# Sui TypeScript SDK

This is the Sui TypeScript SDK providing utility classes and functions for applications to sign
transactions and interact with the Sui network. It supports multiple communication protocols
including gRPC (recommended), GraphQL, and JSON RPC (deprecated).

## Building Locally

To get started you need to install [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/), then run the following command:

```bash
# Install all dependencies
$ pnpm install

# Run `build` for the TypeScript SDK if you're in the `sdk/sui` project
$ pnpm run build

# Run `sdk build` for the TypeScript SDK if you're in the root of `sui` repo
$ pnpm sdk build
```

> All `pnpm` commands below are intended to be run in the root of the Sui repo.

## Type Doc

You can view the generated [Type Doc](https://typedoc.org/) for the
[current release of the SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mysten/sui) at
https://sdk.mystenlabs.com/typedoc/index.html.

For the latest docs for the `main` branch, run `pnpm doc` and open the
[doc/index.html](doc/index.html) in your browser.

## Testing

To run unit tests

```
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui test:unit
```

To run E2E tests against local network

```
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui prepare:e2e

// This will run all e2e tests
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui test:e2e

// Alternatively you can choose to run only one test file
npx vitest txn-builder.test.ts
```

Troubleshooting:

If you see errors like `ECONNRESET or "socket hang up"`, run `node -v` to make sure your node
version is `v18.x.x`. Refer to this
[guide](https://blog.logrocket.com/how-switch-node-js-versions-nvm/) to switch node version.

Some more follow up here is if you used homebrew to install node, there could be multiple paths to
node on your machine.

To run E2E tests against Devnet

```
VITE_FAUCET_URL='https://faucet.devnet.sui.io:443/v2/gas' VITE_FULLNODE_URL='https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io' pnpm --filter @mysten/sui exec vitest e2e
```

## Connecting to Sui Network

The `SuiGrpcClient` class provides a connection to the Sui network via gRPC and is the recommended
client for all operations. The default URLs to connect with the gRPC server are:

- local: http://127.0.0.1:9000
- Devnet: https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443
- Testnet: https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443
- Mainnet: https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// create a client connected to devnet
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'devnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443',
});

// get coins owned by an address using the Core API
await client.getCoins({
	owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
```

For local development, you can run `cargo run --bin --with-faucet --force-regenesis` to spin up a
local network with a local validator, a fullnode, and a faucet server. Refer to
[this guide](https://docs.sui.io/build/sui-local-network) for more information.

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// create a client connected to localnet
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'localnet',
	baseUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:9000',
});

// get coins owned by an address using the Core API
await client.getCoins({
	owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
```

You can also construct your own SuiGrpcClient connections with the URL for your own fullnode:

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// create a client connected to your own fullnode
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'devnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://your-fullnode.example.com:443',
});

// get coins owned by an address using the Core API
await client.getCoins({
	owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
```

## Getting coins from the faucet

You can request sui from the faucet when running against devnet or localnet. For testnet, visit
faucet.sui.io.

```typescript
import { getFaucetHost, requestSuiFromFaucetV2 } from '@mysten/sui/faucet';

await requestSuiFromFaucetV2({
	host: getFaucetHost('devnet'),
	recipient: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
```

## Writing APIs

For a primer for building transactions, refer to
[this guide](https://docs.sui.io/build/prog-trans-ts-sdk).

### Transfer Object

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'testnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443',
});

const tx = new Transaction();
tx.transferObjects(
	['0xe19739da1a701eadc21683c5b127e62b553e833e8a15a4f292f4f48b4afea3f2'],
	'0x1d20dcdb2bca4f508ea9613994683eb4e76e9c4ed371169677c1be02aaf0b12a',
);
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });
```

### Transfer Sui

To transfer `1000` MIST to another address:

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'testnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443',
});

const tx = new Transaction();
const [coin] = tx.splitCoins(tx.gas, [1000]);
tx.transferObjects([coin], keypair.getPublicKey().toSuiAddress());
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });
```

### Merge coins

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'testnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443',
});

const tx = new Transaction();
tx.mergeCoins('0xe19739da1a701eadc21683c5b127e62b553e833e8a15a4f292f4f48b4afea3f2', [
	'0x127a8975134a4824d9288722c4ee4fc824cd22502ab4ad9f6617f3ba19229c1b',
]);
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });
```

### Move Call

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'testnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443',
});

const packageObjectId = '0x...';
const tx = new Transaction();
tx.moveCall({
	target: `${packageObjectId}::nft::mint`,
	arguments: [tx.pure.string('Example NFT')],
});
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });
```

### Publish Modules

To publish a package:

```typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';
import { Ed25519Keypair } from '@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519';
import { Transaction } from '@mysten/sui/transactions';
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

// Generate a new Ed25519 Keypair
const keypair = new Ed25519Keypair();
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
	network: 'testnet',
	baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443',
});

const { modules, dependencies } = JSON.parse(
	execSync(`${cliPath} move build --dump-bytecode-as-base64 --path ${packagePath}`, {
		encoding: 'utf-8',
	}),
);
const tx = new Transaction();
const [upgradeCap] = tx.publish({
	modules,
	dependencies,
});
tx.transferObjects([upgradeCap], keypair.toSuiAddress());
const result = await client.signAndExecuteTransaction({
	signer: keypair,
	transaction: tx,
});
console.log({ result });
```
