extension, they require active permission like below.

it showed vote_producer.iost smart contract, not vote.iost

19:11

Yeah sorry, that’s the contract you want.

19:12

Could you elaborate what is difference between 2 contracts?

19:13

vote is for generic voting, anyone can put up a vote!

19:13

You can vote for many things. The producer contract is specifically for voting in block producers!

19:13

If that makes sense.

19:14

If you look at the API for both contracts I think it will make more sense.

I see

I don’t think people are using vote.iost yet. I did see a hackathon where users created a DAO using IOST, and they probably used vote.iost for this.

19:14

I’m just assuming though!

19:14

Have you ever implemented vote for node?

19:15

I haven’t built my own interface yet no, just wanted to prove that it was possible.

19:15

Right now I’m just telling users to vote using TokenPocket or IOSTABC.

19:15

Just thinking, it would make sense to give users more money if they put it towards our node.

haha

👍

@octalmage it's very strange. When I try to call iost.callABI('vote_producer.iost', "vote", ["nicksamqq", "huobipool", "1"]); it returns producer is not exist as error

19:25

What node are you using?

To submit?

I am using IWallet JS

Just wondering if it’s local, or one of the public mainnet node.

const iost = IWalletJS.newIOST(IOST)

19:27

And what’s the host you’re using?

19:27

I am testing on local

19:27

`"running action Action{Contract: vote_producer.iost, ActionName: vote, Data: ["nicksamqq","huobipool","1"]} error: Uncaught exception: Error: producer not exists at _default_name.js:484:48 _IOSTInstruction_counter.incr(61.9);throw new Error('producer not exists'); ^ Stack tree: Error: producer not exists"`

19:34

The message is like above

19:34

So you can’t test it local.

19:40

Because you don’t have any producers locally.
