How to send ether to a contract when deploying the contract?

Question

I have a contract like the following:

contract HoneyPot {

  mapping (address => uint) public balances;

  function HoneyPot() payable {
    balances[msg.sender] = msg.value;
  }

}

When deploying the contract I want to send some ether so the balances[msg.sender] for the account deploying the contract gets a balance equal to the amount of ether sent. How should this be done?

Here is how I am deploying the contract:

const fs = require("fs");
const solc = require('solc');
let Web3 = require('web3');
let web3 = new Web3();
web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));
let go = fs.readFileSync('HoneyPot.sol').toString();
let compiledContract = solc.compile(go);
abiDefinition = JSON.parse(compiledContract.contracts[':HoneyPot'].interface);
contract = web3.eth.contract(abiDefinition);
byteCode = '0x'+compiledContract.contracts[':HoneyPot'].bytecode;
let gasEstimate = web3.eth.estimateGas({data: byteCode});

And finally the line that deploys it (without sending ether):

deployedContract = contract.new({from:web3.eth.accounts[0],data:byteCode,gas: gasEstimate+40000});

Answer 1

You can call HoneyPot function as follows:

deployedContract.HoneyPot({from:web3.eth.accounts[0],value:100})

Hope it helps~

Answer 2

Just add "value" to the line that deploys the contract.

deployedContract = contract.new({from:web3.eth.accounts[0], value: 5 wei, data:byteCode,gas: gasEstimate+40000});
