Node/JavaScript SDK

Set up the private key and handle for the SDK to use for signing subsequent requests with configure. The other SDK functionality will not be available until this configuration is completed. The SDK does not store this information outside of the instance that is configured. It is never transmitted over the network or stored outside the scope of that instance.

Legacy Package Names

Prior to 0.2.49 this was the unscoped package sila-sdk-javascript. If you are still running the legacy package and want to upgrade to >= 0.2.49 you can do so without breaking changes by replacing the legacy package with the scoped @silamoney/sdk package

Wallet Generation

The installation step does not include ==wallet generation== the Wallet Generation code provided here are the wallet environment variables that you will need when you get to the register step. They will live with the other environment variable but you do not need them in the initial installation set up.

// Generate a new wallet
const wallet = Sila.generateWallet();
console.log(wallet.address); // Public wallet address
console.log(wallet.privateKey); // Private wallet key
