Local Development
nix-shell
This runs a bash shell with project development dependencies
(e.g. npm
, cardano-wallet
) in the PATH
. See nix.md
for information on how to set up Nix.
Build the code
Transpile TypeScript to Javascript in the dist
directory, checking for errors:
npm run build
Do the compile as above, but automatically rebuild when a file changes
npm run build -- --watch
Run the tests
Runs all tests:
npm test
To run only unit
tests matching idempotent
(for example):
npm test unit -- -t idempotent
Run the test watcher (Jest) and prompt for usage:
npm test -- --watch
See the Jest command-line reference for all the options.
Note that the cli
tests require the code to already have been built
with npm run build
.
Linting and formatting the code
To check linter rules defined in .eslintrc.json
:
npm run lint
To automatically fix lint and formatting errors, where possible:
npm run lint -- --fix
Generate API Documentation
Generates API documentation to the site
folder.
npm run typedoc
Updating cardano-wallet version
To modify the cardano-wallet version, use niv update
.
nix-shell --run "niv update cardano-wallet -a rev={GIT_TAG}"
or, to use the latest master
branch revsion:
nix-shell --run "niv update cardano-wallet --branch master"
The version of cardano-node
is defined by cardano-wallet because it
has specific version requirements for its backends.
Overriding node backend versions
To use your own build of cardano-node
, export your PATH
environment variable so that your build is ahead of those set by the
nix-shell
.

Demo CLI
This is a very basic executable that lets you test the compiled library code from your shell.
# Build the javascript first.
npm run build
# cardano-node mainnet
./bin/cardano-launcher shelley mainnet $CARDANO_NODE_CONFIGS/mainnet ./state-mainnet
# cardano-node testnet
./bin/cardano-launcher shelley testnet $CARDANO_NODE_CONFIGS/testnet ./state-testnet
