This adds [new wallet_* commands](https://lbry.tech/api/sdk#wallet_add).

i think we should just add an optional param to the current account functions. just like I did for AccountAdd yesterday

you gotta remember to define the json part and add ,omitempty otherwise the SDK will crap out

any reasons as to why you'd want to use a structure instead of just passing 3 more params?
to stay consistent with the other calls, unless it's a lot of params we're talking about, I would keep it simple

we followed up in slack. I think we need more opinions here.
Struct pros:

  • easier to manage when not all params are necessary so that we don't have to specify nil each time
d.WalletCreate(id, nil)
vs
d.WalletCreate(id, nil, nil, nil, nil)

Cons:

  • When the structure changes, those using the library will not necessarily notice and the behavior of the function might not reflect the intended purpose making it unclear as to what needs to be changed (tests should prevent that)

That's how we ended up with v2 of lbry.go already — introducing backwards incompatible changes way too liberally. I don't think we should do that.

P.S. That's another example where opts would make things easier by not breaking backwards compatibility.

It also makes it easier to omit optional parameters and supply only the ones we want. The second example is much more readable in my opinion.

d.AccountAdd("account_name", nil, nil, nil, true, nil)
// vs 
d.AccountAdd("account_name", &AccountOpts{SingleKey: true})

This also makes sense where we're designing an RPC client, which, in turn, relies on an API that is changing very rapidly. We don't want to bump major version number and/or break, say, AccountList for all clients just because there is a new WalletID parameter now that we need to use.

If the structure changes in a non-backwards compatible way, it should be fairly easy to validate in the receiving functions and produce an error at run time.

Bottom line, I think losing some of the compile time validation here is worth it for the ease of readability and use.

Reposting from slack:

to me it makes sense to use arguments for required params and an options struct for optional params

alternatively, if there's an option that's used a lot when calling the method, that can be an arg too

@sayplastic I'm confused what you mean by

and break, say, AccountList for all clients just because there is a new WalletID parameter now that we need to use

How would we break AccountList for all clients? it would not break unless they update to a newer version of lbry.go. And if they are updating, they should be aware that there may be API changes that they'll have to handle. Nothing will break without them taking action.

Not the best wording on my part. What I meant is we’re going to be requiring changes from client code if they stay up to date.

I think we shouldn't worry too much about backward compatibility. If one doesn't want to stay up to date with lbry.go/sdk then they can lock themselves into a commit that supports such old versions.
We don't have the time to support multiple versions, only the current one. I still feel like it should not be split out and rather updated

that's the desired outcome in my opinion. If one client updates lbry.go they should expect to update the use of their functions according to the SDK changes. Hiding those updates will fragment usage and possibly make updating a pain as one should either have all sdk functionalities tested (which would be great, but realistically speaking unlikely) or go through all the calls to figure out the changes

I have restored versioning, after this is merged you can tag new versions as ~v2.3.1~ v2.3.2 and higher and import them in client code as github.com/lbryio/lbry.go/v2/...

Would strongly suggest tagging your code that is not finalized yet with a pre suffix.

this needs to be converted to a defined structure like in some other calls, otherwise I believe the SDK might crap out if you pass --wallet_id=null

I spent a few minutes adding a nil parameter to AccoutList in calls around the test code that don't know about wallet_id and it felt quite ugly to me. Barring all the uncertainties of designing an API ahead of client code, I'd hazard a guess the majority of clients will be requiring the argument-less version of account_list and we should keep it that.
