Divisible Assets
----------------
Yet to come!
All assets in BigchainDB become implicitly divisible if a transaction contains more than one of that asset (well see how this happens shortly).
Let's assume we have created a token to pay each other for small transactions like a beer or some food between friends.
.. code-block:: js
const token = {
'value': '1 euro'
}
Let's create the asset. Note that we give an extra parameter to the ``makeOutput()`` function.
We give it the parameter ``'4'`` to indicate that we want to create 4 tokens.
**Pay attention to give the function a String instead of a plain Number.**
.. code-block:: js
const txCreateAliceDivisible = driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction(
token,
{metaDataMessage: 'I am specific to this create transaction'},
[driver.Transaction.makeOutput(driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey), '4')],
alice.publicKey
)
Alice goes dining at Bob and Carly. She decides to give a small fee to Bob and Carly.
Alice decides to issue 4 tokens as a payment for her food: one to Bob, two to Carly and one to herself.
Why one to herself? If you decide to fulfill an output, you have to spend all tokens.
So if you want to keep one token for yourself, you have to transfer it to yourself.
As you can see, we fulfill the first output of the create transaction (it's 0 because we start counting from 0).
This gives us 4 tokens to transfer.
.. code-block:: js
const txTransferDivisible = driver.Transaction.makeTransferTransaction(
txCreateAliceDivisibleSigned,
{
metaDataMessage: 'I am specific to this transfer transaction'
},
[
driver.Transaction.makeOutput(driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(carly.publicKey), '2'),
driver.Transaction.makeOutput(driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(bob.publicKey), '1'),
driver.Transaction.makeOutput(driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey), '1')
], 0);
To make the use of the last parameter of ``makeTransferTransaction()`` function more clear, we will do another transfer.
We will fulfill the first and second output of the create transaction (0, 1) because Carly and Bob decide to redistribute some money.
* Output 0 represents 2 tokens for Carly
* Output 1 represents 1 token for Bob
This gives us 3 tokens to redistribute. I want to give 1 token to Carly and 2 tokens Alice.
.. code-block:: js
const txTransferDivisibleInputs = driver.Transaction.makeTransferTransaction(
txTransferDivisibleSigned,
{
metaDataMessage: 'I am specific to this transfer transaction'
},
[
driver.Transaction.makeOutput(driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(carly.publicKey), '1'),
driver.Transaction.makeOutput(driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey), '2')
], 0, 1)
Because we want to fulfill two outputs (Carly and Bob), we have to sign the transfer transaction in the same order:
.. code-block:: js
const txTransferDivisibleInputsSigned = driver.Transaction.signTransaction(
txTransferDivisibleInputs,
carly.privateKey, bob.privateKey)
Here is a better overview of the flow of the tokens.
