eth-send

Simple way to send ether.

Install

npm install eth-send

Getting started

const send = require('eth-send')

;(async () => {
  const txHash = await send({
    from: '4f3edf983ac636a65a842ce7c78d9aa706d3b113bce9c46f30d7d21715b23b1d',
    to: '0xFFcf8FDEE72ac11b5c542428B35EEF5769C409f0',
    amount: '0.01',
    network: 'rinkeby'
  })

  console.log(txHash) // 0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00
})()

example

CLI

Install:

npm install -g eth-send

Example of sending ether on testnet from an account loaded via the private key, to another address:

$ eth-send \
  --from 4f3edf983ac636a65a842ce7c78d9aa706d3b113bce9c46f30d7d21715b23b1d \
  --to 0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0 \
  --amount 0.01 \
  --network rinkeby

sending transaction:

network:  rinkeby
from:     0x90F8bf6A479f320ead074411a4B0e7944Ea8c9C1
to:       0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0
amount:   0.01 ETH (10000000000000000 wei)
gas:      21000
gasPrice: 1 gwei

tx hash:  0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00

Use the silent flag to only return the transaction hash:

$ eth-send [...] --silent

0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00

You may use a custom provider in the network flag:

$ eth-send [...] --network https://rinkeby.infura.io/

The sender private key can be set as an environment variable:

FROM=4f3edf983ac636a65a842ce7c78d9aa706d3b113bce9c46f30d7d21715b23b1d eth-send [....]

Piping ETH amount to send:

$ echo 0.1 | eth-send [...]

0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00
