README

Warning: This is an experimental 'hacker-friendly' wallet. It's intended for use by software developers. It has been tested only for the most common use-cases. It has been known to burn SLP tokens. Do not use this wallet for tokens with value.

slp-cli-wallet

This is an npm library and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet that runs on the command line. Add this library to your app to instantly give it the ability to transact on the BCH network! New to Bitcoin Cash? Find educational resources on the FullStack.cash Documenation page.

This project has the following goals:

  • Create a code base for a wallet that is easily forkable and extensible by JavaScript developers.
  • Provide a high-level abstraction to make it easy for new developers to add BCH and SLP wallet functionality into their apps.

If you want a wallet with a graphical user interface, check out wallet.FullStack.cash. For a front-end friendly package, check out minimal-slp-wallet-web. Bitcoin Cash functionality is implemented in all wallets with bch-js, provided by FullStack.cash. The command line interface for this project is built with oclif.

Also, be sure to check out the design decisions and trade-offs that went into the creation of this project in the docs directory

NPM Usage

The npm library can be included in your own app to instantly give it the ability to send and receive BCH transactions, including SLP tokens. Here is an example of how to include it in your own app. This example will generate a new HD wallet.

// Instantiate the Create Wallet class from this library.
const CreateWallet = require('slp-cli-wallet/src/commands/create-wallet')
const createWallet = new CreateWallet()

const walletFile = './wallet.json'

async function makeNewWallet() {
  const wallet = await createWallet.createWallet(walletFile)

  console.log(`wallet: ${JSON.stringify(wallet, null, 2)}`)
}
makeNewWallet()

Node and NPM Versions

This app is tested on the following versions for npm and node.js:

  • npm: v7.12.1
  • node.js: v14.16.1

Install Dev Environment

While this npm library can be used globally, the intended audience is developers familiar with the usage of npm and git. Here is how to set up your own developer environment:

  • Clone this repo with git clone.
  • Install npm dependencies with npm install
  • Execute the commands like this: ./bin/run help

Running the wallet this way, you can edit the behavior of the wallet by making changes to the code in the src/commands directory.
