@interlay/polkabtc v0.17.1

PolkaBTC JS

JavaScript library to interact with PolkaBTC

Getting started

You can spin up the parachain including the different clients with docker-compose:

docker-compose up

If you want to run components individually, you can clone the repositories and run the commands as done in docker-compose.yml.

To install dependencies, run

yarn install

Build the library using

yarn build

To run only unit tests, use

yarn test:unit

Note that the parachain needs to be running for all tests to pass.

Then, to run tests, run

yarn test

Updating Types

Run the parachain (or indeed any Substrate node) and download the metadata:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"1", "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "state_getMetadata", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9933 > src/json/parachain.json

Then, update the metadata by building the library:

yarn build

Usage

The library assumes you have a BTC-Parachain running locally.

To use the library, you will first need to create a PolkadotJS APIPromise instance, and then to instantiate a PolkaBTCAPI instance.

import { createPolkabtcAPI } from "@interlay/polkabtc";

const defaultParachainEndpoint = "ws://127.0.0.1:9944";
const isMainnet = false;
const polkaBTC = await createPolkabtcAPI(defaultParachainEndpoint, isMainnet);

To emit transactions, an account has to be set. The account should conform to the AddressOrPair interface. If the account is not of the KeyringPair type, then a signer must also be provided (such as an injected extension signer, from the Polkadot wallet). See more details here: https://polkadot.js.org/docs/extension/usage/

import { createTestKeyring } from "@polkadot/keyring/testing";
const keyring = createTestKeyring();
const keypair = keyring.getPairs()[0];
polkaBTC.setAccount(keypair);

The different functionalities are then exposed through the PolkaBTCAPI instance.

Certain API calls require a parameters of type AccountId. For testing, an empty accountId will suffice:

import { AccountId } from "@polkadot/types/interfaces/runtime";

const activeStakedRelayerId = <AccountId>{};
const feesEarnedByActiveStakedRelayer = await polkaBTC.stakedRelayer.getFeesEarned(
    activeStakedRelayerId
);
