Defender Autotask example for Typescript
This folder shows how to code an Autotask using Typescript, and then using tsc to compile it to javascript in order to be run as an Autotask within Defender.
Setup
The tsconfig.json sets the configuration for the typescript compiler to emit the javascript code to be used in the Defender Autotask. Run yarn build (or simply tsc) to compile the script in src/index.ts, copy the generated code from dist/index.js, and paste it into an Autotask.
Running Locally
You can run the scripts locally, instead of in an Autotask, via a Defender Relayer. Create a Defender Relayer on mainnet, write down the API key and secret, and create a .env file in this folder with the following content:
API_KEY=yourapikey
API_SECRET=yourapisecret
Then run yarn start, which will run the typescript code using ts-node, and connecting to your Defender Relayer via the HTTP API.
