NPM Packages
For developers looking to include Nimiq support on their applications, there are two npm packages available:
Web Developers
Simple Web Application on top of Nimiq
A good way to get started is to have a look at the most simple web application on top of the Nimiq Blockchain.
Getting Started
Import Nimiq
as an ES6 module:
import Nimiq from '@nimiq/core-web';
import Nimiq from 'node_modules/@nimiq/core-web/web.esm.js';
To use Nimiq's cryptographic functions (for hashing, signing, derivation),
you have to make the following files from this package available to the browser
(for e.g. Vue, this means copying them into the public
folder, or getting them
otherwise into the output directory):
worker.js
worker-js.js
worker-wasm.js
worker-wasm.wasm
You can then load the Nimiq worker by calling Nimiq.load()
with the URL of the folder containing the files:
const workerURL = location.origin + '/assets/nimiq/';
Nimiq.load(workerURL).then(async function() {
});
Using a regular <script> tag
Include the nimiq.js
file from this package into your project:
<script src="node_modules/@nimiq/core-web/nimiq.js"></script>
If you do not need networking support, you can also use the smaller offline build:
Nimiq.loadOffline().then(...);
