interchain

interchain makes it easy to compose and broadcast Cosmos messages, with all of the proto and amino encoding handled for you.

install

``sh
npm install interchain

Usage

`js
import { cosmoshub } from 'interchain';

const { createRPCQueryClient } = cosmoshub.ClientFactory;
const client = await createRPCQueryClient({ rpcEndpoint: RPC_ENDPOINT });

// now you can query the cosmos modules
const balance = await client.cosmos.bank.v1beta1
.allBalances({ address: 'cosmoshub1addresshere' });

// you can also query the cosmoshub modules
const balances = await client.cosmoshub.exchange.v1beta1
.exchangeBalances()
`

$3

Import the cosmoshub object from interchain.

`js
import { cosmoshub } from 'interchain';

const {
createSpotLimitOrder,
createSpotMarketOrder,
deposit
} = cosmoshub.exchange.v1beta1.MessageComposer.withTypeUrl;
`

#### CosmWasm Messages

`js
import { cosmwasm } from "interchain";

const {
clearAdmin,
executeContract,
instantiateContract,
migrateContract,
storeCode,
updateAdmin
} = cosmwasm.wasm.v1.MessageComposer.withTypeUrl;
`

#### IBC Messages

`js
import { ibc } from 'interchain';

const {
transfer
} = ibc.applications.transfer.v1.MessageComposer.withTypeUrl
`

#### Cosmos Messages

`js
import { cosmos } from 'interchain';

const {
fundCommunityPool,
setWithdrawAddress,
withdrawDelegatorReward,
withdrawValidatorCommission
} = cosmos.distribution.v1beta1.MessageComposer.fromPartial;

const {
multiSend,
send
} = cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MessageComposer.fromPartial;

const {
beginRedelegate,
createValidator,
delegate,
editValidator,
undelegate
} = cosmos.staking.v1beta1.MessageComposer.fromPartial;

const {
deposit,
submitProposal,
vote,
voteWeighted
} = cosmos.gov.v1beta1.MessageComposer.fromPartial;
`

Connecting with Wallets and Signing Messages

⚡️ For web interfaces, we recommend using cosmos-kit. Continue below to see how to manually construct signers and clients.

Here are the docs on creating signers in cosmos-kit that can be used with Keplr and other wallets.

$3

Use getSigningcosmoshubClient to get your SigningStargateClient, with the proto/amino messages full-loaded. No need to manually add amino types, just require and initialize the client:

`js
import { getSigningcosmoshubClient } from 'interchain';

const stargateClient = await getSigningcosmoshubClient({
rpcEndpoint,
signer // OfflineSigner
});
`


$3

To broadcast messages, you can create signers with a variety of options:

* cosmos-kit (recommended)
* keplr
* cosmjs


$3

Likely you'll want to use the Amino, so unless you need proto, you should use this one:

`js
import { getOfflineSignerAmino as getOfflineSigner } from 'cosmjs-utils';
`


$3

`js
import { getOfflineSignerProto as getOfflineSigner } from 'cosmjs-utils';
`

WARNING: NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE PLAIN-TEXT MNEMONICS. Please take care of your security and use best practices such as AES encryption and/or methods from 12factor applications.

`js
import { chains } from 'chain-registry';

const mnemonic =
'unfold client turtle either pilot stock floor glow toward bullet car science';
const chain = chains.find(({ chain_name }) => chain_name === 'cosmoshub');
const signer = await getOfflineSigner({
mnemonic,
chain
});
`


$3

Now that you have your stargateClient, you can broadcast messages:

`js
const { send } = cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MessageComposer.withTypeUrl;

const msg = send({
amount: [
{
denom: 'coin',
amount: '1000'
}
],
toAddress: address,
fromAddress: address
});

const fee: StdFee = {
amount: [
{
denom: 'coin',
amount: '864'
}
],
gas: '86364'
};
const response = await stargateClient.signAndBroadcast(address, [msg], fee);
`

Advanced Usage


If you want to manually construct a stargate client

`js
import { OfflineSigner, GeneratedType, Registry } from "@cosmjs/proto-signing";
import { AminoTypes, SigningStargateClient } from "@cosmjs/stargate";

import {
cosmosAminoConverters,
cosmosProtoRegistry,
cosmwasmAminoConverters,
cosmwasmProtoRegistry,
ibcProtoRegistry,
ibcAminoConverters,
cosmoshubAminoConverters,
cosmoshubProtoRegistry
} from 'interchain';

const signer: OfflineSigner = / create your signer (see above) /
const rpcEndpint = 'https://rpc.cosmos.directory/cosmoshub'; // or another URL

const protoRegistry: ReadonlyArray<[string, GeneratedType]> = [
...cosmosProtoRegistry,
...cosmwasmProtoRegistry,
...ibcProtoRegistry,
...cosmoshubProtoRegistry
];

const aminoConverters = {
...cosmosAminoConverters,
...cosmwasmAminoConverters,
...ibcAminoConverters,
...cosmoshubAminoConverters
};

const registry = new Registry(protoRegistry);
const aminoTypes = new AminoTypes(aminoConverters);

const stargateClient = await SigningStargateClient.connectWithSigner(rpcEndpoint, signer, {
registry,
aminoTypes
});
`

Developing

When first cloning the repo:

`
yarn
yarn build
`

$3

Contract schemas live in ./contracts, and protos in ./proto. Look inside of scripts/codegen.js and configure the settings for bundling your SDK and contracts into interchain:

`
yarn codegen
`

$3

Build the types and then publish:

`
yarn build
yarn publish
``
