Crust SDK

Crust provides PolkadotJS based SDK to access Crust Network functionalities. It is implemented as crust.js library to provide additional type definitions.

crust.js

This library provides additional typing information for users to access Crust Network by using polkadot.js

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies

yarn add @polkadot/api @crustio/type-definitions

2. Create API instance

import {ApiPromise, WsProvider} from '@polkadot/api';
import {typesBundleForPolkadot} from '@crustio/type-definitions';

async function main() {
    const api = new ApiPromise({
      provider: new WsProvider('wss://api.crust.network'),
      typesBundle: typesBundleForPolkadot,
    });
    await api.isReady;

    // Use api
}

main();

3. Interact with chain

// Query file info
const fileInfo = await api.query.market.files('QmRaknS23vXEcdJezkrVC5WrApQNUkUDdTpbRdvh5fuJHc');
console.log(fileInfo.toHuman());

E2E code sample can be found here.

Crust Types

• Use crust types

import {crustTypes} from '@crustio/type-definitions';

// Define FileInfo
export type FileInfo = typeof crustTypes.market.types.FileInfo;

// Use FileInfo as `interface`

• Types

  • DSM Types: FileInfo, MerchantLedger, Replica, ...
  • MPoW Types: Identity, WorkReport, ...
  • GPoS Types: Guarantee, ...
