IsomorphicProvider

The IsomorphicProvider is the NodeJS and browser compatble provider for making queries to the Pocket network chain, sending relays or dispatching sessions.

Installation

Install from NPM, using your favorite package manager:

pnpm i @pokt-foundation/pocketjs-isomorphic-provider

Usage

Initialization

import { IsomorphicProvider } from '@pokt-foundation/pocketjs-isomorphic-provider'

// If you wanna just send queries to the chain, this is the simplest way to Initialize it:
const simpleProvider = new IsomorphicProvider({ 
  // RPC_URL = any URL that connects to a Pocket node, or a Pocket mainnet portal endpoint
  rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL 
})

// If you wanna also send relays, you'll need to initialize dispatchers as well.
// Dispatchers are Pocket nodes that only perform dispatch calls (to the route /client/dispatch) to generate sessions.
const providerWithDispatchers = new IsomorphicProvider({
    // RPC_URL = needs to be a pocket node to send relays.
    rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL
    // DISPATCHER_1, DISPATCHER_2 = pocket node URLs for dispatching. You can include as many as you can for redundancy.
    dispatchers: [process.env.DISPATCHER_1, process.env.DISPATCHER_2]
})

Usage examples

import { IsomorphicProvider } from '@pokt-foundation/pocketjs-isomorphic-provider'

const simpleProvider = new IsomorphicProvider({ 
  rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL 
})

// Getting an account's balance
const balance = await simpleProvider.getBalance('0992d9acddf86ad7dcae1c96cb37a88d0b716243')

// Getting the type of an account (node, app, or normal account);
const accountType = await simpleProvider.getType('4a6dd4559ff723ea1937ec379be0998e15c61c04');

// Getting existing apps, involving pagination
const apps = await simpleProvider.getApps({
  page: 1,
  perPage: 500,
  // customizable timeout
  timeout: 5000
})
