AvalancheJS is a JavaScript Library for interfacing with the Avalanche Platform. It is built using TypeScript and intended to support both browser and Node.js. The AvalancheJS library allows you to issue commands to the Avalanche node APIs.
Using AvalancheJS, developers can:
- Retrieve balances on addresses
- Get UTXOs for addresses
- Build and sign transactions
- Issue signed transactions to the X-Chain, P-Chain, and C-Chain
- Perform cross-chain swaps between the X, P and C chains
- Add Validators and Delegators
- Create Subnets and Blockchains
AvalancheJS requires Node.js LTS version 18 or higher to compile. (FORKED)
Add AvalancheJS to your project via npm
or yarn
.
For installing via npm
:
npm install --save @avalabs/avalanchejs
For installing via yarn
:
yarn add @avalabs/avalanchejs
You can also pull the repo down directly and build it from scratch.
Clone the AvalancheJS repository:
git clone https://github.com/ava-labs/avalanchejs.git
Then build it:
npm run build
or
yarn build
The AvalancheJS library can be imported into your existing project as follows:
import { avm, pvm, evm } from '@avalabs/avalanchejs';
import { avm /** X-chain */, pvm /** P-chain */, evm /** C-chain */, utils, secp256k1 } from "@avalabs/avalanchejs"
// example calls
const exportTx = avm.newExportTx(...) // constructs a new export tx from X
const addValidatorTx = pvm.newAddPermissionlessValidatorTx(...) // constructs a new add validator tx on P
const importTx = evm.newImportTx(...) // constructs a new import tx to C
const publicKeyBytes = utils.hexToBuffer(publicKeyHex)
const signature = secp256k1.signHash(bytes, privateKeyBytes)
