Basic usage

// import { Blockfrost, Lucid } from "https://deno.land/x/lucid@0.10.7/mod.ts"; Deno
import { Blockfrost, Lucid } from "lucid-cardano"; // NPM

const lucid = await Lucid.new(
  new Blockfrost("https://cardano-preview.blockfrost.io/api/v0", "<projectId>"),
  "Preview",
);

// Assumes you are in a browser environment
const api = await window.cardano.nami.enable();
lucid.selectWallet(api);

const tx = await lucid.newTx()
  .payToAddress("addr...", { lovelace: 5000000n })
  .complete();

const signedTx = await tx.sign().complete();

const txHash = await signedTx.submit();

console.log(txHash);

Compatibility

Lucid is an ES Module, so to run it in the browser any bundler which allows for top level await and WebAssembly is recommended. If you use Webpack 5 enable in the webpack.config.js:

experiments: {
    asyncWebAssembly: true,
    topLevelAwait: true,
    layers: true // optional, with some bundlers/frameworks it doesn't work without
  }

To run the library in Node.js you need to set {"type" : "module"} in your project's package.json. Otherwise you will get import issues.
