The Shinkai Typescript Lib is a powerful library designed for building and managing Shinkai messages in Typescript applications. Shinkai messages are the main primitive of the Shinkai Network and it's using for communication with a Shinkai Node. This guide will walk you through the basics of using the library, from installation to creating and sending messages.
Note: This is a native Typescript library, unlike the other library available in the Shinkai Network, which is in WASM wrapped with Typescript.
To get started, install the Shinkai Typescript Lib via npm:
npm install @shinkai_protocol/shinkai-typescript-libIf the node is in a pristine state, we need to register a new profile (with a device) before we can create a job or send a message. This involves generating two pairs of encryption and signature keys and using them to construct a registration message.
Usually the most basic flow is: create job, send message to job, get messages from inbox.
