Overview

First, install create-interchain-app globally using npm:

npm install -g create-interchain-app

Then, create your new Cosmos app by running the following command:

# you can also use `cia` instead of `create-interchain-app` for shortcut ;)
create-interchain-app

During the setup process, you'll be prompted to enter the name of your app. For example:

> name: my-app

Once the app is created, move into the app directory and start the development server:

cd my-app
yarn && yarn dev

Now your app should be running on http://localhost:3000!

Interchain JavaScript Stack Template

This template provides everything you need to build modern Interchain applications. You don't need to install or configure interchainjs, keplr, nextjs, webpack or Babel.

Everything is preconfigured, ready-to-go, so you can focus on your code!

• ⚡️ Connect easily to 20+ wallets via Interchain Kit — including Ledger, Keplr, Cosmostation, Leap, Trust Wallet, OKX, XDEFI, Exodus, Wallet Connect and more!
• ⚛️ Sign and broadcast with InterchainJS
• 🎨 Build awesome UI with Interchain UI and Explore Components
• 🛠 Render pages with next.js hybrid static & server rendering
• 📝 Leverage chain-registry for Chain and Asset info for all IBC-connected chains

Creating an App

To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods:

global install

npm install -g create-interchain-app

Then run the command:

create-interchain-app

we also made an alias cia if you don't want to type create-interchain-app:

cia

npx

npx create-interchain-app

npm

npm init interchain-app

Yarn

yarn create interchain-app

Examples

The create-interchain-app tool provides a range of examples to help you understand and test various features and integrations. By executing the examples, you can quickly see how to implement specific functionalities in your Cosmos app.

cia --example

If you know the example name, you can do

cia --example <example-name>

Alternatively, you can use the shorthand -e flag to achieve the same:

cia -e <example-name>

This command will generate a new project configured with the selected example, allowing you to dive into the code and functionality right away.

Stake Tokens

Initiate and manage staking operations directly within your application, allowing users to stake tokens securely and efficiently.

cia --name stake-example --example stake-tokens

Vote Proposal

Facilitate on-chain governance by enabling users to vote on proposals, enhancing community engagement and decision-making.

cia --name vote-example --example vote-proposal

Authz

Leverage the Authz module to grant and manage authorizations, allowing users to perform actions on behalf of others.

cia --name authz-example --example authz

grpc-web and grpc-gateway

Integrate gRPC-web and gRPC-gateway in your app for robust and efficient communication between your Cosmos SDK blockchain and web clients.

cia --name grpc-example --example grpc-web-grpc-gateway

Swap Tokens

Utilize osmojs for streamlined token swapping capabilities within your Osmosis app.

cia --name swap-example --example swap-tokens

Provide Liquidity

Use osmojs to enable liquidity provision features, enhancing the DeFi experience in your app.

cia --name liquidity-example --example provide-liquidity

Asset List

Create and manage an asset list, offering comprehensive insights into the available assets, and empower your application with Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) capabilities for transferring tokens across different chains.

cia --name ibc-asset-list-example --example ibc-asset-list

Options

Development

Because the nature of how template boilerplates are generated, we generate yarn.lock files inside of nested packages so we can fix versions to avoid non-deterministic installations.

When adding packages, yarn workspaces will use the root yarn.lock. It could be ideal to remove it while adding packages, and when publishing or pushing new changes, generating the nested lock files.

In the root, to remove all nested lock files:

yarn locks:remove

When you need to remove/generate locks for all nested packages, simply run yarn locks in the root:

yarn locks
