aepp-sdk

JavaScript SDK for the revolutionary æternity blockchain, targeting the æternity node implementation.

aepp-sdk is hosted on GitHub.

Disclaimer

This SDK is at an alpha stage where things easily can break. We aim to make our alpha releases as stable as possible. Neverless it should not be taken as production-ready. To catch up with the more edgy state of development please check out the develop branch.

Usage Documentation

1. Add the latest @aeternity/aepp-sdk release from npmjs.com to your project using one of these commands

pnpm i @aeternity/aepp-sdk
# or
npm i @aeternity/aepp-sdk
# or
yarn add @aeternity/aepp-sdk

Note: To install a Pre-Release (latest beta or alpha version) using on the latest Epoch version, you have to install the package appending the @next tag reference.

pnpm i @aeternity/aepp-sdk@next
npm i @aeternity/aepp-sdk@next
yarn add @aeternity/aepp-sdk@next

Hint: You can also add a development version from GitHub by dropping the @ and adding # and a branch name at the end, for example pnpm i aeternity/aepp-sdk#develop.

2. Import the right flavor. For this example with get the Uninveral flavor, which contains all the features of the SDK:

import Ae from '@aeternity/aepp-sdk/es/ae/universal' // or any other flavor
import MemoryAccount from '@aeternity/aepp-sdk/es/account/memory'

3. Create an instance and interact with it

// Start the instance

Ae({
  url: 'https://sdk-testnet.aepps.com',
  internalUrl: 'https://sdk-testnet.aepps.com',
  accounts: [
    MemoryAccount({ keypair: { secretKey: 'A_PRIV_KEY', publicKey: 'A_PUB_ADDRESS' }})
  ],
  networkId: 'aet_ua' // or any other networkId your client should connect to
}).then(ae => {

  // Interacting with the blockchain client

  // getting the latest block height
  ae.height().then(height => {
    // logs current height
    console.log('height', height)
  }).catch(e => {
    // logs error
    console.log(e)
  })

  // getting the balance of a public address
  ae.balance('A_PUB_ADDRESS').then(balance => {
    // logs current balance of "A_PUB_ADDRESS"
    console.log('balance', balance)
  }).catch(e => {
    // logs error
    console.log(e)
  })
})

4. IMPORTANT: 🤓 Check out the Usage Documentation to avoid common pitfalls!

Remember: you can also "compose" your own flavor by mixing 2 or more flavors likes so:

import Wallet from '@aeternity/aepp-sdk/es/ae/wallet.js'
import Contract from '@aeternity/aepp-sdk/es/ae/contract.js'
import MemoryAccount from '@aeternity/aepp-sdk/es/account/memory.js'

// make a "mixed flavor" containing Wallet and Contracts flavors
Wallet.compose(Contract)({
            url: 'https://sdk-testnet.aepps.com',
            internalUrl: 'https://sdk-testnet.aepps.com',
            accounts: [MemoryAccount({keypair: {secretKey: account.priv, publicKey: account.pub}})],
            address: account.pub,
            onTx: true, // or a function to Guard the Rpc client
            onChain: true, // or a function to Guard the Rpc client
            onAccount: true, // or a function to Guard the Rpc client
            networkId: 'ae_uat'
          }).then(ae => {
            // ae is your initialised client now! :)
            // ...
