1. get rid of the whisper layer and handle everything in the communication layer
2. Create a gethWhisper and a parityWhisper plugin that has the same files as packages/embark/src/lib/modules/geth, except with a whisperClient instead of gethClient, and will include most of https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/blob/master/packages/plugins/whisper/src/index.js.
3. Get rid of any whisper registration in geth.
4. In the whisperGeth and whisperParity plugins, modify the request for communication:node:register, to end up calling `startWhisperNode`
The blockchain module should not contain any ethereum-specific code, and currently it contains a check to see if the blockchain has already been started.
This PR moves this check to blockchain client (ie geth or parity). This check function is registered along with the started callback.
style(@embark/stack/blockchain): add missing semicolon
When making use of the `useBuiltIns: 'usage'` option for @babel/preset-env
(which is the case for all transpiled packages in Embark's monorepo) a package
needs to have both @babel/runtime-corejs3 and core-js@3 specified as
dependencies.
BREAKING CHANGE:
node: >=10.17.0 <12.0.0
npm: >=6.11.3
yarn: >=1.19.1
node v10.17.0 is the latest in the 10.x series and is still in the Active LTS
lifecycle. Embark is still not compatible with node's 12.x and 13.x
series (because of some dependencies), otherwise it would probably make sense
to bump our minimum supported node version all the way to the most recent 12.x
release.
npm v6.11.3 is the version that's bundled with node v10.17.0.
yarn v1.19.1 is the most recent version as of the time node v10.17.0 was
released.
Contains bug fixes to get parity to work as a blockchain client.
**NOTE:** Please merge https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/pull/1950 first before merging this PR, as this PR contains removal of dependencies from `packages/embark` that are needed for geth. So if this is merged first, and the geth PR (https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/pull/1950) is not merged, then geth will not have some of the dependencies it needs.
