@blobaa/ardor-ts v2.8.3

ardor-ts

An Ardor client library written in TypeScript.

Installation

npm install @blobaa/ardor-ts

Development

You need to have Node.js installed.

To initialize the project just clone this repository and run

npm install

For linting run

npm run lint

You can try to autofix lint errors with

npm run fix-lint

For unit testing run the following associated commands

browser:

npm run test-browser

node:

npm run test-node

both:

npm test

Because broadcasting a transaction costs fees, the transaction post request tests are disabled by default. You can enable them in the test/config.ts file.

APIs

The library consist of the following modules:

Request

This module creates requests to communicate with an ardor node. It handles get requests and transaction post requests. Every request which involves a transaction creation is signed locally so that your passphrase is never transmitted to an ardor node.

Each function has the following singature:

functionName(url: string, params: FunctionNameParams): Promise<FunctionNameResponse>

The functionName corresponds to the ardor API request type, the functionNameParams interface to the request parameters and the functionNameResponse interface to the JSON response properties (see API console).

An example request to get the current account balance might look like this:

import { request, GetBalanceParams, ChainId, ErrorResponse } from '@blobaa/ardor-ts'


const exampleRequest = async () => {
    
    /* set request parameters */
    const params: GetBalanceParams = {
        chain: ChainId.IGNIS,
        account: "ARDOR-XCTG-FVBM-9KNX-3DA6B"
    }

    try {

        /* create and emit a request */
        const response = await request.getBalance("https://testardor.jelurida.com", params);

        /* the response implements the GetBalanceResponse interface */
        console.log(response.balanceNQT);
        console.log(response.unconfirmedBalanceNQT);
        console.log(response.requestProcessingTime);

    } catch(e) {

        /* check the error type */
        const error = e as ErrorResponse;
        if(error.errorCode) {

            /* error is an api error */
            console.log(error.errorDescription);
            console.log(error.errorCode);

        } else {

            /* error is an axios error */
            console.log(e);

        }
    }
}

exampleRequest();

The following requests are implemented:

get requests

- decodeToken(url: string, params: DecodeTokenParams): Promise<DecodeTokenResponse>
- getAccountProperties(url: string, params: GetAccountPropertiesParams): Promise<GetAccountPropertiesResponse>
- getBalance(url: string, params: GetBalanceParams): Promise<GetBalanceResponse>
- getBlockchainTransactions(url: string, params: GetBlockchainTransactionsParams): Promise<GetBlockchainTransactionsResponse>
- getBundlerRates(url: string, params: GetBundlerRatesParams): Promise<GetBundlerRatesResponse>
- getTransaction(url: string, params: GetTransactionParams): Promise<GetTransactionResponse>
- downloadTaggedData(url: string, params: DownloadTaggedDataParams): Promise<DownloadTaggedDataResponse>

transaction post requests

- broadcastTransaction(url: string, params: BroadcastTransactionParams): Promise<BroadcastTransactionResponse>
- deleteAccountProperty(url: string, params: DeleteAccountPropertyParams): Promise<DeleteAccountPropertyResponse>
- sendMessage(url: string, params: SendMessageParams): Promise<SendMessageResponse>
- sendMoney(url: string, params: SendMoneyParams): Promise<SendMoneyResponse>
- setAccountProperty(url: string, params: SetAccountPropertyParams): Promise<SetAccountPropertyResponse>
- uploadTaggedData(url: string, params: UploadTaggedDataParams): Promise<UploadTaggedDataResponse> // only data upload (no file upload) supported

Account

The Account module is a wrapper of a forked version of the ardorjs package. It handles transaction signing, account conversions and token generation.

It provides the following APIs:

- convertPassphraseToPublicKey(passphrase: string, toByteArray?: boolean): string | Array<number> // toByteArray defaults to false
- convertPublicKeyToAccountId(publicKey: string): string
- convertPublicKeyToAccountRs(publicKey: string): string
- convertPassphraseToAccountId(passphrase: string): string
- convertPassphraseToAccountRs(passphrase: string): string
- checkAccountRs(accountRs: string): boolean // ok => true, error => false
- generateToken(message: string, passphrase: string, forTestnet?: boolean): string // forTestnet defaults to false
- signTransactionBytes(unsignedTransactionBytesHex: string, passphrase: string): string
- verifyTransactionBytes(unsignedTransactionBytesHex: string, transactionType: string, transactionJSON: object, publicKey: string): boolean

Passphrase

This module provides passphrase generation. It uses the bip39 package with the default english wordlist.

API:

 - generate(): string

Time

The Time module handles conversions between Ardor epoch timestamps and unix timestamps.

It provides the following APIs:

- convertUnixToArdorTimestamp(timestampInMsec: number, isTestnetTimestamp?: boolean): number // isTestnetTimestamp defaults to false
- convertArdorToUnixTimestamp(timestamp: number, isTestnetTimestamp?: boolean): number // isTestnetTimestamp defaults to false

ChainCurrency

The ChainCurrency module handles conversions between a chain currency representation and its base value. For example: ARDR has 8 decimals so that 1 ARDR can be converted to 100000000 ARDR NQTs which is called the base unit here.

It provides the following APIs:

- convertToBaseUnit(amount: number, currencyType: ChainCurrencyType): number;
- convertFromBaseUnit(amount: number, currencyType: ChainCurrencyType): number;

Module Instantiation

Each module is pre instantiated and importable via the lower case module name. If you need the class definition of a module, import it via the upper case name. For example:

import { passphrase, Passphrase } from '@blobaa/ardor-ts'


/* use the default instance */
const passphrase1 = passphrase.generate();
console.log(passphrase1);

/* use your own instance */
const myPassphrase = new Passphrase();
const passphrase2 = myPassphrase.generate();
console.log(passphrase2);

Enjoy :)
