JS/TS helpers for Solana

helpers's Issues

Specific web3.js dependency results in multiple versions being installed

@nickfrosty mentioned earlier this morning.

Cannot find module '@solana-developers/helpers' or its corresponding type declarations

As part of this tutorial https://www.soldev.app/course/intro-to-writing-data there is this line

import { getKeypairFromEnvironment, airdropIfRequired } from "@solana-developers/helpers";

after adding/install with npm i @solana-developers/helpers I still get the following error reported by vscode

Cannot find module '@solana-developers/helpers' or its corresponding type declarations

and when running the ts file

Could not resolve "@solana-developers/helpers"

Even though I can see the package in "node_modules/@solana-developers/helpers"

Make rules for wiggle room for compute unit limit?

Q. you don't add any buffer?
A. I think right now we have it as 1.2x the usage, clamped between 25k and 100k extra. For the sake of simplicity I didn't in that example. Left a comment that one should probably be added. Maybe I should be more explicit though 🤷‍♂️

We may want to include this in code.

Add a way to load or create a keypair as necessary

From @nickfrosty:

helpers idea: loadOrCreateKeypair
accepts an env var name of file path name
if file path provided, attempt to load it or generate/save a fresh one to that path
when a new keypair is generated:
optional flag to auto airdrop it
same thing for env var. if it exists, load it. if it does not generate/save it

MM: similar to https://github.com/Unboxed-Software/solana-cnft-demo/blob/starter/src/utils.ts#L24 used in the course for compressed NFTs, which would support making this.

Make a single airdrop functions that *always* expects a minimum balance.

Nick and I were talking and we both like this:

We want to avoid people bothering the faucet unnecessarily but still make sure they can get devnet SOL when needed.
We could make requestAndConfirmAirdropIfRequired() the default technique.
Eg, requestAndConfirmAirdrop() is the only function that gets airdrops, always expects a balance in the function signature. So people, without thinking about it, never actually sends a request for devnet SOL when they don't need any.
Will be a breaking change so will bump to version 2 when I do.

Speed up CI by caching the Solana CLI
