# iota.rs (iota-client)
The official, general-purpose IOTA client library in Rust for interaction with the IOTA network (Tangle).
The goal of this library is to have _one source code of truth_, which means that there is one implementation in Rust and [bindings](#bindings) to other programming languages.
For value transfers we recommend using [wallet.rs](https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet.rs).
This library allows you to do the following:
* Create blocks with tagged data and transaction payloads
* Get blocks and outputs
* Sign transactions
* Generate addresses
* Interact with an IOTA node
## Using the library
We recommend you to first update the Rust compiler to the latest stable version:
```shell
rustup update stable
```
The nightly Rust compiler should be fine but some changes might not be compatible.
Also for Linux `libudev` is needed for the `ledger_nano` feature and can be installed with `apt install libudev-dev`.
Add `iota-client` as a dependency in `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
iota-client = "2.0.1-rc.6"
```
Or, for the latest changes:
```toml
[dependencies]
iota-client = { git = "https://github.com/iotaledger/iota.rs", branch = "develop" }
```
Then, use the library in code with:
```rust
// Note that the hyphen is replaced with an underscore
use iota_client;
```
## Limitations
- When using the `mqtt` feature, connecting to a MQTT broker using raw IP doesn't work with TCP. This is a limitation of `rustls`.
## Examples
You can see examples using the library in the [examples](client/examples/) directory. Try them with:
```shell
# cargo run --example
cargo run --example node_api_core_get_info
```
For examples where a seed is required (e.g. `01_generate_addresses`) you need to create a `.env` file under the current directory. You can do so by renaming [`.env.example`](.env.example) to `.env`.
## API reference
You can read the [API reference](https://docs.rs/iota-client) here, or generate it yourself.
If you'd like to explore the implementation in more depth, the following command generates docs for the whole crate, including private modules:
```shell
cargo doc --document-private-items --no-deps --open
```
## Bindings
Bindings to other programming languages are available under the folder [bindings](client/bindings/).
* [Node.js binding](client/bindings/nodejs/)
* [Python binding](client/bindings/python/)
* [Java binding](client/bindings/java/)
* [Wasm binding](client/bindings/wasm/)
