Taquito Remote Signer package

TypeDoc style documentation is available on-line here

@taquito/remote-signer is an npm package that provides developers with remote signing functionality for Taquito.

General Information

If you require the server-side signing of operations on the mainnet, we recommend exploring the use of the Remote Signer package in conjunction with an HSM remote signer such as Signatory or TacoInfra's Remote Signer.

Install

npm i --save @taquito/taquito
npm i --save @taquito/remote-signer

Usage

When the RemoteSigner is configured on the TezosToolkit, Taquito features that require signing support can be used. The Contract API operations will be signed using the signer. Validation of the signature will be conducted before the operation is injected. The RemoteSigner can be injected into the TezosToolkit as follows:

import { TezosToolkit } from '@taquito/taquito';
import { RemoteSigner } from '@taquito/remote-signer';

const Tezos = new TezosToolkit('https://YOUR_PREFERRED_RPC_URL');
const signer = new RemoteSigner(pkh, rootUrl);
Tezos.setSignerProvider(signer);

// Taquito will send a request to the configured Remote Signer to sign the transfer operation:
await Tezos.contract.transfer({ to: publicKeyHash, amount: 2 });

The constructor of the RemoteSigner class requires the public key hash and the URL of the remote signer as parameters. It also takes optional headers (i.e., Authorization) and an optional HttpBackend to override the default one if needed.
