Access Controller Contracts

Simple on-chain access controller contract. This contract permit an on-chain registration mechanism with a concept of slots.

Owner can specify a number of slots (maxSlotsCount). Everyone is able to register to get a slot. When the slotUsedCount eq the maxSlotsCount there is no more space to register.

With this simple approach you can use an on-chain contract to manage accesses of your contracts or even of your frontends. This is a very useful tool when you want to give progessive access.

Contracts

The contract has three state variables:

@storage_var
func AccessController_maxSlotsCount() -> (max: felt):
end

@storage_var
func AccessController_slotUsedCount() -> (entries: felt):
end

@storage_var
func AccessController_whitelist(address: felt) -> (whitelisted: felt):
end

Deploy

When deploying the contract you have to pass two args:

(
    initial_allowed_access: felt, # Number of initial slots available
    owner_address: felt           # Owner of the contract who will be able to increase # of slots
)

Management

Once you deployed the contract, you can increase the number of maximum slots available. To do that make a transaction by invoking the increaseMaxSlots function from the owner wallet. The argument is increase_max_slots_by which is the number of slots you want to add.

Use in ReactJS

Using this contract is deadsimple. First of all import ABI and create your Contract object:

import { Contract, json } from "starknet";

const compiledARFController = json.parse(JSON.stringify(arfControllerAbi));
arfControllerContract: new Contract(
    compiledARFController,
    CONTROLLER_CONTRACT_ADDRESS
);

Verify if an address is allowed/registered:

accessControllerContract
    .isAllowed("0x1234...6789")
    .then((response: CallContractResponse) => {
        // response.is_allowed
    })

Permit a user to register in order to get a free slot:

accessControllerContract
    .invoke("register", [])
    .then((response: AddTransactionResponse) => {
        // Transaction added
    }).catch(() => {
        // Error
    });

Check the number of available slots:

accessControllerContract
      .freeSlotsCount()
      .then((response: CallContractResponse) => {
        // response.free_slots_count
      })

Use case

This contract has been used for Alpha Road during the first Testnet phases of the launch of our first offering: a one-click revisited AMM.

Tests

Run tests

First, install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

Run all tests:

pytest

Run a specific test:

pytest tests/test_AccessController.py -k test_transfer_ownership_should_fail_when_caller_is_not_owner

Linter

To make our tests readable we use a standard linter: flake8

Run linter:

flake8 . --count --exit-zero --max-complexity=10 --max-line-length=120 --statistics

Flake will only act as linter and will not help you to fix/format your python files. We recommend using: yapf

E.g:

yapf --recursive --style='{based_on_style: pep8, column_limit: 120, indent_width: 4}' -i tests
