The Lit JavaScript SDK provides developers with a framework for implementing Lit functionality into their own applications. Find installation instructions in the docs to get started with the Lit SDK based on your use case:
https://developer.litprotocol.com/SDK/Explanation/installation
This new V3 SDK is written in Typescript and is a complete rewrite of the old SDK. It is much more modular and easier to use, and has a much smaller bundle size.
ChangeLog: All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
Removed browser-specific methods, e.g., checkAndSignAuthSig
yarn add @lit-protocol/lit-node-client-nodejs
or..
Operable in both Node.js and the browser
yarn add @lit-protocol/lit-node-client
or..
For usage directly in the browser with a script tag
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@lit-protocol/lit-node-client-vanilla/lit-node-client.js"></script>
<script>
const authSig = LitJsSdk_litNodeClient.checkAndSignAuthMessage({chain: 'ethereum'});
</script>
📝 If you're looking to use the Lit SDK, you're probably all set with just the lit-node-client .

If you're a tech-savvy user and wish to utilize only specific submodules that our main module relies upon, you can find individual packages listed below. This way, you can import only the necessary packages that cater to your specific use case::
NOTE: For (Test) apps, all packages and functions can be called inside the browser console. eg.
window.LitJsSdk_[package_name].[function_name]
- node (v18.0.0)
The following commands will help you start developing with this repository.
First, install the dependencies via yarn:
yarn
You can build the project with the following command:
yarn build
The test apps are configured to automatically import all modules and expose all module functions. For browsers, you can access these functions using window.LitJsSdk_<package_name>.<function_name>
// Running apps...
// html: http://localhost:4002
// react: http://localhost:4003
// nodejs: in the terminal
yarn apps
or running individually
// html
yarn nx run html:serve
// react
yarn nx run react:serve
// nodejs
yarn nx run nodejs:serve
yarn test:unit
// -- web
yarn test:e2e:web
// -- node
yarn test:e2e:node
By default, NX provides a command to generate a library
nx generate @nrwl/js:library
. However, it doesn't have an esbuild built-in so that we've created a custom tool that modify the build commands.
yarn gen:lib <package-name> <tag>
yarn tools --create --react contracts-sdk --demo
// delete an app from ./app/<app-name>
yarn delete:app <app-name>
// delete a package from ./packages/<package-name>
yarn delete:package <package-name>
yarn build
yarn nx run <project-name>:build
During development you may wish to build your code changes in packages/
in a client application to test the correctness of the functionality.
If you would like to establish a dependency between packages within this monorepo and an external client application that consumes these packages:
- Run
npm link
at the root of the specific package you are making code changes in.
cd ./packages/*/<package-name>
npm link
- Build the packages with or without dependencies
yarn build
# or
yarn nx run lit-node-client-nodejs:build --with-deps=false
- In the client application, run
npm link <package> --save
to ensure that thepackage.json
of the client application is updated with afile:
link to the dependency. This effectively creates a symlink in thenode_modules
of the client application to the local dependency in this repository.
cd path/to/client-application
npm link <package> --save
Having done this setup, this is what the development cycle looks like moving forward:
- Make code change
- Rebuild specific package
- Rebuild client application.
Run yarn bump
to bump the version. You must have at least nodejs v18 to do this. Next, run yarn buildAndPublish
to build and then publish.
yarn publish:packages
yarn tools --clone <project-name> <clone-project-name> <(?) --publish> <(?) --remove-after>
// eg
yarn tools --clone lit-node-client @litprotocol/dev --publish --remove-after
git checkout serrano
yarn bump
yarn build
yarn node ./tools/scripts/pub.mjs --tag serrano-jalapeno
yarn bump
yarn build
yarn test:unit
yarn test:e2e:nodejs
yarn gen:docs --push
yarn publish:packages
git add *
git commit -m "Published version X.X.X"
git push
The following will serve the react testing app and launch the cypress e2e testing after
yarn test:e2e:web
or
yarn test:e2e:node
There are currently three environments can be tested on, each of which can be generated from a custom command, which would automatically import all the libraries in ./packages/*
. The UI of HTML & React are visually identical but they are using different libraries.
Environment | Generate Command | Test Location |
---|---|---|
HTML | yarn gen:html |
http://localhost:4002 |
React | yarn gen:react |
http://localhost:4003 |
NodeJs | yarn gen:nodejs |
yarn nx run nodejs:serve |
yarn test:unit
Since both HTML & React UIs are identical, we can run the same test suite against two different environments of libraries. This is done by setting the PORT
number before Cypress launch.
HTML
// E2E HTML
yarn tools --test --e2e html
React
// E2E React
yarn tools --test --e2e react
First, deploy your Lit Node Contracts, since the correct addresses will be pulled from the ../lit-assets/blockchain/contracts/deployed-lit-node-contracts-temp.json
file.
Set these two env vars:
export LIT_JS_SDK_LOCAL_NODE_DEV="true"
export LIT_JS_SDK_FUNDED_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY="putAFundedPrivateKeyOnChronicleHere"
Run:
yarn update:contracts-sdk --fetch
yarn update:contracts-sdk --gen
yarn build:packages
To run manual tests:
yarn nx run nodejs:serve
- LIT_JS_SDK_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN - a github access token to get the contract ABIs from a private repo
- LIT_JS_SDK_LOCAL_NODE_DEV - set to true to use a local node
- LIT_JS_SDK_FUNDED_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY - set to a funded wallet on Chronicle Testnet
