Using xrpl.js from a CDN

You can avoid setting up your build system to handle xrpl.js by using a cdn version that is prebuilt for the browser.

• jsdelivr <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/build/xrpl-latest-min.js"></script>

Ensure that the full path is provided so the browser can find the sourcemaps.

If you want to use xrpl.js with React Native you will need to install polyfills for core NodeJS modules.

1. Install dependencies (you can use yarn as well):

   npm install xrpl \
       fast-text-encoding \
       react-native-get-random-values

2. After that, run the following commands:

   # compile `react-native-get-random-values` pods see https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-get-random-values#installation
   npx pod-install

3. Create polyfills.js and add

// Required for TextEncoder/TextDecoder
import 'fast-text-encoding'
// Required for `crypto.getRandomValues`
import 'react-native-get-random-values'

4. Import polyfills in index file your project (it must be the first line):

import './polyfills'
...

Note

The following is currently broken due to denoland/deno#20516. Once that is fixed there could be other issues as well.

import xrpl from 'https://dev.jspm.io/npm:xrpl';

(async () => {
  const api = new (xrpl as any).Client('wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233');
  const address = 'rH8NxV12EuV...khfJ5uw9kT';

  api.connect().then(() => {
    api.getBalances(address).then((balances: any) => {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(balances, null, 2));
    });
  });
})();
