Hedera™ Hashgraph SDK for JavaScript/TypeScript

Hedera Hashgraph's Javascript/TypeScript SDK

The Javascript/Typescript SDK for interacting with Hedera Hashgraph: the official distributed consensus platform built using the hashgraph consensus algorithm for fast, fair and secure transactions. Hedera enables and empowers developers to build an entirely new class of decentralized applications.

Usage

This SDK supports both running in the browser (with Webpack) and in Node.

(Code examples using await assume an async context.)

Installation

# with NPM
$ npm install --save @hashgraph/sdk
# with Yarn
$ yarn add @hashgraph/sdk

Creating a client

import {Client} from "@hashgraph/sdk";

const client = new Client({ 
    // this key defaults to this url, a public free proxy to the Hedera public testnet
    // generously hosted by MyHederaWallet.com
    network: { "https://grpc-web.myhederawallet.com": "0.0.3" },
    operator: {
        // the account which signs transactions and query payments by default
        account: { shard: 0, realm: 0, account: ___ },
        // the private key used to sign the transactions, either encoded as a string
        // or as an `Ed25519PrivateKey` type 
        privateKey: "..."
    },
});

Checking your balance

console.log('current account balance:', await client.getAccountBalance());

Sending a transfer

// the amount parameter can either be a `number` or a bignumber.js type
new CryptoTransferTransaction()
    .addSender({ shard: 0, realm: 0, account: ___ }, 10_000_000)
    .addRecipient({ shard: 0, realm: 0, account: ___ }, 10_000_000)
    .build(client)
    .execute(client);

Creating a new Account

import { Ed25519PrivateKey } from "@hashgraph/sdk";

const privateKey = await Ed25519PrivateKey.generate();
const publicKey = privateKey.publicKey;

const tx = new AccountCreateTransaction()
    .setKey(privateKey.publicKey)
    .setInitialBalance(0)
    .build(client);

await tx.execute(client);
const receipt = await tx.getReceipt(client);
const newAccount = receipt.accountId;

console.log('new account: ', newAccount, 'public key: ', publicKey.toString(), ' private key: ', privateKey.toString());

Running locally

Proxying from a browser

By default, you can specify which nodes you'd like to submit to, but this assumes that you're running in a server environment. If you're running from the browser, the SDK defaults to a gRPC proxy hosted by myhbarwallet and the LaunchBadge team. If you'd like to run your own proxy, please checkout the PROXY.md file to get setup!
