# Test Client A couple example flows so it's clear how it works. ## Initial setup and account recovery Set up two clients with the same account (which won't exist on the server yet). ``` >>> from test_client import Client >>> c1 = Client() >>> c2 = Client() >>> c1.set_account("joe2@example.com", "123abc2") >>> c2.set_account("joe2@example.com", "123abc2") ``` Each device will have a device_id which will be used in the wallet state metadata to mark which device created a given version. This is used in the `lastSynced` field (see below). ``` >>> c1.device_id '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9' >>> c2.device_id '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c' ``` Register the account on the server with one of the clients. ``` >>> c1.register() Registered ``` Now that the account exists, grab an auth token with both clients. ``` >>> c1.get_auth_token() Got auth token: 941e5159a2caff15f0bdc1c0e6da92691d3073543dbfae810cfe57d51c35f0e0 >>> c2.get_auth_token() Got auth token: b323a18e51263ac052777ca68de716c1f3b4983bf4c918477e355f637c8ea2d4 ``` ## Syncing Create a new wallet state (wallet + metadata) and post it to the server. Note that after posting, it says it "got" a new wallet state. This is because the post endpoint also returns the latest version. The purpose of this will be explained in "Conflicts" below. The fields in the walletstate are: * `encryptedWallet` - the actual encrypted wallet data * `lastSynced` - a mapping between deviceId and the latest sequence number that it _created_. This is bookkeeping to prevent certain syncing errors. * `deviceId` - the device that made _this_ wallet state version (NOTE this admittedly seems redundant with `lastSynced` and may be removed) ``` >>> c1.new_wallet_state() >>> c1.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': '', 'lastSynced': {'974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 1}} ``` With the other client, get it from the server. Note that both clients have the same data now. ``` >>> c2.get_wallet_state() Got latest walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': '', 'lastSynced': {'974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 1}} ``` ## Updating Push a new version, get it with the other client. Even though we haven't edited the encrypted wallet yet, each version of a wallet _state_ has an incremented sequence number, and the deviceId that created it. ``` >>> c2.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c', 'encryptedWallet': '', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 2, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 1}} >>> c1.get_wallet_state() Got latest walletState: {'deviceId': '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c', 'encryptedWallet': '', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 2, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 1}} ``` ## Wallet Changes For demo purposes, this test client represents each change to the wallet by appending segments separated by `:` so that we can more easily follow the history. (The real app will not actually edit the wallet in the form of an append log.) ``` >>> c1.cur_encrypted_wallet() '' >>> c1.change_encrypted_wallet() >>> c1.cur_encrypted_wallet() ':2fbE' ``` The wallet is synced between the clients. ``` >>> c1.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 2, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 3}} >>> c2.get_wallet_state() Got latest walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 2, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 3}} >>> c2.cur_encrypted_wallet() ':2fbE' ``` ## Merging Changes Both clients create changes. They now have diverging wallets. ``` >>> c1.change_encrypted_wallet() >>> c2.change_encrypted_wallet() >>> c1.cur_encrypted_wallet() ':2fbE:BD62' >>> c2.cur_encrypted_wallet() ':2fbE:e7ac' ``` One client posts its change first. The other client pulls that change, and _merges_ those changes on top of the changes it had saved locally. The _merge base_ that a given client uses is the last version that it successfully got from or posted to the server. You can see the merge base here: the first part of the wallet which does not change from this merge. ``` >>> c1.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 2, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 4}} >>> c2.get_wallet_state() Got latest walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 2, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 4}} >>> c2.cur_encrypted_wallet() ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac' ``` Finally, the client with the merged wallet pushes it to the server, and the other client gets the update. ``` >>> c2.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 5, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 4}} >>> c1.get_wallet_state() Got latest walletState: {'deviceId': '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 5, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 4}} >>> c1.cur_encrypted_wallet() ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac' ``` ## Conflicts A client cannot post if it is not up to date. It needs to merge in any new changes on the server before posting its own changes. For convenience, if a conflicting post request is made, the server responds with the latest version of the wallet state (just like a GET request). This way the client doesn't need to make a second request to perform the merge. (If a non-conflicting post request is made, it responds with the same wallet state that the client just posted, as it is now the server's current wallet state) ``` >>> c2.change_encrypted_wallet() >>> c2.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac:4EEf', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 6, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 4}} >>> c1.change_encrypted_wallet() >>> c1.post_wallet_state() Wallet state out of date. Getting updated wallet state. Try again. Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac:4EEf', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 6, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 4}} ``` Now the merge is complete, and the client can make a second post request containing the merged wallet. ``` >>> c1.post_wallet_state() Successfully updated wallet state on server Got new walletState: {'deviceId': '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9', 'encryptedWallet': ':2fbE:BD62:e7ac:4EEf:DC86', 'lastSynced': {'545643c9-ee47-443d-b260-cb9178b8646c': 6, '974690df-85a6-481d-9015-6293226db8c9': 7}} ```
