Lucid is a library, which allows you to create Cardano transactions and off-chain code for your Plutus contracts in JavaScript and Node.js.
This library is experimental. Expect bugs. It's still work in progress.
You can check out the examples folder.
await Lucid.initialize(
'Testnet',
new Blockfrost('https://cardano-testnet.blockfrost.io/api/v0', '<projectId>'),
);
// Assumes you are in a browser environment
await Lucid.selectWallet('nami');
const tx = await Tx.new()
.payToAddress("addr...", {lovelace: 5000000n})
.complete();
const signedTx = (await tx.sign()).complete();
const txHash = await signedTx.submit();
console.log(txHash);Coming soon
To run it in the browser Webpack 5 is recommended or any other bundler which allows for top level await and WebAssembly. When you use Webpack 5 enable in the webpack.config.js:
experiments: {
asyncWebAssembly: true,
topLevelAwait: true,
}
Make sure in your package.json you have set {"type" : "module"}. Otherwise you will get import issues.
To run the library flawlessly in Node.js you need to set the flag --es-module-specifier-resolution=node behind node.
This library is built on top of a customized version of the serialization-lib (cardano-multiplatform-lib).
