ocean.js

JavaScript library to privately & securely publish, exchange, and consume data.

With ocean.js, you can:

• Publish data services: downloadable files or compute-to-data. Create an ERC721 data NFT for each service, and ERC20 datatoken for access (1.0 datatokens to access).
• Sell datatokens for a fixed price. Sell data NFTs.
• Transfer data NFTs & datatokens to another owner, and all other ERC721 & ERC20 actions using web3.js etc.

ocean.js is part of the Ocean Protocol toolset.

This is in alpha state. If you run into problems, please open up a new issue.

📚 Prerequisites

• node.js (Install from here)
• Docker (Managed as a non-root user)
• A Unix based operating system (Mac or Linux)

🏗 Installation & Usage

npm install @oceanprotocol/lib

• Checkout our code examples or compute to data examples to see how you can use ocean.js.
• Refer to the Ocean Protocol documentation for more guides and tutorials.
• Visit the Ocean Protocol website for general information about Ocean Protocol.
• If you have any difficulties or if you have further questions about how to use ocean.js please reach out to us on Discord.
• If you notice any bugs or issues with ocean.js please open an issue on github.

🦑 Development

The project is authored with TypeScript and compiled with tsc.

To start compiler in watch mode:

npm install
npm start

✨ Code Style

For linting and auto-formatting you can use from the root of the project:

# lint all js with eslint
npm run lint

# auto format all js & css with prettier, taking all configs into account
npm run format

👩‍🔬 Testing

Test suite for unit & integration tests is setup with Mocha as test runner, and nyc for coverage reporting. A combined coverage report is sent to CodeClimate via the coverage GitHub Actions job.

Running all tests requires running Ocean Protocol components beforehand with Barge, which also runs a ganache-cli instance:

git clone https://github.com/oceanprotocol/barge
cd barge

./start_ocean.sh --with-provider2 --no-dashboard --with-c2d

You can then proceed to run in another terminal.

Let ocean.js know where to pickup the smart contract addresses, which has been written out by Barge in this location:

export ADDRESS_FILE="${HOME}/.ocean/ocean-contracts/artifacts/address.json"

Build metadata:

npm run build:metadata

Executing linting, type checking, unit, and integration tests with coverage reporting all in one go:

npm test

Unit Tests

You can execute the unit tests individually with:

npm run test:unit
# same thing, but with coverage reporting
npm run test:unit:cover

Integration Tests

You can execute the integration tests individually with:

npm run test:integration
# same thing, but with coverage reporting
npm run test:integration:cover

Note: On macOS, changes to the provider, metadataCache and subgraph URLs are required, as their default barge IPs can not be accessed due to network constraints on macOS. Instead use http://127.0.0.1 for each direct call to the mentioned services, but keep the internal provider URL (http://172.15.0.4:8030) hardcoded inside all DDO's serviceEndpoint, and when calling nft.setMetadata().

🛳 Production

To create a production build, run from the root of the project:

npm run build

⬆️ Releases

Releases are managed semi-automatically. They are always manually triggered from a developer's machine with release scripts.

Production

From a clean main branch you can run the release task bumping the version accordingly based on semantic versioning:

npm run release

The task does the following:

• bumps the project version in package.json, package-lock.json
• auto-generates and updates the CHANGELOG.md file from commit messages
• creates a Git tag
• commits and pushes everything
• creates a GitHub release with commit messages as description
• Git tag push will trigger a GitHub Action workflow to do a npm release

For the GitHub releases steps a GitHub personal access token, exported as GITHUB_TOKEN is required. Setup

Pre-Releases

For pre-releases, this is required for the first one like v0.18.0-next.0:

./node_modules/.bin/release-it major|minor|patch --preRelease=next

Further releases afterwards can be done with npm run release again and selecting the appropriate next version, in this case v0.18.0-next.1 and so on.
