@defuse-protocol/outlayer-sdk

TypeScript gRPC SDK for the Outlayer service, built with Connect-ES. Node.js only — speaks gRPC over HTTP/2 to the worker, and ships the generated message types plus an execute helper.

Install

The SDK is published publicly to npm:

npm install @defuse-protocol/outlayer-sdk

Usage

import { createOutlayerClient } from "@defuse-protocol/outlayer-sdk";

const client = createOutlayerClient("http://localhost:50051");

const res = await client.execute({
  app: { appId: "app.near" },
  input: new TextEncoder().encode("{}"),
});

if (res.error) {
  console.error(res.error, res.fuelConsumed); // WASM run failed (returned as data)
} else {
  console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(res.output), res.fuelConsumed);
}

Apps can also be executed directly from a URL with either a hexadecimal or raw-byte SHA-256 hash:

const res = await client.execute({
  app: {
    codeUrl: "https://example.com/app.wasm",
    codeHash: "8f2466da...",
  },
  input: new TextEncoder().encode("{}"),
});

execute resolves to { output, logs, fuelConsumed, error? }; output/logs are raw Uint8Arrays. A populated error means the run reached the worker but the WASM failed — returned as data, not thrown. Transport failures reject with a ConnectError.

Authentication

A worker behind Google IAM wants a Google ID token. Create a Google token manager and inject it into the client. The manager mints, caches, and refreshes tokens. If the worker rejects a request as unauthenticated, the Google manager invalidates the cached token, generates a fresh one, and retries once:

import {
  createGoogleJwtTokenManager,
  createOutlayerClient,
  type JwtTokenManager,
} from "@defuse-protocol/outlayer-sdk";

const jwtTokenManager = createGoogleJwtTokenManager({
  impersonate: "[email protected]",
});

const client = createOutlayerClient({
  endpoint: "https://worker.example.com:443",
  auth: jwtTokenManager,
});

Omit auth for a worker with authentication disabled. With Google, omit impersonate to use Application Default Credentials directly:

createOutlayerClient("http://localhost:50051");
createGoogleJwtTokenManager();
createGoogleJwtTokenManager({ impersonate });

Google auth needs the optional peer dependency google-auth-library. Install it only when using createGoogleJwtTokenManager.

The audience defaults to outlayer, which is what the worker expects unless its deployment sets another one. Override it in the manager options:

createGoogleJwtTokenManager({ audience: "another-audience" });

Other identity providers can implement the provider-neutral interface:

const jwtTokenManager: JwtTokenManager = {
  generateToken: () => myTokenSource(),
  invalidateToken: async () => clearMyTokenCache(),
  handleAuthError: async (error) => {
    throw error;
  },
};

Call invalidateToken() at any time to force the next request to generate a fresh token:

jwtTokenManager.invalidateToken();

An authToken passed to execute overrides the configured manager for that request. The override can be a token or a synchronous or asynchronous function:

await client.execute({ app, input }, { authToken: idToken });
await client.execute({ app, input }, { authToken: () => getFreshToken() });

Override tokens are sent as given and bypass the manager's retry behavior.

The JWT-protected worker integration test is disabled unless its endpoint or token is configured. Provide both variables to run it:

OUTLAYER_ENDPOINT=https://worker.example.com:443 \
OUTLAYER_JWT_TOKEN="$(get-token)" \
pnpm test:jwt-live

For inline WASM, a fuel limit, or a custom transport, use the underlying Connect client at client.raw, or build your own from the re-exported OutlayerService.
