Sui TypeScript SDK

This is the Sui TypeScript SDK providing utility classes and functions for applications to sign
transactions and interact with the Sui network. It supports multiple communication protocols
including gRPC (recommended), GraphQL, and JSON RPC (deprecated).

Building Locally

To get started you need to install pnpm, then run the following command:

``bash


Install all dependencies

$ pnpm install

Run build for the TypeScript SDK if you're in the sdk/sui project

$ pnpm run build

Run sdk build for the TypeScript SDK if you're in the root of sui repo


$ pnpm sdk build
`

> All pnpm commands below are intended to be run in the root of the Sui repo.

Type Doc

You can view the generated Type Doc for the
current release of the SDK at
https://sdk.mystenlabs.com/typedoc/index.html.

For the latest docs for the main branch, run pnpm doc and open the
doc/index.html in your browser.

Testing

To run unit tests

`
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui test:unit
`

To run E2E tests against local network

`
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui prepare:e2e

// This will run all e2e tests
pnpm --filter @mysten/sui test:e2e

// Alternatively you can choose to run only one test file
npx vitest txn-builder.test.ts
`

Troubleshooting:

If you see errors like ECONNRESET or "socket hang up", run node -v to make sure your node
version is v18.x.x. Refer to this
guide to switch node version.

Some more follow up here is if you used homebrew to install node, there could be multiple paths to
node on your machine.

To run E2E tests against Devnet

`
VITE_FAUCET_URL='https://faucet.devnet.sui.io:443/v2/gas' VITE_FULLNODE_URL='https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io' pnpm --filter @mysten/sui exec vitest e2e
`

Connecting to Sui Network

The SuiGrpcClient class provides a connection to the Sui network via gRPC and is the recommended
client for all operations. The default URLs to connect with the gRPC server are:

- local: http://127.0.0.1:9000
- Devnet: https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443
- Testnet: https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443
- Mainnet: https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443

`typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// create a client connected to devnet
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
network: 'devnet',
baseUrl: 'https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443',
});

// get coins owned by an address using the Core API
await client.getCoins({
owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
`

For local development, you can run cargo run --bin --with-faucet --force-regenesis to spin up a
local network with a local validator, a fullnode, and a faucet server. Refer to
this guide for more information.

`typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// create a client connected to localnet
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
network: 'localnet',
baseUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:9000',
});

// get coins owned by an address using the Core API
await client.getCoins({
owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
`

You can also construct your own SuiGrpcClient connections with the URL for your own fullnode:

`typescript
import { SuiGrpcClient } from '@mysten/sui/grpc';

// create a client connected to your own fullnode
const client = new SuiGrpcClient({
network: 'devnet',
baseUrl: 'https://your-fullnode.example.com:443',
});

// get coins owned by an address using the Core API
await client.getCoins({
owner: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
`

Getting coins from the faucet

You can request sui from the faucet when running against devnet or localnet. For testnet, visit
faucet.sui.io.

`typescript
import { getFaucetHost, requestSuiFromFaucetV2 } from '@mysten/sui/faucet';

await requestSuiFromFaucetV2({
host: getFaucetHost('devnet'),
recipient: '0xcc2bd176a478baea9a0de7a24cd927661cc6e860d5bacecb9a138ef20dbab231',
});
`
