Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
bitbox-api
Advanced tools
A library to interact with the BitBox02 hardware wallet.
Check out the sandbox project that shows how to use this library.
Example:
import * as bitbox from 'bitbox-api';
// Run this in e.g. a button onClick event handler.
async function example() {
try {
const onClose = () => {
// Handle disconnect.
};
const unpaired = await bitbox.bitbox02ConnectAuto(onClose);
const pairing = await unpaired.unlockAndPair();
const pairingCode = pairing.getPairingCode();
if (pairingCode !== undefined) {
// Display pairingCode to user
}
const bb02 = await pairing.waitConfirm();
console.log('Product', bb02.product());
console.log('Supports Ethereum functionality (Multi edition)?', bb02.ethSupported());
const deviceInfos = await bb02.deviceInfo();
console.log('Device infos:', deviceInfos);
} catch (err) {
const typedErr = bitbox.ensureError(err);
console.log(typedErr);
}
}
The package's bitbox_api.d.ts
file contain a documentation of all types and functions.
In WebPack projects, enable the asyncWebAssembly
and topLeveLAwait
features in your
webpack.config.js
(see https://webpack.js.org/configuration/experiments/):
module.exports = {
//...
experiments: {
asyncWebAssembly: true,
topLevelAwait: true,
},
};
Here is a sample vite.config.ts
:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react-swc'
import wasm from "vite-plugin-wasm";
import topLevelAwait from "vite-plugin-top-level-await";
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react(), wasm(), topLevelAwait()],
})
You need to install the wasm and topLevelAwait plugins to add them to the project.
