Contents

Installation and Usage with package managers (npm/yarn)

npm install bigchaindb-driver

Example: Create a transaction

import * as driver from 'bigchaindb-driver'

// BigchainDB server instance or IPDB (e.g. https://test.ipdb.io/api/v1/)
const API_PATH = 'http://localhost:9984/api/v1/'

// Create a new user with a public-private key pair
// (or a whole bunch of them, nobody's counting)
const alice = new driver.Ed25519Keypair()

// Construct a transaction payload
// `driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction()`: create a new asset
// `driver.Transaction.makeTransferTransaction()`: transfer an existing asset
const tx = driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction(
    { assetMessage: 'My very own asset...' },
    { metaDataMessage: 'wrapped in a transaction' },
    // A transaction needs an output
    // `driver.Transaction.makeOutput()`: requires a crypto-condition
    // `driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition()`: simple public key output
    [ driver.Transaction.makeOutput(
            driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey))
    ],
    alice.publicKey
)

// Optional: You've got everything you need, except for an asset
// and metadata. Maybe define them here, any JSON-serializable object
// will do

// Ok, now that you have a transaction, you need to *sign* it
// cause, you know... cryptography and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

// Sign/fulfill the transaction with private keys
const txSigned = driver.Transaction.signTransaction(tx, alice.privateKey)

// Send the transaction off to BigchainDB
let conn = new driver.Connection(API_PATH)

conn.postTransaction(txSigned)
    .then(() => conn.getStatus(txSigned.id))
    .then((res) => console.log('Transaction status:', res.status))

Speed Optimizations

This implementation plays "safe" by using JS-native (or downgradable) libraries for its crypto-related functions to keep compatibilities with the browser. If you do want some more speed, feel free to explore the following:
