Lucid


Lucid is a library, which allows you to create Cardano transactions and off-chain code for your Plutus contracts in JavaScript, Deno and Node.js.
















### Get started

#### NPM

```
npm install lucid-cardano
```

#### Deno 🦕

For JavaScript and TypeScript

```js
import { Lucid } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";
```

#### Web

```html

import { Lucid } from "https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/web/mod.js"
// ...

```

###

### Build from source

Build NPM and Web target

```
deno task build
```

Outputs a `dist` folder

### Examples

- [Basic examples](./src/examples/)
- [Next.js Blockfrost Proxy API Example](https://github.com/GGAlanSmithee/cardano-lucid-blockfrost-proxy-example)

### Basic usage

```js
// import { Blockfrost, Lucid } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts"; Deno
import { Blockfrost, Lucid } from "lucid-cardano"; // NPM

const lucid = await Lucid.new(
new Blockfrost("https://cardano-preview.blockfrost.io/api/v0", ""),
"Preview",
);

// Assumes you are in a browser environment
const api = await window.cardano.nami.enable();
lucid.selectWallet(api);

const tx = await lucid.newTx()
.payToAddress("addr...", { lovelace: 5000000n })
.complete();

const signedTx = await tx.sign().complete();

const txHash = await signedTx.submit();

console.log(txHash);
```

### Test

```
deno task test
```

### Build Core

This library is built on top of a customized version of the serialization-lib
(cardano-multiplatform-lib) and on top of the message-signing library, which are
written in Rust.

```
deno task build:core
```

### Test Core

```
deno task test:core
```

### Docs

[View docs](https://doc.deno.land/https://deno.land/x/lucid/mod.ts) 📖

You can generate documentation with:

```
deno doc
```

### Compatibility

Lucid is an ES Module, so to run it in the browser any bundler which allows for
top level await and WebAssembly is recommended. If you use Webpack 5 enable in
the `webpack.config.js`:

```
experiments: {
asyncWebAssembly: true,
topLevelAwait: true,
layers: true // optional, with some bundlers/frameworks it doesn't work without
}
```

To run the library in Node.js you need to set `{"type" : "module"}` in your
project's `package.json`. Otherwise you will get import issues.
