Clicking this button should generate a transaction in which we send the value in wei of the token, and this token is transferred to our address. The `SpaceshipToken` contract has a `buySpaceship` function we can use for such purposes. - console.log("Updating ships"); - this.props.onAction(); +Let's start by implementing the functionality of the `buyFromStore` method. Disable the button and extract the `buySpaceship` function to its own variable: - // TODO: show success - return true; - }) - .catch((err) => { - console.error(err); - // TODO: show error blockchain - }) - .finally(() => { - this.setState({isSubmitting: false}); - }); - } +``` +buyFromStore = () => { + this.setState({isSubmitting: true}); + const { buySpaceship } = SpaceshipToken.methods; +} +``` +The next step is to estimate the gas to invoke the contract function. For this case in particular, we need the token id (`this.props.id`), and, since this transaction involves sending ether, we need to specify the value. We can obtain it from `this.props.price`. Notice we also have a `catch` and `finally` blocks: + +``` +buyFromStore = () => { + this.setState({isSubmitting: true}); + + const { buySpaceship } = SpaceshipToken.methods; + + const toSend = buySpaceship(this.props.id) + + toSend.estimateGas({value: this.props.price }) + .then(estimatedGas => { + console.log(estimatedGas); + }) + .catch((err) => { + console.error(err); + }) + .finally(() => { + this.setState({isSubmitting: false}); + }); +} +``` + +Then, with the `estimatedGas` variable, we generate the transaction. Since buying the spaceship means that the ship will be transferred from the store to your wallet, it's a good idea to reload the different sections of the index page. You can use `this.props.onAction();` for this. + +``` +buyFromStore = () => { + this.setState({isSubmitting: true}); + + const { buySpaceship } = SpaceshipToken.methods; + + const toSend = buySpaceship(this.props.id) + + toSend.estimateGas({value: this.props.price }) + .then(estimatedGas => { + return toSend.send({value: this.props.price, + gas: estimatedGas + 1000000}); + }) + .then(receipt => { + console.log(receipt); + this.props.onAction(); + }) + .catch((err) => { + console.error(err); + }) + .finally(() => { + this.setState({isSubmitting: false}); + }); +} +``` ## Listing our tokens index.js
