1 - Introduction

1.1 - Installation

For the browser:

Download the library source, open the dist/ folder and put nem-sdk.js into your project.

Library include the require() function so you can require() the module directly

<script src="nem-sdk.js"></script>
<script>
  // Include the library
  var nem = require("nem-sdk").default;
  console.log(nem)
</script>

For Node:

Using npm:

npm install nem-sdk

// Use require
var nem = require("nem-sdk").default;

// ES6
import nem from 'nem-sdk';

Using build/ folder:

// Use the build/ folder
var nem = require("path/to/build/index.js").default;

1.2 - Build

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build:

npm run build

Build for the browser (after above build):

npm run browserify

1.3 - Organisation

The SDK is organised in namespaces and sub-namespaces.

There is 4 main namespaces:

Return:

{
    "amount": 10,
    "recipient": "TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S",
    "recipientPublicKey": "",
    "isMultisig": false,

    "message": "Hello",
    "isEncrypted" : false,
    "mosaics": []
}

2.3 - More

Consult src/model/objects.js for details about objects and creation parameters

3 - Transactions

Namespace: nem.model.transactions

Public methods:

• prepare
• send
• prepareMessage

Keywords:

• transferTransaction
• mosaicTransferTransaction
• signatureTransaction

This namespace is used to prepare and send transactions.

For now only preparation of simple and mosaics transactions with encrypted, unencrypted and hex messages are implemented.

3.1 - Create and prepare transaction objects

In part 2 you can see in the examples how to build a transfer transaction object, with or without data.

Transaction objects you will create via nem.model.objects are un-prepared transaction objects. They only contain raw / incomplete data and need to be arranged before being signed and sent.

Using the prepare method takes different parameters depending of the transaction object.

Parameters

transferTransaction

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|------------------------------| common | object | A common object | tx | object | A transferTransaction object | network | number | A network id |

mosaicTransferTransaction

Name | Type | Description | ------------------------------|------------------|---------------------------------------| common | object | A common object | tx | object | A transferTransaction object | mosaicDefinitionMetaDataPair | object | A mosaicDefinitionMetaDataPair object (see 3.4)| network | number | A network id |

Usage:

// Prepare a transaction object
var preparedTransaction = nem.model.transactions.prepare("keyword")(param1, param2, ...);

Transfer transaction example:

// Create an object with parameters
var transferTransaction = nem.model.objects.create("transferTransaction")("TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S", 10, "Hello");

// Prepare the above object
var transactionEntity = nem.model.transactions.prepare("transferTransaction")(common, transferTransaction, nem.model.network.data.testnet.id)

Return:

{
	type: 257,
  	version: -1744830463,
  	signer: '0257b05f601ff829fdff84956fb5e3c65470a62375a1cc285779edd5ca3b42f6',
  	timeStamp: 62995509,
  	deadline: 62999109,
  	recipient: 'TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S',
  	amount: 10000000,
  	fee: 2000000,
  	message: { type: 1, payload: '48656c6c6f' },
  	mosaics: null
}

You can easily see the difference between an un-prepared transaction object (2.2) and above prepared object.

Note:

Amounts are in the smallest unit possible in a prepared transaction object:

1000000 = 1 XEM

Signature transaction example:

// Create an object with parameters (multisig account address and inner transaction hash)
var signatureTransaction = nem.model.objects.create("signatureTransaction")("TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S", "161d7f74ab9d332acd46f96650e74371d65b6e1a0f47b076bdd7ccea37903175");

// Prepare the above object
var transactionEntity = nem.model.transactions.prepare("signatureTransaction")(common, signatureTransaction, nem.model.network.data.testnet.id)

Return:

{
  type: 4098,
  version: -1744830463,
  signer: '0257b05f601ff829fdff84956fb5e3c65470a62375a1cc285779edd5ca3b42f6',
  timeStamp: 62995509,
  deadline: 62999109,
  otherHash: {
    data: '161d7f74ab9d332acd46f96650e74371d65b6e1a0f47b076bdd7ccea37903175'
  },
  otherAccount: 'TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S',
  fee: 6000000
}

3.2 - Sending prepared transactions

Once your transaction is prepared simply use the send method of the namespace.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|-------------------------------| common | object | A common object | entity | object | A prepared transaction object | endpoint | object | An endpoint object |

Example

// Serialize transfer transaction and announce
nem.model.transactions.send(common, transactionEntity, endpoint).then(function(res) {....});

return

A NemAnnounceResult object (http://bob.nem.ninja/docs/#nemAnnounceResult)

3.3 - Transfer transactions without mosaics

The two provided example speaks for themselves:

• See examples/node/transfer.js for node
• See examples/browser/transfer for browser

The node version contains only the strict necessary while browser example needs to handle form and update fees.

3.4 - Transfer transactions with mosaics

• See examples/node/mosaicTransfer.js for node
• See examples/browser/mosaicTransfer for browser

Similar to transfer transaction, it use the same un-prepared transferTransaction object, but needs an array of mosaicAttachment objects.

Keyword of the preparation function is mosaicTransferTransaction.

Preparation of mosaic transfer transactions requires a mosaicDefinitionMetaDataPair object containing mosaic definitions of the mosaics you are joining to the transaction.

Definitions are needed to know informations about the included mosaic(s) and calculate quantity and fee accordingly.

Two ways are possible to get mosaic definitions:

1. You can take it from NIS API using http://bob.nem.ninja/docs/#retrieving-mosaic-definitions and put the definition into model/objects.js, in the mosaicDefinitionMetaDataPair object (like shown by the comments). If mosaics used in your application are fixed, it is the way to go.

2. Query the network using the embedded API requests (nem.com.requests.namespace.mosaicDefinitions) as shown in the examples. If mosaics used in your application are not fixed, it is the way to go.

4 - Communications

4.1 - Create endpoints

To communicate with an NIS you need an endpoint object. The object contains the node host and port so it is easier to handle.

Examples

// Custom endpoint
var endpoint = nem.model.objects.create("endpoint")("http://myNode", 7890);

// Using sdk data
var endpoint = nem.model.objects.create("endpoint")(nem.model.nodes.defaultTestnet, nem.model.nodes.defaultPort);

4.2 - API requests

Namespace: nem.com.requests

22 NIS API calls and a few other external requests are implemented and organised in namespaces:

nem.com.requests.account

• data: Gets account data
• forwarded: Gets the account data of the account for which the given account is the delegate account
• harvesting.blocks: Gets harvested blocks
• harvesting.stop: Stop delegated harvesting
• harvesting.start: Start delegated harvesting
• namespaces.owned: Gets namespaces that an account owns
• mosaics.owned: Gets mosaics that an account owns
• mosaics.allDefinitions: Gets all mosaic definitions that an account owns
• mosaics.definitions: Gets mosaic definitions that an account has created
• transactions.incoming: Gets incoming transactions
• transactions.unconfirmed: Gets unconfirmed transactions
• transactions.all: Gets all transactions
• transactions.outgoing: Gets outgoing transactions
• unlockInfo: Gets information about the maximum number of allowed harvesters and how many harvesters are already using the node

• lastBlock: Gets the last block
• time: Get network time

nem.com.requests.endpoint

• heartbeat: Gets the node status

nem.com.requests.market

• xem: Gets XEM price in BTC

• mosaicDefinitions: Gets mosaic definitions of a namespace

nem.com.requests.supernodes

• all: Gets all supernodes info

nem.com.requests.transaction

• byHash: Gets a transaction by hash
• announce: Announce a transaction to the network

4.3 - Usage

Requests are wrapped in Promises which allow to use then() for callbacks

Examples:

// Gets chain height
nem.com.requests.chain.height(endpoint).then(function(res) {
	console.log(res)
}, function(err) {
	console.error(err)
})

// Gets account data
nem.com.requests.account.data(endpoint, "TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S").then(...);

4.4 - More

Consult src/com/requests for details about requests parameters.

• See examples/browser/monitor for browser demonstration
• See examples/node/requests for all requests in node

4.5 - WebSockets

Namespace: nem.com.websockets

Note: For now webSockets use two versions of SockJS to work in Node (v1.1.4) and the browser (v0.3.4). Using only latest SockJS v1.1.4, gives an error when used in browser:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://bob.nem.ninja:7778/w/messages/info?t=1429552020306. A wildcard '*' cannot be used in the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header when the credentials flag is true. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.

If anyone has a solution to that, it is welcome.

nem.com.websockets.connector

• create: Create a connector object
• close: Close the websocket connection

nem.com.websockets.subscribe

• errors: Subscribes to error channel

nem.com.websockets.subscribe.account

• data: Subscribes to account data channel
• transactions.recent: Subscribes to recent transactions channel
• transactions.confirmed: Subscribes to confirmed transactions channel
• transactions.unconfirmed: Subscribes to unconfirmed transactions channel

nem.com.websockets.subscribe.chain

• height: Subscribes to new chain height channel
• blocks: Subscribes to new blocks channel

nem.com.websockets.requests.account

• data: Requests account data from channel
• transactions.recent: Requests recent transactions from channel

4.6 - Usage

You first need to create a connector object pointing to the right endpoint then use this connector to open the connection.

If connection is a success, the connector.connect function will resolve a promise in a .then() function, in which you can request and subscribe to channels.

Subscription takes a connector and resolve in a simple callback function (.then() not supported), where your data will be received from the channel. It acts exactly like a .on('something').

Parameters

create

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|---------------------------------| endpoint | object | An endpoint object (using websocket port) | address | string | A NEM account address |

All subscription methods

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|---------------------------------| connector | object | An open connector object | callback | function | A callback function where data will be received | address | string | A NEM account address (optional, for custom account subscription)|

All request methods

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|---------------------------------| connector | object | An open connector object | address | string | A NEM account address (optional, for custom account request)|

Example:

// Create an endpoint object
var endpoint = nem.model.objects.create("endpoint")(nem.model.nodes.defaultTestnet, nem.model.nodes.websocketPort);

// Address to subscribe
var address = "TBCI2A67UQZAKCR6NS4JWAEICEIGEIM72G3MVW5S";

// Create a connector object
var connector = nem.com.websockets.connector.create(endpoint, address);

// Connect using connector
connector.connect().then(function() {
  // If we are here we are connected
  console.log("Connected");

  // Subscribe to new blocks channel
  nem.com.websockets.subscribe.chain.blocks(connector, function(res) {
    console.log(res);
  });

  // Subscribe to account data channel
  nem.com.websockets.subscribe.account.data(connector, function(res) {
    console.log(res);
  });

  // Request account data
  nem.com.websockets.requests.account.data(connector);

}, function (err) {
  // If we are here connection failed 10 times (1/s).
  console.log(err);
});

6 - Private Keys

A private key is a 64 or 66 characters hex string, looking like this:

// 64 characters hexadecimal private key
712cb1b773066cf572b6f271cb10be49b3e71ed24dd7b6a2ac876af9f3ad84e7

// 66 characters hexadecimal private key (always start with 00 in that case)
00d32b7c09e8747908b1ed9dbc893ff33987b2275bb3401cd5199f45b1bbbc7d75

6.1 - Create private keys

To obtain a private key, 4 choices are possible:

1. You can type yourself a random 64 hexadecimal string

2. Use the included PRNG:

// Create random bytes from PRNG
var rBytes = nem.crypto.nacl.randomBytes(32);

// Convert the random bytes to hex
var privateKey = nem.utils.convert.ua2hex(rBytes);

3. Create a private key from a passphrase:

// Derive a passphrase to get a private key
var privateKey = nem.crypto.helpers.derivePassSha(passphrase, 6000).priv;

4. Use a private key from another source.

6.2 - Create key pairs

Key pairs are objects representing accounts keys (private, secret and public) and are used to sign data or transactions.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|---------------------------------| hexData | string | 64 or 66 hexadecimal characters |

Example

// A funny but valid private key
var privateKey = "aaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeebbbbbbbbbb5555555555dddddddddd1111111111aaee";

// Create a key pair
var keyPair = nem.crypto.keyPair.create(privateKey);

6.3 - Sign with key pair

To sign a transaction or any other data simply use the above keyPair object

Example

var signature = keyPair.sign(data);

6.4 - Extract public key from key pair

You can extract the public key from the keyPair object very easily

Example

var publicKey = keyPair.publicKey.toString();

6.5 - Verify a signature

To verify a signature you need the signer public key, the data that have been signed and the signature.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | ---------------|------------------|---------------------------| publicKey | string | The signer public key | data | string | The data that were signed | signature | string | The signature of the data |

7 - Addresses

Namespace: nem.model.address

Public methods:

• b32encode
• b32decode
• toAddress
• isFromNetwork
• isValid
• clean

Addresses are base32 string used to receive XEM. They look like this:

NAMOAV-HFVPJ6-FP32YP-2GCM64-WSRMKX-A5KKYW-WHPY NAMOAVHFVPJ6FP32YP2GCM64WSRMKXA5KKYWWHPY

The version without hyphens ("-") is the one we'll use in our queries and lower level processing. The formatted version is only for visual purposes.

Beginning of the address depend of the network:

• Mainnet (104): N

• Testnet (-104): T

• Mijin (96): M

7.1 - Convert public key to an address

var address = nem.model.address.toAddress(publicKey, networkId)

7.2 - Verify address validity

var isValid = nem.model.address.isValid(address);

7.3 - Verify if address is from given network

var isFromNetwork = nem.model.address.isFromNetwork(address, networkId);

8 - Crypto Helpers

Namespace: nem.crypto.helpers

Public methods:

• toMobileKey
• derivePassSha
• passwordToPrivatekey
• checkAddress
• randomKey
• decrypt
• encrypt
• encodePrivKey
• encode
• decode

9 - Wallets

Namespace: nem.model.wallet

Public methods:

• createPRNG
• createBrain
• importPrivateKey

The SDK allow to create wallets 100% compatible with the Nano Wallet client (as BIP32 not implemented yet the client will ask for an upgrade).

Wallet can contain multiple accounts in an object of objects. The first account is the primary account and is labelled like this by default.

Every accounts objects but primary of brain wallets contains an encrypted private key. Brain wallets primary do not contains an encrypted private key because it is retrieved by the password / passphrase.

Each wallet has an algo property, it is needed to know how to decrypt the accounts.

Wallet files (.wlt) are just storing a wallet object as base 64 strings.

9.1 - Create simple wallets

nem.model.wallet.createPRNG create a wallet object with the primary account's private key generated from a PRNG

// Set a wallet name
var walletName = "QuantumMechanicsPRNG";

// Set a password
var password = "Something";

// Create PRNG wallet
var wallet = nem.model.wallet.createPRNG(walletName, password, nem.model.network.data.testnet.id);

9.2 - Create brain wallets

nem.model.wallet.createBrain create a wallet object with primary account's private key derived from a password/passphrase

// Set a wallet name
var walletName = "QuantumMechanicsBrain";

// Set a password/passphrase
var password = "Something another thing and something else";

// Create Brain wallet
var wallet = nem.model.wallet.createBrain(walletName, password, nem.model.network.data.testnet.id);

9.3 - Create private key wallets

nem.model.wallet.importPrivateKey create a wallet object with primary account's private key imported

// Set a wallet name
var walletName = "QuantumMechanicsImported";

// Set a password
var password = "Something";

// Set private key
var privateKey = "Private key to import";

// Create a private key wallet
var wallet = nem.model.wallet.importPrivateKey(walletName, password, privateKey, nem.model.network.data.testnet.id);

9.4 - Create wallet files

Create an empty file, name it walletName.wlt and put the base 64 string given by below code

// Convert stringified wallet object to word array
var wordArray = nem.crypto.js.enc.Utf8.parse(JSON.stringify(wallet));

// Word array to base64
var base64 = nem.crypto.js.enc.Base64.stringify(wordArray);

9.5 - Decrypt account in wallet

nem.crypto.helpers.passwordToPrivatekey is a function to decrypt an account into a wallet and return it's private key into the common object

// Create a common object
var common = nem.model.objects.create("common")("walletPassword/passphrase", "");

// Get the wallet account to decrypt
var walletAccount = wallet.accounts[index];

// Decrypt account private key 
nem.crypto.helpers.passwordToPrivatekey(common, walletAccount, wallet.algo);

// The common object now has a private key
console.log(common)

10 - Apostille

Namespace: nem.model.apostille

Public methods:

• create
• generateAccount
• hashing
• verify

This namespace is used to create and verify Apostilles. For detailled informations about Apostille: https://www.nem.io/ApostilleWhitePaper.pdf

10.1 - Create an Apostille

nem.model.apostille.create create an apostille object containing information about the apostille, and the transaction ready to be sent via nem.model.transactions.send.

Example

// Create a common object holding key
var common = nem.model.objects.create("common")("", "privateKey");

// Simulate the file content
var fileContent = nem.crypto.js.enc.Utf8.parse('Apostille is awesome !');

// Create the Apostille
var apostille = nem.model.apostille.create(common, "Test.txt", fileContent, "Test Apostille", nem.model.apostille.hashing["SHA256"], false, {}, true, nem.model.network.data.testnet.id);

10.2 - Verify an Apostille

nem.model.apostille.verify verify an apostille from a file content (as Word Array) and an apostille transaction object.

// Create an NIS endpoint object
var endpoint = nem.model.objects.create("endpoint")(nem.model.nodes.defaultTestnet, nem.model.nodes.defaultPort);

// Simulate the file content
var fileContent = nem.crypto.js.enc.Utf8.parse('Apostille is awesome !');

// Transaction hash of the Apostille
var txHash = "9b2dc096fb55e610c97a870b1d385458ca3d60b6f656428a981069ab8edd9a28";

// Get the Apostille transaction from the chain
nem.com.requests.transaction.byHash(endpoint, txHash).then(function(res) {
  // Verify
  if (nem.model.apostille.verify(fileContent, res.transaction)) {
    console.log("Apostille is valid");
  } else {
    console.log("Apostille is invalid");
  }
}, function(err) {
  console.log("Apostille is invalid");
  console.log(err);
});
