# IsomorphicProvider

The IsomorphicProvider is the NodeJS and browser compatble provider for making queries to the Pocket network chain, sending relays or dispatching sessions.

## Installation
Install from NPM, using your favorite package manager:

```js
pnpm i @pokt-foundation/pocketjs-isomorphic-provider
```

## Usage
### Initialization
```js
import { IsomorphicProvider } from '@pokt-foundation/pocketjs-isomorphic-provider'

// If you wanna just send queries to the chain, this is the simplest way to Initialize it:
const simpleProvider = new IsomorphicProvider({ 
  // RPC_URL = any URL that connects to a Pocket node, or a Pocket mainnet portal endpoint
  rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL 
})

// If you wanna also send relays, you'll need to initialize dispatchers as well.
// Dispatchers are Pocket nodes that only perform dispatch calls (to the route /client/dispatch) to generate sessions.
const providerWithDispatchers = new IsomorphicProvider({
    // RPC_URL = needs to be a pocket node to send relays.
    rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL
    // DISPATCHER_1, DISPATCHER_2 = pocket node URLs for dispatching. You can include as many as you can for redundancy.
    dispatchers: [process.env.DISPATCHER_1, process.env.DISPATCHER_2]
})

```
### Usage examples
```js
import { IsomorphicProvider } from '@pokt-foundation/pocketjs-isomorphic-provider'

const simpleProvider = new IsomorphicProvider({ 
  rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL 
})

// Getting an account's balance
const balance = await simpleProvider.getBalance('0992d9acddf86ad7dcae1c96cb37a88d0b716243')

// Getting the type of an account (node, app, or normal account);
const accountType = await simpleProvider.getType('4a6dd4559ff723ea1937ec379be0998e15c61c04');

// Getting existing apps, involving pagination
const apps = await simpleProvider.getApps({
  page: 1,
  perPage: 500,
  // customizable timeout
  timeout: 5000
})
```
