dework JS

JS library for interacting with Soroban smart contract dework via Soroban RPC.

This library was automatically generated by Soroban CLI using a command similar to:

soroban contract bindings ts \
  --rpc-url https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org:443 \
  --network-passphrase "Test SDF Network ; September 2015" \
  --contract-id CAOBXIWOEJ7YIJ26L3LXH35CSADV5JKGMLZUV5QYLGU4CGJ2QYCUJCVW \
  --output-dir ./path/to/dework

The network passphrase and contract ID are exported from index.ts in the networks constant. If you are the one who generated this library and you know that this contract is also deployed to other networks, feel free to update networks with other valid options. This will help your contract consumers use this library more easily.

To publish or not to publish

This library is suitable for publishing to NPM. You can publish it to NPM using the npm publish command.

But you don't need to publish this library to NPM to use it. You can add it to your project's package.json using a file path:

"dependencies": {
  "dework": "./path/to/this/folder"
}

However, we've actually encountered frustration using local libraries with NPM in this way. Though it seems a bit messy, we suggest generating the library directly to your node_modules folder automatically after each install by using a postinstall script. We've had the least trouble with this approach. NPM will automatically remove what it sees as erroneous directories during the install step, and then regenerate them when it gets to your postinstall step, which will keep the library up-to-date with your contract.

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "soroban contract bindings ts --rpc-url https://soroban-testnet.stellar.org:443 --network-passphrase \"Test SDF Network ; September 2015\" --id CAOBXIWOEJ7YIJ26L3LXH35CSADV5JKGMLZUV5QYLGU4CGJ2QYCUJCVW --name dework"
}

Obviously you need to adjust the above command based on the actual command you used to generate the library.

Use it

Now that you have your library up-to-date and added to your project, you can import it in a file and see inline documentation for all of its exported methods:

import { Contract, networks } from "dework"

const contract = new Contract({
  ...networks.futurenet, // for example; check which networks this library exports
  rpcUrl: '...', // use your own, or find one for testing at https://soroban.stellar.org/docs/reference/rpc#public-rpc-providers
})

As long as your editor is configured to show JavaScript/TypeScript documentation, you can pause your typing at that | to get a list of all exports and inline-documentation for each. It exports a separate async function for each method in the smart contract, with documentation for each generated from the comments the contract's author included in the original source code.
