@dignetwork/vite-plugin-dig

A Vite plugin that makes DIG a first-class deploy target. Build with Vite, deploy to a DIG capsule — a network no host can read, change, or take down — on Chia.

It does two things:

1. Dev wallet, for free. During vite dev it injects the @dignetwork/dig-sdk window.chia dev shim — the same injected-provider contract the SDK's ChiaProvider detects in production — so you can develop the wallet path without the DIG Browser or an extension. The shim guards on a real wallet (the DIG Browser always wins) and never fakes a signature.
2. Publish to a capsule. digDeploy() ships your built site to a DIG capsule via digstore deploy, printing the chia:// / DIGHUb URL. Publishing spends $DIG, so it is a deliberate publish step — never part of vite build.

npm i -D @dignetwork/vite-plugin-dig

Quickstart

1. Add the plugin to vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { digVite } from "@dignetwork/vite-plugin-dig";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [digVite()], // injects the window.chia dev wallet during `vite dev`
});

Run vite dev and your app now has a window.chia to develop against. The SDK's ChiaProvider (mode: "injected") connects to it just like it would the real DIG Browser wallet — except it returns a clearly-fake mock address and refuses to sign, so you always know it's the dev stub.

2. Add your store config to dig.toml (run digstore new to scaffold one, or write it by hand):

store-id      = "<your 64-hex store id>"
output-dir    = "dist"          # Vite's default build dir
message       = "deploy from vite"

3. Add a publish script that builds, then deploys:

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "deploy": "vite build && node -e \"import('@dignetwork/vite-plugin-dig').then(m=>m.digDeploy())\""
  }
}

# Secrets come from env, never the command line:
export DIGSTORE_DEPLOY_KEY=<from `digstore deploy-key export`>
# (private store only) export DIGSTORE_STORE_SALT=<hex>
npm run deploy

digDeploy() reads dig.toml + DIGSTORE_* env, then runs digstore deploy --json to advance the on-chain root, stage dist/, and push the new capsule. It returns:

{
  capsule: "<storeId>:<rootHash>",                  // the capsule identity you can share
  storeId: "<storeId>",
  root:    "<rootHash>",
  chiaUrl: "chia://<storeId>:<rootHash>/",          // what a user clicks to open your verified app
  digUrl:  "chia://<storeId>:<rootHash>/",          // @deprecated alias of chiaUrl (same value)
  hubUrl:  "https://hub.dig.net/stores/<storeId>",  // the DIGHUb "view it" page
}

Prereq: digstore must be installed and on PATH (the canonical deployer — the plugin never hand-rolls a deploy or a spend). See the install docs.

API

digVite(options?): Plugin

The Vite plugin. Add to plugins. Options:

| Option | Type | Default | Meaning | |---|---|---|---| | devWallet | boolean | true | Inject the window.chia dev shim during vite dev. | | devWalletOptions.address | string | a clearly-fake dev address | The mock receive address the shim returns from getAddress. |

The shim is only injected on the dev server (apply: "serve") — never into a production build.

digDeploy(options?, deps?): Promise<DeployResult>

Deploy the built site. Call from a publish script after vite build. options are the digstore deploy knobs: storeId, outputDir (default dist), message, network, remote, waitTimeout, plus cwd and digstoreBin. Config precedence is options > DIGSTORE_* env > dig.toml > default. On failure it throws a coded DigAdapterError.

version() / capabilities()

import { version, capabilities } from "@dignetwork/vite-plugin-dig";
version();        // "0.1.0"
capabilities();   // { name, version, framework: "vite", features: [...], errorCodes: [...], docs }

Error codes

The publish path always throws a DigAdapterError with a stable .code — branch on the code:

| Code | When | |---|---| | DIGSTORE_NOT_FOUND | digstore is not installed / not on PATH. | | DEPLOY_FAILED | digstore deploy exited non-zero (the on-chain advance / push failed). | | DEPLOY_OUTPUT_UNPARSEABLE | digstore deploy --json output couldn't be parsed into a capsule. | | INVALID_ARGUMENT | A malformed argument (e.g. a non-hex store id). |

import { digDeploy, isDigAdapterError } from "@dignetwork/vite-plugin-dig";
try {
  await digDeploy();
} catch (e) {
  if (isDigAdapterError(e, "DIGSTORE_NOT_FOUND")) console.error("Install digstore first.");
  else throw e;
}

The full catalogue is exported as DIG_ADAPTER_ERROR_CODES.
