@polkadot/api
Warning - currently this does not actually do all that much, it is an attempt to put into code some thoughts about how to maintain the endpoints. This library provides a clean wrapper around all the methods exposed by a Polkadot network client. Methods are auto-generated for the JsonRPC interface definitions.
Usage
Installation -
npm install --save @polkadot/api
Initialisation -
import Api from '@polkadot/api';
import HttpProvider from '@polkadot/api-provider/http';
const provider = new HttpProvider('http://127.0.0.1:9933');
const api = new Api(provider);
Making calls -
api.chain
.getHeader('0x1234567890')
.then((header) => console.log(header))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));
Available methods
