Installing

Using npm:

npm install @wpdas/naxios @near-wallet-selector/[email protected]

Using yarn:

yarn add @wpdas/naxios @near-wallet-selector/[email protected]

How to Use

Preparing it

Import the NEAR Wallet Selector styles. The app needs it to render the Wallet Selector correctly.

import '@near-wallet-selector/modal-ui/styles.css'

Using It

It's super easy to get a Wallet and/or Contract API in place all at once. Take a look:

// web3Api.ts
import naxios from '@wpdas/naxios'

const naxiosInstance = new naxios({
  rpcNodeUrl: 'free.rpc.fastnear.com', // optional
  contractId: CONTRACT_ID,
  network: 'testnet',
})

/**
 * NEAR Wallet API (Must be a single instance)
 */
export const walletApi = naxiosInstance.walletApi()

// Examples of contract API instance usage

/**
 * Contract API
 * This is going to use default contractId (CONTRACT_ID)
 */
export const contractApi = naxiosInstance.contractApi()

/**
 * Another Contract API
 */
export const socialDBcontractApi = naxiosInstance.contractApi({ contractId: 'v1.social08.testnet' })

/**
 * Greeting Contract API
 */
export const greetingContractApi = naxiosInstance.contractApi({
  contractId: 'dev-1692221685438-15421910364142',
})

Opening the Sign-in Wallet Selector Modal

You can open up the NEAR Wallet Selector modal by calling signInModal():

import { walletApi } from './web3Api'

walletApi.signInModal()

Customizing the Wallets Options for NEAR Wallet Selector

By default, naxios only uses @near-wallet-selector/my-near-wallet as a means of connecting the wallet. However, you can add other wallet selectors as follows:

npm install @near-wallet-selector/ledger @near-wallet-selector/my-near-wallet

Then, you can start naxius as follows:

import naxios from '@wpdas/naxios'
import { setupMyNearWallet } from '@near-wallet-selector/my-near-wallet'
import { setupLedger } from '@near-wallet-selector/ledger'

const naxiosInstance = new naxios({
  contractId: CONTRACT_ID,
  network: 'testnet', // or mainnet, localnet
  walletSelectorModules: [setupMyNearWallet(), setupLedger()],
})

/**
 * NEAR Wallet API (Must be a single instance)
 */
export const walletApi = naxiosInstance.walletApi()

Contract API Reference

• view: Make a read-only call to retrieve information from the network. It has the following parameters:
  • method: Contract's method name.
  • props?: an optional parameter with args for the contract's method.
  • config?: currently, this has only the useCache prop. When useCache is true, this is going to use non-expired cached data instead of calling the contract's method.
• call: Call a method that changes the contract's state. This is payable. It has the following parameters:
  • method: Contract's method name
  • props?: an optional parameter with args for the contract's method, gas, deposit to be attached and callbackUrl if you want to take the user to a specific page after a transaction succeeds.
• callMultiple: Call multiple methods that change the contract's state. This is payable and has the following parameters:
  • transactionsList: A list of Transaction props. You can use buildTransaction(...) to help you out
  • callbackUrl?: A page to take the user to after all the transactions succeed.

Wallet API Reference

• accounts: Signed-in Accounts.
• accountId: Main/first signed-in account ID in the accounts list.
• contractId: Contract ID.
• initNear: Initializes a connection to the NEAR blockchain. This is called automatically when there's any contract interaction.
• network: Current network (testnet, mainnet or localnet).
• recentlySignedInWallets: Returns ID-s of 5 recently signed in wallets.
• selectedWalletId: Selected Wallet Id
• signInModal: Open up the Signin Wallet Modal.
• wallet: Wallet instance.
• walletSelector: WalletSelector instance.

Contract View

Using a view method is free.

import { greetingContractApi } from './web3Api'

// [free]
greetingContractApi.view<string>('get_greeting').then((response) => console.log(response))

Contract Call

You need to pay for every request you make for a call method. This is going to change data and store it within the blockchain.

import { greetingContractApi } from './web3Api'

// Set greeting [payable]
const args: { message: 'Hi there!!!' }
greetingContractApi.call<string | undefined>('set_greeting', args).then((response) => console.log(response || 'done!'))

Contract Multiple Calls at Once

As well as the call, you will need to pay for every request you make. This is going to change data and store it within the blockchain.

import { buildTransaction } from '@wpdas/naxios'
import { contractApi } from './web3Api'

// Using the default instance's contract
const transactionA = buildTransaction('set_greeting', { args: { greeting: 'Hello my dear!' } })
const transactionB = buildTransaction('set_age', { args: { age: 22 } })
// Using diff contract
const transactionC = buildTransaction('update_state', {
  receiverId: 'my-state-contract.testnet',
  args: { allowed: true },
})

// Optional
const callbackUrl = 'https://my-page.com/callback-success'

// [payable]
contractApi.callMultiple([transactionA, transactionB, transactionC], callbackUrl).then(() => console.log('Done!'))

Cache System

There are two kinds of cache systems to be used. They are Memory Cache and Storage Cache.

Memory Cache: will be cleared when the app refreshes, as its data lives in memory only. Storage Cache: The data will remain even when the browser tab is refreshed. Data is persisted using Local Storage.

When instantiating a cache, you need to provide the expirationTime (in seconds). This is used to know when the cache should be returned instead of making a real contract call. When the cache expires, a real call to the contract is made. Each contract's method has its own time of expiration.

// web3Api.ts
import naxios, { StorageCache } from '@wpdas/naxios'

// ...

/**
 * Cached - Greeting Contract API
 */
export const cachedGreetingContractApi = naxiosInstance.contractApi({
  contractId: 'dev-1692221685438-15421910364142',
  cache: new StorageCache({ expirationTime: 5 * 60 }), // 5 minutes
})

Then, to use cached view, you can just pass the configuration object saying you want to use cached data.

import { cachedGreetingContractApi } from './web3Api'

// Fetch Greetings [free]
const args: {}
const config: { useCache: true }
cachedGreetingContractApi.view<string>('get_greeting', args, config).then((response) => console.log(response))

Utils

buildTransaction

The buildTransaction method is useful when you need to build a contract's Transaction body, mainly when you want to make multiple contract calls.

See reference here.

validateNearAddress

This is used to check if an address is a valid NEAR address.

import { validateNearAddress } from '@wpdas/naxios'

console.log(validateNearAddress('fake.near')) // true
console.log(validateNearAddress('fake.nears')) // false
console.log(validateNearAddress('fake.testnet')) // true
console.log(validateNearAddress('fake')) // false

calculateDepositByDataSize

Calculate required deposit for data being stored. (~0.00001N per byte) with a bit extra for buffer

import { calculateDepositByDataSize } from '@wpdas/naxios'

const myData = { age: 22, name: 'user name' }
console.log(calculateDepositByDataSize(myData)) // 0.00087 Near (not yocto NEAR)
