Get Started with cardanocli-js

cardanocli-js wraps the cardano-cli in JavaScript and makes it possible to interact with the cli-commands much faster and more efficient.

Prerequisites​

  • cardano-node >= 1.26.1
  • node.js >= 12.19.0

Install​

NPM​

npm install cardanocli-js

From source​

git clone https://github.com/Berry-Pool/cardanocli-js.git
cd cardanocli-js
npm install

Get started​

const CardanocliJs = require("cardanocli-js");
const shelleyGenesisPath = "/home/ada/mainnet-shelley-genesis.json";

const cardanocliJs = new CardanocliJs({ shelleyGenesisPath });

const createWallet = (account) => {
  cardanocliJs.addressKeyGen(account);
  cardanocliJs.stakeAddressKeyGen(account);
  cardanocliJs.stakeAddressBuild(account);
  cardanocliJs.addressBuild(account);
  return cardanocliJs.wallet(account);
};

const createPool = (name) => {
  cardanocliJs.nodeKeyGenKES(name);
  cardanocliJs.nodeKeyGen(name);
  cardanocliJs.nodeIssueOpCert(name);
  cardanocliJs.nodeKeyGenVRF(name);
  return cardanocliJs.pool(name);
};

const wallet = createWallet("Ada");
const pool = createPool("Berry");

console.log(wallet.paymentAddr);
console.log(pool.vrf.vkey);

For testnets for example this is the working version​

const CardanocliJs = require("cardanocli-js");
const shelleyGenesisPath = "../..//tconfig/testnet-shelley-genesis.json";
const options={}
options.shelleyGenesisPath = shelleyGenesisPath
options.network = "testnet-magic 1097911063"

const cardanocliJs = new CardanocliJs(options);

const createWallet = (account) => {
    try{
        paymentKeys = cardanocliJs.addressKeyGen(account);
        stakeKeys   = cardanocliJs.stakeAddressKeyGen(account);
        stakeAddr   = cardanocliJs.stakeAddressBuild(account);
        paymentAddr = cardanocliJs.addressBuild(account,{
            "paymentVkey": paymentKeys.vkey,
            "stakeVkey": stakeKeys.vkey
        });
        return cardanocliJs.wallet(account);
    }
    catch(err){
        console.log(err)
    }

};

const createPool = (name) => {
  cardanocliJs.nodeKeyGenKES(name);
  cardanocliJs.nodeKeyGen(name);
  cardanocliJs.nodeIssueOpCert(name);
  cardanocliJs.nodeKeyGenVRF(name);
  return cardanocliJs.pool(name);
};

const wallet = createWallet("Ada");
const pool = createPool("Berry");

console.log(wallet.paymentAddr);
console.log(pool.vrf.vkey);
