### KeyChainManager / idStore 2.0 (maybe just in MetaMaskController)
keychains: []
getAllAccounts(cb)
getAllKeychainViewStates(cb) -> returns [ KeyChainViewState]
#### Old idStore external methods, for feature parity:
- init(configManager)
- setStore(ethStore)
- getState()
- getSelectedAddres()
- setSelectedAddress()
- createNewVault()
- recoverFromSeed()
- submitPassword()
- approveTransaction()
- cancelTransaction()
- addUnconfirmedMessage(msgParams, cb)
- signMessage()
- cancelMessage()
- setLocked()
- clearSeedWordCache()
- exportAccount()
- revealAccount()
- saveAccountLabel()
- tryPassword()
- recoverSeed()
- getNetwork()
##### Of those methods
Where they should end up:
##### MetaMaskController
- getNetwork()
##### KeyChainManager
- init(configManager)
- setStore(ethStore)
- getState() // Deprecate for unidirectional flow
- on('update', cb)
- createNewVault(password)
- getSelectedAddres()
- setSelectedAddress()
- submitPassword()
- tryPassword()
- approveTransaction()
- cancelTransaction()
- signMessage()
- cancelMessage()
- setLocked()
- exportAccount()
##### Bip44 KeyChain
- getState() // Deprecate for unidirectional flow
- on('update', cb)
If we adopt a ReactStore style unidirectional action dispatching data flow, these methods will be unified under a `dispatch` method, and rather than having a cb will emit an update to the UI:
- createNewKeyChain(entropy)
- recoverFromSeed()
- approveTransaction()
- signMessage()
- clearSeedWordCache()
- exportAccount()
- revealAccount()
- saveAccountLabel()
- recoverSeed()
Additional methods, new to this:
- serialize()
- Returns pojo with optional `secret` key whose contents will be encrypted with the users' password and salt when written to disk.
- The isolation of secrets is to preserve performance when decrypting user data.
- deserialize(pojo)
### KeyChain (ReduxStore?)
// attributes
@name
signTx(txParams, cb)
signMsg(msg, cb)
getAddressList(cb)
getViewState(cb) -> returns KeyChainViewState
serialize(cb) -> obj
deserialize(obj)
dispatch({ type: <str>, value: <pojo> })
### KeyChainViewState
// The serialized, renderable keychain data
accountList: [],
typeName: 'uPort',
iconAddress: 'uport.gif',
internal: {} // Subclass-defined metadata
### KeyChainReactComponent
// takes a KeyChainViewState
// Subclasses of this:
- KeyChainListItemComponent
- KeyChainInitComponent - Maybe part of the List Item
- KeyChainAccountHeaderComponent
- KeyChainConfirmationComponent
// Account list item, tx confirmation extra data (like a QR code),
// Maybe an options screen, init screen,
how to send actions?
emitAction(keychains.<id>.didInit)
gimmeRemoteKeychain((err, remoteKeychain)=>

KeyChainReactComponent({
keychain
})
Keychain:
methods:{},
cachedAccountList: [],
name: '',
CoinbaseKeychain
getAccountList
CoinbaseKeychainComponent
isLoading = true
keychain.getAccountList(()=>{
isLoading=false
accountList=accounts
})
KeyChainViewState {
attributes: {
//mandatory:
accountList: [],
typeName: 'uPort',
iconAddress: 'uport.gif',
internal: {
// keychain-specific metadata
proxyAddresses: {
0xReal: '0xProxy'
}
},
},
methods: {
// arbitrary, internal
}
}
## A note on the security of arbitrary action dispatchers
Since keychains will be dispatching actions that are then passed through the background process to be routed, we should not trust or require them to include their own keychain ID as a prefix to their action, but we should tack it on ourselves, so that no action dispatched by a KeyChainComponent ever reaches any KeyChain other than its own.
