edgeware-cli

The edgeware CLI easily allows you to interact with a local or remote Edgeware node or any general substrate node. The api requires you to create a .env file with your keypair information, which will be described below.

Configuration

Create a .env file with the following information:

MNEMONIC_PHRASE=...
DERIVATION_PATH=...

Examples of some values are:

MNEMONIC_PHRASE="bottom drive obey lake curtain smoke basket hold race lonely fit walk"
DERIVATION_PATH=//Alice

Build

1. Requires: typescript version 3.2 or later, node version 12.3 or later
2. Clone the git repo.
3. Build by running tsc in the cloned repo.
4. Run with ./bin/edge.

Usage

1. Install the package with yarn or npm
2. If you run into errors, run tsc in the repo to compile the typescript.
3. If you want to send transactions, have the hex format of a key ready.
4. Call edge <module> <func> [...args] with the desired module function and args.
