Creates an instance of Account with the given AccountKey. Account is for managing an account's address and AccountKey.
NOTE This is merely a data structure used in caver-js. This method does not create or update an account in the Klaytn network. NOTEcaver.klay.accounts.createWithAccountKey is supported since caver-js v1.2.0.
Parameters
Name
Type
Description
address
String
Address of an Account.
accountKey
String | Array | Object
An AccountKey instance (AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyMultiSig or AccountKeyRoleBased) or a data structure that contains the key info (a private key string, an array of private key strings or an object that defines the key for each role).
Return Value
Object - An Account instance is returned, with the following properties:
Name
Type
Description
address
String
The address of the account.
privateKey
String
Default key string of accountKey that the account has. This property is left for backward compatibility. privateKey only represents the default key of accountKey, so using privateKey to sign or send a transaction is not recommended. It is recommended to use transactionKey, updateKey, or feePayerKey in context.
accountKeyType
String
Type of accountKey the account has. This can be AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyMultiSig, or AccountKeyRoleBased
accountKey
Object
The key of the account. This is AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyMultiSig or AccountKeyRoleBased.
keys
String | Array | Object
All keys inside accountKey that the Account has. For AccountKeyPublic, this is a single private key string; for AccountKeyMultiSig, this returns an array containing all the private key strings. In the case of AccountKeyRoleBased, an object with keys associated with each role is returned.
transactionKey
String | Array
Key used for the RoleTransaction. AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig are not bound to any roles, so transactionKey holds the same value as keys.
updateKey
String | Array
Key used for the RoleAccountUpdate. AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig are not bound to any roles, so updateKey holds the same value as keys.
feePayerKey
String | Array
Key used for RoleFeePayer. AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig are not bound to any roles, so feePayerKey holds the same value as keys.
Creates an instance of AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyMultiSig, or AccountKeyRoleBased depending on the type of parameter.
AccountKey is a data structure for managing keys in caver-js. Use AccountKeyPublic if you want to use a single private key, AccountKeyMultiSig if you want to use multiple private keys, or AccountKeyRoleBased if you want to use a different key for each role.
NOTEcaver.klay.accounts.createAccountKey is supported since caver-js v1.2.0.
Parameters
Name
Type
Description
key
String | Array | Object
Key for generating AccountKey. If key is a single private key string, an AccountKeyPublic instance is created. If key is an array containing multiple private key strings, an AccountKeyMultiSig instance is created. If key is an object defining a key (a private key string or an array of private key strings) for each role, an AccountKeyRoleBased instance is created. AccountKeyRoleBased instance can have AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig for each role.
Return Value
Object - An AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyMultiSig or AccountKeyRoleBased instance is returned with the following properties:
Name
Type
Description
type
String
The type of AccountKey instance.
defaultKey
String
Default private key of AccountKey. The default private key represents a single private key string defined for AccountKeyPublic, and a private key string in the zeroth index of the array if AccountKeyMultiSig. For AccountKeyRoleBased, it represents the defaultKey of the first found AccountKey, where the AccountKey is searched in the following order: transactionkey, updateKey, feePayerKey.
keys
String | Array | Object
All private keys defined inside the AccountKey instance. For AccountKeyPublic, this is a single private key string; for AccountKeyMultiSig, this returns an array containing all the private key strings. In the case of AccountKeyRoleBased, an object with keys associated with each role is returned.
transactionKey
String | Array
Key used for the RoleTransaction. AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig are not bound to any roles, so transactionKey holds the same value as keys.
updateKey
String | Array
Key used for the RoleAccountUpdate. AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig are not bound to any roles, so updateKey holds the same value as keys.
feePayerKey
String | Array
Key used for RoleFeePayer. AccountKeyPublic or AccountKeyMultiSig are not bound to any roles, so feePayerKey holds the same value as keys.
This function converts the private key of AccountKey to public key.
NOTEcaver.klay.accounts.accountKeyToPublicKey is supported since caver-js v1.2.0.

options
Object
An optional object containing the threshold and weight. This is required when using AccountKeyMultiSig. If you use AccountkeyMultiSig as one of the keys in AccountKeyRoleBased, specify the role of the threshold and weight. The usage is shown in the example below.
Creates an AccountForUpdate instance to update the account's key with AccountKeyLegacy. Make sure you have a private key that matches your account address before updating to AccountKeyLegacy.
AccountForUpdate can be used in the account update transaction object (ACCOUNT_UPDATE, FEE_DELEGATED_ACCOUNT_UPDATE, or FEE_DELEGATED_ACCOUNT_UPDATE_WITH_RATIO) as a key. If you want to know how to use AccountForUpdate in the transaction, see Account update with AccountForUpdate.
NOTEcaver.klay.accounts.createAccountForUpdateWithLegacyKey is supported since caver-js v1.2.0.
Creates an AccountForUpdate instance to update the account's key with AccountKeyFail. Transactions sent by an account with AccountKeyFail always fail in the validation process.
AccountForUpdate can be used in the account update transaction object (ACCOUNT_UPDATE, FEE_DELEGATED_ACCOUNT_UPDATE, or FEE_DELEGATED_ACCOUNT_UPDATE_WITH_RATIO) as a key. If you want to know how to use AccountForUpdate in the transaction, see Account update with AccountForUpdate.
NOTEcaver.klay.accounts.createAccountForUpdateWithFailKey is supported since caver-js v1.2.0.
Signs a Klaytn transaction with a given private key.
Since caver-js v1.2.0, this method takes an RLP-encoded transaction as an input as well as a plain transaction object. See caver.klay.sendTransaction for the various types of transaction object. This method basically signs as a sender. If you want to sign as a fee-payer, we recommend to use caver.klay.accounts.feePayerSignTransaction. But, fee-payers can still sign using this method by passing an object, {senderRawTransaction: rawTransaction, feePayer: feePayerAddress}, as tx. senderRawTransaction must be a FEE_DELEGATED_ type transaction.
Also since caver-js v1.2.0, signTransaction keeps the existing signatures/feePayerSignatures in the input transaction and appends the signature(s) of the signer to it.

wallet
caver.klay.accounts.wallet
Contains an in-memory wallet with multiple accounts. These accounts can be used when using caver.klay.sendTransaction.
Adds an account using a private key or account object to the wallet.
NOTE: If the same address exists inside the wallet, an error is returned. If you want to change the private key associated to an account in the wallet, please use caver.klay.accounts.wallet.updatePrivateKey.
A target address which will be used with a given private key.
NOTE: caver-js supports two types of private key formats. One is a raw private key format of a 32-byte string type and the other is the KlaytnWalletKey.
Return the Klaytn wallet key for the account on the wallet of caver-js.
Parameters
Name
Type
Description
indexOrAddress
Number|String
An index in the wallet address list, an address in hexadecimal. The given value should exist in the caver-js wallet.
Return Value
Type
Description
String
KlaytnWalletKey that matches the account. This value allows you to log in to the wallet.
Example
// With non-human-readable address>caver.klay.accounts.wallet.getKlaytnWalletKey(0)'0x{private key}0x{type}0x{address in hex}'// With index of wallet list>caver.klay.accounts.wallet.getKlaytnWalletKey(1)'0x{private key}0x{type}0x{address in hex}'// With an address in hexadecimal>caver.klay.accounts.wallet.getKlaytnWalletKey('0xa9d40b07a6d06e7b7af6cf9a17fb107c9fc7fe58')'0x{private key}0x{type}0x{address in hex}'// If the given account does not exist in the caver-js wallet, returns an error.>caver.klay.accounts.wallet.getKlaytnWalletKey('0x35170d0c774b8c80e9f802a7af6d0497e621c215')Error: Failed to find account
Update the account's private key information stored in the wallet.
NOTE: This function only changes the information stored in the wallet of caver-js. This function has no effect on the key information stored on the Klaytn network. Keys in the Klaytn network can be changed by sending a 'ACCOUNT_UPDATE' transaction.
NOTEupdatePrivateKey only works if the account's accountKey is AccountKeyPublic. Since caver-js v1.2.0 supports AccountKeys (AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyMultiSig, AccountKeyRoleBased), privateKey becomes a read-only property referencing the defaultKey of the accountKey. This method does not directly update the privateKey, instead update the accountKey. This method is maintained for backward-compatibility. It is now recommended to use more generic caver.klay.accounts.wallet.updateAccountKey.
Parameters
Name
Type
Description
privateKey
String
New private key to be used for updates.
address
String
The account address in the wallet.
Return Value
Type
Description
Object
Account instance with the new accountKey. The Account instance lives in-memory caver-js wallet.
Update the account's account key information stored in the wallet. When you update your account's accountKey, privateKey is updated as well to the defaultKey of the new accountKey.
If the accountKey parameter is a single private key string, the account's accountKey is updated with an AccountKeyPublic instance. If the accountKey parameter is an array with multiple private key strings, the account's accountKey is updated with an AccountKeyMultiSig instance. If the accountKey parameter is an object whose keys are defined by roles, the account's accountKey is updated with an AccountKeyRoleBased instance.
NOTE: This function only changes the information stored in the wallet of caver-js. This function has no effect on the key information stored on the Klaytn network. Keys in the Klaytn network can be changed by sending a 'ACCOUNT_UPDATE' transaction.
NOTEcaver.klay.accounts.wallet.updateAccountKey is supported since caver-js v1.2.0.
