## Installation and Usage

```bash
npm install planetmint-driver
```

```js
const driver = require('planetmint-driver')
// or ES6+
import driver from 'planetmint-driver'
```

### Example: Create a transaction

```js
const driver = require('planetmint-driver')
const base58 = require('bs58');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const { Ed25519Sha256 } = require('crypto-conditions');

// Planetmint server instance (e.g. https://example.com/api/v1/)
const API_PATH = 'http://localhost:9984/api/v1/'

// Create a new keypair.
const alice = new driver.Ed25519Keypair()

// Construct a transaction payload
const tx = driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction(
    // Define the asset to store, in this example it is the current temperature
    // (in Celsius) for the city of Berlin.
    { city: 'Berlin, DE', temperature: 22, datetime: new Date().toString() },

    // Metadata contains information about the transaction itself
    // (can be `null` if not needed)
    { what: 'My first Planetmint transaction' },

    // A transaction needs an output
    [ driver.Transaction.makeOutput(
            driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey))
    ],
    alice.publicKey
)

// Sign the transaction with private keys
const txSigned = driver.Transaction.signTransaction(tx, alice.privateKey)

// Or use delegateSignTransaction to provide your own signature function
function signTransaction() {
    // get privateKey from somewhere
    const privateKeyBuffer = Buffer.from(base58.decode(alice.privateKey))
    return function sign(serializedTransaction, input, index) {
        const transactionUniqueFulfillment = input.fulfills ? serializedTransaction
                .concat(input.fulfills.transaction_id)
                .concat(input.fulfills.output_index) : serializedTransaction
        const transactionHash = crypto.createHash('sha3-256').update(transactionUniqueFulfillment).digest()
        const ed25519Fulfillment = new Ed25519Sha256();
        ed25519Fulfillment.sign(transactionHash, privateKeyBuffer);
        return ed25519Fulfillment.serializeUri();
    };
}
const txSigned = driver.Transaction.delegateSignTransaction(tx, signTransaction())

// Send the transaction off to Planetmint
const conn = new driver.Connection(API_PATH)

conn.postTransactionCommit(txSigned)
    .then(retrievedTx => console.log('Transaction', retrievedTx.id, 'successfully posted.'))
```

## Speed Optimizations

This implementation plays "safe" by using JS-native (or downgradable) libraries for its crypto-related functions to keep compatibilities with the browser. If you do want some more speed, feel free to explore the following:

* [chloride](https://github.com/dominictarr/chloride), or its underlying [sodium](https://github.com/paixaop/node-sodium) library
* [node-sha3](https://github.com/phusion/node-sha3) -- **MAKE SURE** to use [steakknife's fork](https://github.com/steakknife/node-sha3) if [the FIPS 202 upgrade](https://github.com/phusion/node-sha3/pull/25) hasn't been merged (otherwise, you'll run into all kinds of hashing problems)

## Development

```js
git clone git@github.com:planetmint/planetmint-driver-ts.git
cd planetmint-driver-ts/

npm i
npm run dev
```

After updating source files in `src/`, make sure to update the API documentation. The following command will scan all source files and create the Markdown output into `./API.md`:

```bash
npm run doc
```
