Mithril-client-wasm

This is a work in progress 🛠

• mithril-client-wasm defines all the tooling necessary to manipulate Mithril certified types available from a Mithril aggregator from a WASM compatible browser.

• The different types of available data certified by Mithril are:

  • Snapshot: list and get.
  • Mithril stake distribution: list and get.
  • Cardano transactions: list & get snapshots, get proofs
  • Certificate: list, get, and chain validation.

Installation

• Install a correctly configured Rust toolchain (latest stable version). You can follow the instructions provided here.

• Install Rust WASM Pack:

cargo install wasm-pack

• Install clang:

sudo apt install clang

• Install nodejs version 16.15+

sudo apt install nodejs

• Install npm version 8.11+

sudo apt install npm

[!WARNING] If you have troubles building the BLST library, you will need to:

• Install Emscripten
• For macOS users, consider reading this guide to activate the emcc command
• Use these environment variables to use this compiler (or prefix all following commands with them):

export CC=emcc
export AR=emar

Build Mithril client library in WASM

Go to the mithril-client-wasm directory:

cd mithril-client-wasm

Then you can build the WASM library:

make build

Run the Mithril client library in the browser

You will need to run the Mithril client library in a compatible browser:

| Browser | Minimum version | Released | Tested in CI | | --- |:---:|:---:|:---:| | Chrome | 54 | 2016-10-12 | :heavy_check_mark: | | Edge | 79 | 2020-01-15 | - | | Firefox | 38 | 2015-05-12 | :heavy_check_mark: | | Opera | 41 | 2016-10-25 | - | | Safari | 15.4 | 2022-03-14 | - | | Chrome Android | 54 | 2016-10-19 | - | | Firefox for Android | 38 | 2015-05-12 | - | | Opera Android | 41 | 2016-10-25 | - | | Safari on iOS | 15.4 | 2022-03-14 | - |

Go to the mithril-client-wasm directory:

cd mithril-client-wasm

Install the library:

make www-install

Then you can serve the Mithril client library in the browser:

make www-serve

Finally, open http://localhost:8080 with your browser. (port 8080 is the default port)
