xrp-batch-payout-cli

A library and command-line tool for batched, reliable payouts with XRP.

Getting Started

NPM (recommended)

1. npm install xrp-batch-payout-cli -g (as a command-line tool)
2. OR npm install xrp-batch-payout-cli (as a library for an existing project)
3. xrp-batch-payout-cli (run command-line tool)

Usage

As a Command-Line Tool

Usage: xrp-batch-payout-cli [options]

Options:
  -V, --version      output the version number
  -f, --file <path>  JSON file that contains prompt overrides
  -h, --help         display help for command

Prompt overrides help:
  inputCsv - The input CSV path. Should point to a file that contains the receiver's XRP details.
  outputCsv - The output CSV path. Will be generated after xrp-batch-payout-cli is complete.
  network - The XRPL network. Either 'testnet' or 'mainnet'.
  serverUrl - The WebSocket endpoint for the rippleD node.
  usdToXrpRate - The price of 1 XRP in USD.
  secret - The XRP wallet seed. Used to generate an ephemeral wallet to locally sign transactions.
  confirmed - The confirmation status. Indicates whether to start or cancel the payout.

Example prompt overrides object:
{
  "inputCsv": "input.csv",
  "outputCsv": "output.csv",
  "network": "mainnet",
  "serverUrl": "wss://s1.ripple.com",
  "maxFee": 0.01,
  "usdToXrpRate": 0.25,
  "secret": "shBfYr5iEzQWJkCraTESe2FeiPo4e",
  "confirmed": true
}

As a Library

This repo is also a library/npm module that gives you access to:

• Generic primitives for reading/parsing/validating I/O from a command-line prompt or file
• Generic primitives for sending reliable XRP payments, and batch payments
• Well defined schemas for validation (can easily add your own for custom use cases)

All of these functions are exported via src/index.ts, and accessible in via Javascript or Typescript.

Features

• Guaranteed success for each payment, or application exits, so there can be no non-sequential partial successes
  • If a payment succeeds (both validated by the ledger and successful), the payment is recorded to the output file, and the batch payout continues
  • If a payment fails, the application exits, and the output for that payment is not recorded to the output file
  • If a payment is pending, the application retries and if it cannot guarantee success it exits, and the payment is not recorded to the output file
• Strict validation on files and user input
  • Minimizes chances of payment failure due to validation error by failing fast
