## Quickstart

The public SDK downloaded from [npmjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aptos) is compatible with the [Aptos devnet](https://fullnode.devnet.aptoslabs.com). To start building, run below command in your project directory:

```bash
yarn add aptos
```

or use the browser bundle

```
<script src="https://unpkg.com/aptos@latest/dist/index.global.js" />
```

Then, the SDK can be accessed through `window.aptosSDK`.

Learn the basics of how to use the SDK by following [this tutorial](https://aptos.dev/tutorials/your-first-transaction-sdk) in the Aptos developer site.

## Usage

For Javascript or Typescript usage, check out the [`./examples`][examples] folder with ready-made `package.json` files to get you going quickly!

If you are using the types in a `commonjs` module, like in a Node app, you just have to enable `esModuleInterop`
and `allowSyntheticDefaultImports` in your `tsconfig` for types compatibility:

```json
{
  ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true
    ...
  }
}
```

### Requirements

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)

```bash
yarn install
```

### Generating API client

This SDK is composed of two parts, a core client generated from the OpenAPI spec of the API, and a set of wrappers that make it nicer to use, enable certain content types, etc.

To generate the core client from the spec, run:

```bash
yarn generate-client
```

### Working with devnet

See the quickstart above.

### Working with local node

To develop in a local environment, you need to use the SDK from the [main](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/tree/main/ecosystem/typescript/sdk) branch.

**NOTE**
SDK from the main branch might not be compatible with the devnet.

Run a local node (run from the root of the repo):

```
cargo run -p aptos -- node run-local-testnet --with-faucet --faucet-port 8081 --force-restart --assume-yes
```

Run the SDK tests and make sure they pass. Go to the SDK directory, and setup an env to configure the URLs:

```
rm .env
echo 'APTOS_NODE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1"' >> .env
echo 'APTOS_FAUCET_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8081"' >> .env
```

Run the tests:

```
yarn test
```

If you see strange behavior regarding HTTP clients, try running the tests with `--detectOpenHandles`.

Package the SDK and start building:

```bash
yarn build
yarn pack
# In your project directory
yarn add PATH_TO_LOCAL_SDK_PACKAGE
```

## Semantic versioning

This project follows [semver](https://semver.org/) as closely as possible.

## Release process

To release a new version of the SDK do the following.

1. Regenerate the client:

```
yarn generate-client
```

2. Test, lint and format:

```
yarn test
yarn lint
yarn fmt
```

3. Bump the version in `package.json` according to [semver](https://semver.org/).
4. Add an entry in the CHANGELOG for the version. We adhere to [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
5. Once you're confident everything is correct, submit your PR. The CI will ensure that you have followed all the previous steps, specifically ensuring that the API, API spec, and SDK client are all compatible, that you've updated the changelog, that the tests pass, etc.
6. Land the PR on main.
7. Apply the changes to the devnet branch. CI will detect that the version has changed, build a new package, and upload it automatically to npmjs.
