Getting Started

See also: RippleAPI Beginners Guide

You can use npm, but we recommend using yarn for the added assurance provided by yarn.lock.

Install ripple-lib:

$ yarn add ripple-lib

Then see the documentation and code samples.

Mailing Lists

We have a low-traffic mailing list for announcements of new ripple-lib releases. (About 1 email per week)

If you're using the XRP Ledger in production, you should run a rippled server and subscribe to the ripple-server mailing list as well.

Development

To build the library for Node.js:

$ yarn compile

The TypeScript compiler will output the resulting JS files in ./dist/npm/.

To build the library for the browser:

$ yarn build

Gulp will output the resulting JS files in ./build/.

For more details, see the scripts in package.json.

Running Tests

  1. Clone the repository
  2. cd into the repository and install dependencies with yarn install
  3. yarn test

Generating Documentation

The continuous integration tests require that the documentation stays up-to-date. If you make changes to the JSON schemas, fixtures, or documentation sources, you must update the documentation by running yarn run docgen.

npm may be used instead of yarn in the commands above.
