# Quick Start
Ape plugin for ENS argument conversion and contracts
## Dependencies
- [python3](https://www.python.org/downloads) version 3.9 up to 3.12.
## Installation
### via `pip`
You can install the latest release via [`pip`](https://pypi.org/project/pip/):
```bash
pip install ape-ens
```
### via `setuptools`
You can clone the repository and use [`setuptools`](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools) for the most up-to-date version:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape-ens.git
cd ape-ens
python3 setup.py install
```
## Quick Usage
Ensure you are satisfied with your Ethereum mainnet setup in Ape, as this plugin requires a connection to Ethereum to resolve ENS domains.
More information on networks can be found in [Ape's network guide](https://docs.apeworx.io/ape/stable/userguides/networks.html#networks).
If using Ape and not connected to mainnet, `ape-ens` will temporarily connect to Ethereum mainnet to resolve addresses, using your default mainnet provider.
To configure a default mainnet provider, do:
```yaml
ethereum:
mainnet:
default_provider: alchemy # Example, you can use any mainnet provider
```
Otherwise, the plugin should still work with Ape's defaults, using an RPC from the `evmchains` library.
This plugin contains two primary features:
- A conversion API implementation: this allows you to use ENS values in contract calls and transaction kwargs.
- a CLI for interacting with ENS from the command line.
### Conversion API
When this plugin is installed, you can use ENS names in contract-calls, and they resolve to the addresses automatically:
```python
from ape import accounts, Contract
ens_name = "vitalik.eth" # Going to use this later...
contract = Contract("0x123...")
me = accounts.load("me")
# Ape resolves "me" to my account's address and "vitalik.eth" to Vitalik's Ethereum address.
# It is thanks to the ape-ens plugin that "vitalik.eth" works as a transaction input.
contract.transferFrom(me, ens_name, 100, sender=me)
```
You can use Ape's conversion utility directly:
```python
from ape import convert
from ape.types import AddressType
convert("vitalik.eth", AddressType)
# returns: '0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045'
```
Additionally, you can get the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) namehash using the `namehash` function:
```py
from ape_ens.utils import namehash
namehash("foo.eth")
# HexBytes("0xde9b09fd7c5f901e23a3f19fecc54828e9c848539801e86591bd9801b019f84f")
```
### CLI
`ape-ens` comes with a CLI for using ENS.
Resolve ENS domains from the command line:
```shell
ape ens resolve vitalik.eth
# outputs: 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
```
Reverse-lookup an ENS domain:
```shell
ape ens name 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
# outputs: vitalik.eth
```
Get the owner of an ENS domain:
```shell
ape ens owner vitalik.eth
# outputs: 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
```
Get the namehash of an ENS name:
```shell
ape ens namehash foo.eth
# outputs: 0xde9b09fd7c5f901e23a3f19fecc54828e9c848539801e86591bd9801b019f84f
```
### Using `ape-ens` as a library.
You can also use the `ape_ens.ENS` class directly for programmatically referring to ENS.
```python
from ape_ens import ENS
ens = ENS()
vitalik = ens.resolve("vitalik.eth")
print(vitalik)
```
### Local registry
**WARNING**: By default, `ape-ens` caches results during each Python session for faster name resolution in scripts and testing.
Be careful using ENS names in long-running scripts where it would be bad if the name resolved differently in the future.
To disable caching, configure `ape-ens` to always read from Ethereum by adding to your `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
[tool.ape.ens]
use_cache = false
```
or using `ape-config.yaml`:
```yaml
ens:
use_cache: false
```
To manually add entries to the cache, you can include them under the `registry:` key in the config:
```toml
[tool.ape.ens]
registry = { vitalik.eth = "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045" }
```
or using `ape-config.yaml`:
```yaml
ens:
registry:
vitalik.eth: "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045"
```
Configuring entries is useful for:
1. Testing in the `local` network.
2. Attaining faster performance (no Ethereum call).
3. Avoiding connecting to Ethereum mainnet.
### Change Registry
Change the registry contract address by configuring it in your `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
[tool.ape.ens]
registry_address = "0x123..."
```
or using `ape-config.yaml`:
```yaml
ens:
registry_address: "0x123..."
```
You can also switch the registry adhoc during CLI commands:
```shell
ape ens resolve vitalik.eth --registry-address 0x123...311
```
