JavaScript and TypeScript

The current JavaScript SDK is published as @iroha/iroha-js. It is the Node.js-first SDK for Torii, Norito builders, signing, pagination, Connect previews, and offline readiness plus QR stream workflows.

Install

bash
npm install @iroha/iroha-js
npm run build:native

The native build wraps cargo build -p iroha_js_host and records the platform-specific checksum used at SDK startup. Run it after installing the Rust toolchain from the upstream workspace. The package is ESM-only; from CommonJS, use dynamic import().

Working from Source

When using the workspace checkout directly:

bash
cd javascript/iroha_js
npm install
npm run build:native
npm run build:dist

Set IROHA_JS_NATIVE_DIR only for tests that need to point at an alternate native/ directory. Normal applications should use the packaged native build.

Quickstart

js
import { ToriiClient } from "@iroha/iroha-js/torii";
import { generateKeyPair } from "@iroha/iroha-js/crypto";

const torii = new ToriiClient("http://127.0.0.1:8080", {
  authToken: "dev-token",
});

const keys = generateKeyPair();
console.log(keys.publicKey);

Try Taira Read-Only

Use built-in fetch in Node.js 18+ to probe Taira before adding signing and Norito transaction code:

js
const root = "https://taira.sora.org";

const status = await fetch(`${root}/status`).then((res) => res.json());
console.log({
  blocks: status.blocks,
  queueSize: status.queue_size,
  peers: status.peers,
});

const domains = await fetch(`${root}/v1/domains?limit=5`).then((res) =>
  res.json(),
);
console.log(domains.items.map((domain) => domain.id));

const assets = await fetch(`${root}/v1/assets/definitions?limit=5`).then((res) =>
  res.json(),
);
for (const asset of assets.items) {
  console.log(asset.id, asset.name, asset.total_quantity);
}

Save it as taira-readonly.mjs, then run it:

bash
node taira-readonly.mjs

Move to signed SDK calls only after these read-only checks work. Public Taira can temporarily return a saturated queue or gateway error, so keep live-network tests opt-in in CI.

Useful subpath imports:

js
import { ToriiClient } from "@iroha/iroha-js/torii";
import { noritoEncodeInstruction } from "@iroha/iroha-js/norito";
import { generateKeyPair } from "@iroha/iroha-js/crypto";

Offline QR stream helpers are exported from the package root:

js
import { OfflineQrStream } from "@iroha/iroha-js";

For browser-only Connect bootstrap, use @iroha/iroha-js/connect-browser instead of importing the Node-first ToriiClient surface.

Current Coverage

The SDK focuses on:

  • Torii HTTP and WebSocket helpers
  • Norito transaction and instruction builders
  • Ed25519 signing and key generation
  • pagination and retry helpers
  • Connect browser bootstrap helpers
  • Offline V2 readiness and QR stream tooling
